Yo,

Did Aaron make the bench?

Huge match, I think we play well. Everton is going to press and run early and we need to weather the storm.

This match is what it is all about boys and girl.

GUNNERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its over. Cant stomach this. We have regressed. Oh well, this will be a wake up call for a change in philosophy.

Oh god if ramsey gets hurt.

And this bothers me, carzola has been a pile of dog shite and you take off the only guy that has taken a fricking shot.

Glad I didn't wake up early for that shite show.

13 points out of the last possible 36 is fricking pathetic.

I kinda had too many drinks last night. I looked at my phone earlier and saw it was 1-0 and said "yep, I'm going back to bed"

20 goals against in the 4 away games against top 5 opponents. Not good.

I got too drunk last night and slept through my alarm, can't say I'm surprised with the result. This choke job is becoming monumental and it seems so unfair to us with all the injuries. Let's just hope Everton can stumble in their remaining fixtures, no remaining games seem like a surefire W for Arsenal at this point.

Did Ramsey play at least? Can anything positive be taken from that?

I'm trying to avoid knee jerk reactions but it's hard not to. Does Arsenal need a change at manager? I'm trying to watch the game again and this is pathetic. Every single away game against the top 5 was the same bloodbath, what is Arsene doing at all? It's maddening and nothing seems to change. Everton should've had like 5 goals in the first.

a good deal of it has been injuries, but AW has had some headscratchers too. even early when we were playing well, we were a bit fortunate rambo and giroud were in great form because the all-CAM approach was a predictable form of attack. now that giroud has lost form and ozil, rambo, theo, etc are injured, it makes it hard to do anything different. this recent stretch has been very depressing though, and it's pretty shocking AW's thrown out practically the same XI throughout this downturn.

missing the CL would really hurt us a lot. would likely mean 1) AW steps down; 2) less money to spend; 3) less attractive destination for summer targets. i think it's pretty likely at this point AW goes into the sunset. kinda nerve-wracking looking at what has happened to ManU. no matter who we'd get, replacing a legend isn't easy.

we still definitely have a chance to qualify, especially with rambo back, but it sucks that our fate is largely out of our hands at this point.

All this depression aside, please take a minute to watch a song that was LITERALLY written for Glass.

I'm not kidding. It's perfect. Watch it now.

Aaron Ramsey

idk, i didnt see anything from the players other than ramsey. It is wenger that rates the players and chooses the lineups. You cant really blame anyone but him at this point. 20 points to teams in the top 5, same amount weve let in against the 14 other clubs combined.

nothing ive really seen since january tells me were are even better than manu. we very well may be in the eruopa league with them. They went out and adressed an issue, got juan mata. They look the better team rt now and both times we played. As long as we can get a coach that will stick around I will be fine. I dont want to be like chelsea.

The big question in my mind, does missing the CL, but winning some silverware keep AW around. I say yes. What do you think?

It looks more and more like Wenger leaves if he wins the FA Cup, he may leave too if Arsenal don't win that. It's all just an odd situation and falls in the middle of a horrible run of results. If Wenger does go I just pray they somehow bring in Klopp.

Everton still have to play City, United and at St. Mary's. Arsenal aren't picking up 3 points against scrubs like they were but the remaining fixtures are all incredibly winnable. I'm confident Arsenal can hang on.

I don't know. Honestly I'm thinking he retires. Usually the team has fight left at the end. This year not so much. Maybe a sign? It is scary, but at the sane time wenger is one if the highest paid professional coaches in the world. I know we could afford a good coach, and let's be honest, wenger was totally out coached today.

It pains me, but I'm not really having fun/enjoying watching our club play lately. Getting drilled, questioning the tactics, then getting depressed mulling over all the injuries. It all makes me so sad

Ha, we've been here before, unfortunately. I don't want Wenger to go out like he has. He's stubborn, but he's been brilliant for us. I'd rather he go out on his terms. We suck right now, but as soon as Ramsey and the Ox came on we played better.

We just have to win out and hope Everton drop points. They have a couple of tough fixtures, but in truth so do we given our current form.
