re: Arsenal 2014/15 Season Long Thread

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!!

I hate this season...

I dunno.

It's down to Arsenal and Chelsea.

I honestly don't think we'll beat them despite them having a million injuries of which now include Reus.

They'll press the shite out of us and it'll lead to 2 or 3 counterattacking goals as always.

We have got to finish off some chances against them.

I've been expecting a major run since early September but nope. We won't have a major run anytime soon. Unbalanced squad isn't helping us whatsoever.

We'll continue to pile on injuries before we get a good run of results. That game at West Brom is vital next week because we get Southampton right after. We have got to win both.

We will right the ship and go on a major run soon. It is coming. Have some faith.

I hope you're right, glass.

Hey guys no hard feelings after last night

I know Cwill was pretty pissed

Yesterday was a reflection of how frustrating this season has been but we need to slow our roll. Outside of Chelsea and City, the rest of the competition for top 4 looks pretty shaky.

It sucks but it looks like it may be another season of a late push for top 4 and getting too excited with being average.

I do take something from the fact that we played really well. The margin between where we want to be and where we are is slim, as slim as Jack laying that ball off to Alexis for a 1-0 lead. Soccer really is unlike any other sport in that those fractional decisions change EVERYTHING.

The pieces are at least coming together. We're still without Ozil and Theo, two very important cogs in the attack. We're missing out first choice right back, our best defender in Kosc.

It's still very early. If we play like we can, we can run off some results. It's just extremely frustrating to enter a season with title hopes and be relegated to hoping for top four, but I think we're seeing progress at least in terms of overall performance. We are getting closer, and while I wasn't hoping to be at that point in this season right now, it's where we are.

Lol, very true. Maybe we're a year away. You can see the things that weren't clicking earlier this season clicking now. Interested to see how we fit Ozil back into the mix.

Arsene Wenger should pay for Arsenal's poor start to the Premier League season with his job, according to high-profile Gunners fan Piers Morgan.

Arsenal's 2-1 defeat by Manchester United on Saturday evening leaves them in eighth place in the table, with just four wins from twelve games.

And the former Britain's Got Talent judge, who has long been a critic of Wenger, blamed the manager for his tactical naivety and branded him 'mediocre'.

I dug out a column I wrote for the Mail on Sunday six years ago on Monday,' Morgan told BBC phone-in 606. 'It was a very contentious column at the time as I called for Arsene Wenger to go after we got hammered 3-0 away at Man City.

'It could've been written yesterday. All the things I said were wrong with Wenger then haven't changed. He's basically replaced world-beating, Double-winning, invincible teams with players who are half the size physically and, in my view, have half the aggression and half the fight in them.

'Tactically I think Wenger is shockingly naive now. My real issue with him is that Arsene Wenger was brilliant for eight years, absolutely brilliant. And the problem with being so brilliant then is that it's bought him an incredibly long time of being mediocre.'

He's such a prick
