English Premier League

Arsenal's title chances [*]

We're gonna get run into the ground. I was actually hoping Wenger would try & help his team in this transfer window. Everyone needed it so much. But no, he left everything till the very last day like he always does, and as a result we ended up with a 31-year-old INJURED (you couldn't make this shit up!) Swede from a bench somewhere in Moscow. Yes, I realise that he wanted Draxler, it's hard to get what you want in January and he really, really hates all this mid-season dealing, but I'm still bitterly disappointed. Why the hell is he the one to deal with transfers anyway? He should have people to do that for him, to hand them some kind of a player-list and simply ask "see what you can do". The whole situation just made the mood around the club worse and you could actually sense that during today's game.

To ease up on all the negativity a bit - great game by The Ox, classy return

City were absolutely shambolic though, they're so easy to find out it's funny They have no plan B, if they cannot outscore their opponents they're suddenly in huge trouble. And their bench wasn't that impressive either for a team that is supposedly aiming to win the quadruple I mean, two players missing and they're suddenly justified of being that bad? Puh-lease! Just look at Arsenal. That's how you cope with injuries. No one cares whether we have Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla, Walcott, Arteta, Flamini... Thank f*ck Giroud is indestructible (*touch wood*).
I was just kinda sad for Pellegrini yesterday, he seems like a very decent person.

Chelsea is not that little any longer

Ah, so I guess you didn't hear the news http://www.dailymail.co.uk/spo…ster-City-title-race.html And now read the tale again Oh, the irony.

Quote from bella

He created 67 goal situations, the most from the players from the top five European leagues.

U sure? Guess this might be some new stat, Ozil was top of that list till recently.

Quote from bella

Mou is building the team to win the title next season. Because this season we have no chances at all. Yeah right

Exactly, you're just a poor little club fighting against all these adversities

Pretty much sure, yup

Damn, Mesut's on 65 now. Guess that's just one game still a ridiculous amount considering it's his first season. That's why I was so impressed.

Heart screams Arsenal, head says Chelsea. And maybe this is not exactly the most popular opinion, but unless we both really, and I mean really balls up (or some new injuries hit the Gunners, which is very likely), I can't see Man City in the top 2.

I could sense we were due a trashing, but this is fucking embarrassing. We're not winning shit this season. Not unless Wenger finally learns some tactics.

But what, for heavens', did Gunners I've no idea Even Szczęsny wrote on his fb account that it was embarrassing. Even though he had a lot of mishaps I'm pretty sure these 5 goals weren't only the result of unfortunate interventions... Where the hell were the defenders?? I don't know if I want to watch the repetition of this massacre. Gosh, and it wasn't even Suarez. He didn't score, didn't bite anyone... What happened then?

We got outscored, outrun, outmuscled, outwitted, out- everything. We lost the first goal too quickly (first minute!) and never recovered. The moment Liverpool scored our whole tactical approach went to the gutter, as we currently seem to have no actual plan B because of the numerous injuries/Flamini's stupid suspension. It was 4:0 after 20 minutes, for crying out loud! But I guess that's what you get for starting the matches slowly. Gotta admit, it was well and fully deserved and that's why I said I expected this to happen sooner or later. The only two people who bothered to actually turn up for the match performance-wise were Szczesny and Ox. Wilshere fought very, very hard for the team, but it didn't really matter, as at the same time he was leaving our defense horribly exposed. Ozil got sarcastic cheers from our own away fans while he was being substituted, that's how bad it all was. The rest I'm not gonna even mention. Basically the whole team + Wenger looked clueless and resigned.
I really do hope something will be done about it till Wednesday. I mean, Wenger is still a smart guy. And we absolutely cannot afford to lose another match.

At least the crowd had fun: http://www.giflike.com/a/8CgajGp

Anyways, I feel a bit better now. Oli's photoshoot footage from this morning effectively cheered me up, if you know what I mean

Remember when I said Mata could be Man United's lifeline? Yeah, forget it

Didn't see that, gimme gimme!

Hey, he's playing for not so long on Old Trafford! He can't save red asses alone while the whole team plays shitty actually from the very beginning of the season.

Easy, that was not a dig at Mata I actually really like him and I understand why he decided to move there. But it's just kind of funny how with this particular transfer United tried to emulate the exact same thing Arsene did with Ozil. And I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they expected a similar result (I was kinda wary of it as well, to be honest). But nope, not this time folks. You actually need quality and motivated players for that trick to work. That team needs a hell of a lot of rebuilding before they start playing watchable football again.
