Their road record is shit though. They look unstoppable now, but injuries happen, fatigue sets in and their complete lack of defense can be exposed.

As long as we beat the teams we should, that pretty much means we have to worry about traveling to Chelsea and Liverpool, and hosting Man U and Man City. I think 2nd place, a strong showing in the FA Cup and knocking Man U out of the Champions League would satisfy me.

The Champions League hates us, so forget about advancing. Surviving the Group of Death to face Bayern Munich? Dicks.

Their record on the road was shit, it's gotten better. Pellegrini was parachuted in from La Liga, and he was pretty fucking good in La Liga. He just needed some time to sort out how things would work. I could see City winning absolutely everything.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #52 on:** January 11, 2014, 01:01:09 PM »

Then we need a striker and hope we win out or just win a lot and beat City at The Emirates. 2nd place is only good when you don't fall into it with 2 games left.

The problem with Wenger is he has loads of faith in people. IT's also his best quality. But like. RVP was on the injured list for years, has one stellar season, then leaves for cash. Wenger has faith in Giroud (who is good) but we need someone better than him, who pings goals in like it's going out of fashion. I'm nervous he won't do that.

There was a season where United didn't beat many in the top 4 but did annihilate everyone else to win the league. That's what Arsenal have to aim for, and pray that someone trips up City when they're not expecting it.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #54 on:** January 12, 2014, 12:52:02 PM »

He always stresses a tight knit group, but injuries have really crushed us this year. Walcott played in like 6 games, scored 5 goals and then broke his leg again. Problem is, only 3rd string choices are available now and you run the risk of signing one of them and not getting a top choice in the summer.

We have 4 games left against the Top 4 and Man U. 2 are at home. Gotta beat all the teams not in that group and hope for draws when teams like Chelsea and City play each other.

Oh, and antagonize Luis Suarez into biting someone again, because he is going to crush the record for goals scored in the EPL.

Podolski came on in the 60th minute and tried to show Wenger that he doesn't need to buy a striker. Played very well but got 2 unlucky bounces and didn't score.

Arsenal wins 2-0 after a tough first 40 minutes, but then just poured it on. Liverpool came from behind to tie, so they are now 8 points off the mark. They could be passed by Everton for 4th tomorrow.

If that kid Draxler is healthy, I think you have to go for it. Can't plan for the next 3 years when you can win it all right now.

Linus · « **Reply #56 on:** January 19, 2014, 03:35:35 PM »

I thought draxler wasn't healthy, but then I thought 'Maybe he's being a cunt and refusing to play during negotiations'. If his release is 37 mill, then playing for his team isn't hgoing to bump that up further.

Arsenal sort of ping the ball around and everyone runs after it and triest to catch it, and that tires them out. After about 60 minutes of tight defending, Sidwell just got too tired to chase Cazorla when he was through. Too much space and then boom. The same thing happened last week. If you watch Wenger's subs, they're always around 68th minute. Then you have 1-2 world class runners coming on to play against a defence that's a bit knackered after chasing the other cunts. You can't switch your back line too often, that's how Mertesacker and KOscielny got so good. So either the other manager brings on fresh guys to defend who aren't that used to each other, or they get overrun and their asshole torn open.

I thought Podolski looked good and up for it. He's got an amazing kick, but the way Arsenal play, he's totally not suited to the central role he apparenty wants.

Liverpool are just going for fourth. They've no chance of winning the league, all they want to do is 1: 4th Champions league sport 2: By beating Man United and 3: By beating Everton. Their defence looks shit.

After drawing a crap Southhampton side ON MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY, Arsenal rebounded by beating a more than up to the challenge Crystal Palace 2-0 with yet another injured hero emerging, The Ox. With Chelsea's shock draw last week, they needed to win to not drop anymore easy points. Luckily for them, Chelsea rebounded today and handed those powder blue cunts their first home loss of the season. I didn't check the stats, but probably their first blank sheet of the season as well.

Now, Arsenal is 2 points clear of both Man City and Chelsea. Of course, the next 4 games are fucking evil and will decide over place for the rest of the season.

Saturday is at Liverpool and while they can't play defense for shit, Suarez is the Troof and Sturridge is the best player on most teams. Wednesday we are hosting Man U and holy fuck we must beat Man U. They are healthy and we are essentially The Ghost of Arsenal, but none of that can matter because Fuck Man U.

Then, we play Liverpool again in the FA Cup that Sunday and the cherry on top of the Shit Sundae is hosting Bayern Munich 3 fucking days after that. Anymore injuries, and we lose all 4. That's how depleted we are. This team needs to drink milk.

I want to order my Arsenal scarf, but fear that they will be eliminated from all 3 competitions before it arrives due to my hubris. So, I shall wait.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #58 on:** February 08, 2014, 08:18:58 AM »

Why did I wake up for this? The first goal was not only not worthy of a free kick but ridiculously offsides. I mean, they had two fucking people offsides. That's corrupt World Cup officiating.

The other one was just the best placed header in the history of the sport. I am sure the next 18 will be just as pretty.

We needed some help in January and Arsene wants to wait for the summer. I understand the strategy, but the truth is not even a Champions League placing is guaranteed this season. After today's potential beating and our schedule and injuries, it may even be unlikely.

We can't win a championship unless we are all fit, but that won't happen. I just hope we don't fall to 5th.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #59 on:** February 08, 2014, 08:18:44 PM »

Top 4 is safe. Everton and Spurs aren't making up that much ground in 1/3 of a season. The biggest risk would be ManU saving their season and pulling a Chelsea by winning the Champions League while coming in 6th in the Premier League. That would take away a spot from the Top 4 and make finishing Top 3 vital.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #60 on:** February 08, 2014, 08:30:58 PM »

I incorrectly forgot that even if Chelsea, Liverpool and City pass us, we are still 4th. Still, our next 4 games are brutal and we just aren't playing amazing soccer. Our last 2 big games we were blown out badly and immediately. There is being outplayed and there is being outplayed and giving up after 10 minutes.

Like I said, the first goal was so fucking offsides I am still angry. The second one about 10 minutes later was just a ridiculous header off a corner kick. If you haven't, go see it. He isn't even facing the net and it bends like a Suarez strike into the top corner. Two very bad breaks, but they could've kept their composure and tried to go for a draw or be competitive. Instead, it's 4-0 15 minutes later. No top 4 team should lose this badly, let alone twice and let alone the fucking top group for almost the whole season.

I understand Wenger not splurging on Plan B in January because the summer offers better options, but he conceded the title this year. Walcott was hurt before the window closed, he should've done more.

If we lose to Man U on Wednesday, we are starting to look like we could be in trouble.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #61 on:** February 09, 2014, 02:11:26 PM »

At least Man U drew today against Fulham at home. It sucks to lower your hopes from English Champions to 4th place finish yet again, but fuck United.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #62 on:** February 11, 2014, 07:49:02 PM »

Now Chelsea draws against West Brom? Does anyone want to win the fucking Premier League?

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #63 on:** February 12, 2014, 08:35:11 PM »

We have now come full circle back to "Fucking Arsenal".

I still say they finish 5th.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #64 on:** February 16, 2014, 01:55:59 PM »

Chelsea are out of the FA Cup and now so is Liverpool after Arsenal beat them 2-1. I would say Liverpool were the better side today, but not so much so that this was a shock. Arsenal played some players who haven't logged 876987 hours of field time in the past 5 months, so they were fresher.

Of course, this is terrible news for the Premier League because now Chelsea just has the Champions League to occupy their time aside from England whereas Liverpool just has England and nothing else. Arsenal are still in 3 tournaments. A close loss to Bayern would be disaster, they basically need to lose 9-0 to them so that Arsene sends the waterboy to Germany in place of a real player.

Next up in the FA Cup is a home game against Everton. This may be our best shot at a Trophy, so everyone has to be ready to go. Fuck England, our injuries have made that an impossibility.

Linus · « **Reply #65 on:** February 16, 2014, 04:15:21 PM »

Chelsea I think (I THINK) are going to hit problems. Jose is pissed off with the strikers and him being pissed off is what put the dampeners on his last season with Real. City will annihilate everyone I still think. They were beaten by Chelsea when they were playing a shit player. If Fernandinho plays the rest of the season there are no weak links. Any sub is as good as any other teams first 11. I could see them winning everything they're in for this year.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #66 on:** February 16, 2014, 06:33:32 PM »

How the hell did City go 2 games without scoring?

I am all for playing Pudolski over Giroud on Wednesday. He is tired as hell, been very ineffective for weeks and now has personal issues at home. Shocking that a wealthy soccer player cheated on his wife. Not that Lukas is amazing, but it's a change of pace. If it doesn't work? Oh well. Not very likely to beat Bayern anyway, even with a full squad.

Gotta go all out for the FA Cup, it is our best shot. Home against Everton is winnable, then just 2 more wins needed if I am correct.

Oh yeah, and Liverpool basically played a full squad in this one too. Haha. Not to mention, that while the last tackle on Suarez would warrant a penalty kick 9 times out of 10, the assholes constant flopping made sure the ref didn't call it. They don't want to be seen as foolish and reward his theatrics.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #67 on:** February 18, 2014, 09:50:54 PM »

Man City just lost 2-0 at home in the first leg of the Champions League against Barcelona, so odds are they are going home. Arsenal needs to win or lose 5-0 tomorrow against Bayern Munich so they can concentrate on their other leagues.

Linus · « **Reply #68 on:** February 19, 2014, 09:41:47 AM »

I will be amazingly surprised if Arsenal win. The way Bayern play, Arsenal will be looking for a draw and hoping to score a lucky away goal at the Allianz Arena. I think broadly speaking Arsenal are fucked. When Barcelona were ascendant, they always ended up being eliminated by them. I see no reason to doubt that changing, they're just going to get bummed by a new Best Team In World.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #69 on:** February 19, 2014, 06:53:11 PM »

Nacho Monreal is pure garbage and I am tired of people saying Ozul hasn't been that bad. He hasn't, but he also hasn't played like one of the best players in the world. Fucker misses a penalty kick in the Champions League at home? If it goes in like it should, maybe we pull off a draw or a miracle and win.

Gibbs gets hurt because of course an Arsenal starter goes down. All in all, this is fine. We aren't going to Germany and winning 3-0, so now we don't have to field a real team and can rest starters. They shouldn't even make the flight. Concentrate on England and the FA Cup now.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #70 on:** February 22, 2014, 12:24:21 PM »

Arsenal beat Sunderland 4-1 thanks to a Giroud brace and some fancy ass shit on a 3rd goal. The 2nd goal for Giroud was a gift and I swear he leads the league in that shit.

Chelsea won in the 90th minute thanks to Tim Howard being a cunt and Man City also won 1-0, so hopefully Liverpool loses tomorrow, but they won't and this week will be a draw for everyone.

Ozil was benched, as well he should be for his shit play half the fucking season. Who misses a penalty kick? Arse. Wenger says he will bench him going forward if he doesn't play better and will no longer play a player just because of his reputation. Easier said than done, but I commend him for it.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #71 on:** March 09, 2014, 08:13:56 PM »

Well, after completely fucking off in the English and Champions League, we are moving to the Final 4 in the FA Cup. We face Wigan who shocked Man City on the road today 2-1. None of the Final 3 teams can be overlooked because they made it this far, but Arsenal has no excuse for hoisting a trophy for the first time in 9 years.

They shouldn't even board the plane for Germany tomorrow. Complete waste of time. Worry about the FA Cup and the Top 4.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #72 on:** March 16, 2014, 02:18:49 PM »

Tottenham are filled with bragging cunts who have never won anything and now they have lost all 3 games against Arsenal this year.

Cunts.

6-0 at The Bridge in Wenger's 1,000th game. FA Cup or Bust.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #74 on:** March 22, 2014, 07:33:08 PM »

Has a good team ever had such poor leadership or been as mentally weak as Arsenal? How do you lose 6-0 with the season on the line in a historical match for your manager to a team that you drew earlier in the season? Even if Chelsea is better, and they are, you lose 1-0 or 2-1. 6-0 when the hatch was over after 6 minutes? Just stay the fuck home next time.

I think all fans knew it was FA Cup or bust anyway, this just confirmed it. If they somehow manage to lose that, how long does Wenger have left?
