Excellent supporters, ineffective football. Arsenal are not a joke, 3rd place (if we can sustain it, that is) is still better than last season. What is a joke is this situation as a whole. We're playing midgets there against towering defenders and still insisting on crosses into the box. And when a pass comes through that wall of defence, Nasri won't shoot! I think Peter Cech had to defend just 2 shots (Arshavin's and Fab's FK). Other than that it's all possession and no shots on goal, which is massively frustrating to watch as a fan IMO.
Now I'm ready to condemn our season. That's it. We lost 12 points to our biggest rivals, gave 'em 6 each. For the CL I'm not expecting nothing. We cannot keep on being lucky and avoiding Chelsea, United, Inter and Barcelona in the draws forever. One day we will be facing one of them in the quarters or semis and that will be it. I simply can't see us winning the CL with liabilities such as Almunia, Denilson and Clichy (again in poor form).
Just like it had been predicted, Arsenal threw away both FA and Carling Cup and now might end up winning fuck all again. It will be very hard for AW to justify things this time around. In January he knew that RVP would miss the rest of the season, had £40M sitting and didn't use it not even to get someone on loan!
Did he really think that Carlos Vela and a Nick Bendtner returning from injury would be enough? Not only that, he's been sacrificing Andrey Arshavin in a role that clearly isn't his. Add to this that our talented captain is hungry for success and we don't know what can happen in the near future.
I really don't want AW to go, as he makes Arsenal play beautifully. But those things need to be questioned and maybe his ego is really getting in the way.
