There’s no fucking need to apologise, ‘chef. If my blog purely an Arsenal blog, I’d be scratching my head about what to say as well. It’s fucking depressing, and all our talk ends up revolving around the same theme – we need senior players along the spine, and we need to sort out the defence. Everyone can see it, and everyone has said, written, posted, and defecated upon it.

It was evident last season when our title challenge faltered. It was evident in the transfer season when we were linked with player after player. It was evident during this season when a series of great performances would be punctured by a complacent, lazy display. And it’s evident now, when our confidence is down, our players are discouraged, and there’s seemingly no way out of this pit we’ve dug for ourselves.

And yet, the answer’s pretty fucking easy. Dip into that transfer facility, borrow about £30 million, sell Adebayor and buy an new CM, a CB and a GK. Hire a defensively minded coach to oversee the parts of the game Wenger finds repugnant; there’s even an ex-gunner in Keown who’s up to the job. And hire a MD who can manage the transfer negotiations so that Wenger can concentrate on the on-field stuff.

But I’m just regurgitating what everyone else is saying. There’s nothing else to say, because these truths are pretty damn self-evident.

Wenger is a fool. Just wait and see how he is gonna destroy all your hopes. I remember him saying he will buy players that will let all the fans smile and get their hopes raised but he ended up breaking even the little hope they had by selling FLAMIN and Hleb THEN NOT REPLACING THEM,

He was time and again told to stop his arrogance and buy experienced players to help the young players but zero .

What you people are watching is the exact WENGER ATTITUDE FROM HIS ASSEMBLED GROUP OF PLAYERS. Plus the fact that the whole group has no proven leaders, it becomes worse.

Don’t blame any player, everything is revolving around ARSENE WENGER, Buying players, Coaching, Training, Attitude, Desire, Motivation, Team Selections, Substitutions, Disciplining, Wedge Structures.

Wenger in AFC means no more trophies unless he buys proven players no hopeful.

the problem stems from wenger he is far to soft on his players,this has nothing do with experience this has do with fight and determination,arsenal were out fought aginst hull,stoke and now villathere was just no effort, arsenal are not lacking quality at all but what are lacking is fighters and will to win, they dont seam to have a distane losing,i dont believe the problem rests with gallas, he is the one players that has the wright winning attitude but because he came from club who has alllot leaders he only has focus on his own game but now he has been given the capaincy which wa another bad decision by wenger, another bad decision he has made he has not rested fab,he has rested all of the midfielders expect him, but he needs to get alot tougher on his players but he has alot cretaive players but only one realy defensive players in midfield and thats song, you can sell 3 dm and not replace one of them

You sound like how I feel, nevermind lower expectations about this team may be a good thing. My one wish is that some players shut their mouth when they win a match, everytime they start talking about winning the league, just makes them look silly. Win 8 of the next 10 then maybe you can start running your traps.
