Both Arsenal and Chelsea have played 18 home games this season.
That’s 36 games.
Now, we can’t really take as read that the Arsenal-Everton draw was a surprise because Everton got a draw at Chelsea as well.
So the only ‘surprise’ in 36 games is the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge in the Bloated League against a bunch of Danish fishermen or something.
Until…….you consider that being the Bloated League this fixture didn’t actually matter!!!!!!!! Chelsea had long since qualified.

So in 36 matches at the two stadiums this season, pretty much every result has gone the way the bookies would have predicted.

Still think the Premiership is all that?

Don’t expect anything other than a home win on Sunday if these 36 games are anything to go by.

Dull isn’t it.
Any response?

Arsenal pretty much go into cruise control at home against those outside the Bore Four, yet get tonked against Chelsea and Man. U.
Arguably the only ‘rogue’ result at the Emirates this season was the Everton draw, until you remember that Everton are the only team to get a point at Chelsea this season!
So the league is, especially if Liverpool pick up a bit, ENTIRELY PREDICTABLE!
AGAIN!

Quick question.
If Liverpool and/or Arsenal do get dislodged from the Bore Four how long will it be before said teams badger UEFA into creating a fifth Champions League place?
I’ll give it the time it takes to boil an egg.

And yeah, this is what being a fan means: deeply hurt by such a defeat but the next win will blow all those bad memory’s away and we will be delighted and jumping around the place with joy…

Still very gutted about yesterdays result almost 24hrs on !!!

It’s all part of Wenger’s plan for long-term sustainability and domination.

Wenger’s plan is by no means perfect, and it has and will continue to have setbacks, so I understand the criticism. But I think you, like so many other angry fans (ahem…Le Grove), are missing the forest for the trees.

and arshavin….lesser said is better…he is playing for self glory in past few games, if he had paased the ball to nasri or fab things might have been different….

it’s the same mistake done by team again again and again, defence is not upto the mark, who’s to blame???financial condn?? no…it’s has to be be wenger’s tactics….

I tend to see what you talking about (as you mentioned Henry), but if you were with Arsenal when Henry joined us, I guess you know Henry wasn’t some “big signing” nor signing him broke any Club record. Also I don’t know did you sow Henry’s first season and half in our shirt.
So what I want to tell you is that diamonds in shape you see them, you never find in nature, than you make them look that way. Diamonds you see on the end were art of craftsman, which, by my humble opinion Wenger is. And I tend to believe, one day someone of this lads you see on pitch will be new Henry (actually isn’t Cesc already new Henry, isn’t RvP new Henry, isn’t Song new Viera, isn’t Vermaelen new Adams). All we need is patience and belief.

PS
Yesterday Vermaelen goal made me feel proud, almost as that we won. Lets enjoy in supporting the greatest team in world.

iam waiting sir…..waiting since henry left….i have a solution if u guys are ready to listen…it may sound ridiculous but atleast a new idea…it contradicts wenger’s philosophy but not the core one….which i respect…

p.s- i am writing ARSENAL in capitals b’coz in my opinion they are a big club.

that’s the spirit..

@tony

u have lost it….”"”The fact is, given the way we play, if we are going to be beaten it is more likely to be 3-0 or 3-1 than 1-0. OK that hurts but it is simply the other side of the coin of the 4-0 and 4-1 wins that we get.”"”…lol..ha ha ha ha…:-p
when did u score 4 against likes of chelsea, utd, i mean top2???

gallas leading the attacking line quite an experience??? :-p
tell u what, with ur screwed analysis, this blog cud be the required laughing fodder for opposition team….

get hold of urself and start chanting financial mantra….

arsenal needs to get over this mentality….if concede 1 – to hell with defence, iam gonna score and eventually concede another and BANG game over….instead ARSENAL shud ensure tht they shud n’t concede another one and in last 5-10 minutes if they still can’t get the equaliser then yeah that kind of tactics is accepted….it’s the same thing that happened at mancity and chelsea….and of course it’s the mistake of D n G group and not wenger’s :-p,..u guys may not need striker but u needed defender desperately…and they don’t come that expensive…here i agree it’s the fault of D n G group b’coz they mindlessly scream for striker instead of a cover for defenders…..b’coz STRIKERS CAN WIN MATCHES BUT IT’S DEFENDERS THAT WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS….sadly wenger’s clueless about it…

I would have my team playing like we normally do for lets say 32 games. But the ones against the other top teams I would change the tactic. MU and Chelsea are the current masters of playing the counter attack so I would not attack them at all.
I just would sit back and let them do the hard work and we do the defending in numbers. I would play for the 0-0 in those games.

But then again this is easy talking from someone like me in my comfortable chair with no responsability at all.

O yes I survived the night some how…;-) (should have kicked him…. )

If this is what we are feeling, imagine what Lord Wenger and our players are feeling. They need our support.

C’mon Gunners!

The gut reactions are all understandable. At least here they are somewhat logical. @Tone — I completely disagree with almost all of your comments above, but I agree that having Gallas leading the line set off my alarm bell, too. We may need to change our tactics against teams with great counter-attacking abilities (this is Walter’s point, I think).

The next game will be the bellweather game of the season. We need a performance. And we need to believe!

Remember it is easy for all of us to comment, judge, and remark on what would have or could have or should have been. But every Sat, Sun, and sometimes Tues-Wed nights Arsenal get the glory and the blame. So keep that feather in your cap every time you do that. Imagine your jobs the evening after a big day if you had to face the “critics”. These young men need to be given the respect first and then the love because the life of a footballer is not easy. Just my opinion.

I think you are an imposter… You start trouble leave and cite false facts. I am on to you. Maybe you are what you write?
