    I feel that if we stay 4 points behind heading into the showdown on the 1st that a win by us could see a huge collapse by Man U. It's a bit much to expect at this point but I can see them getting very frustrated with themselves if they let us hang around. It's shown a few times this season when they weren't having their way so I feel like with all the talk about us letting chances slip, them knowing we're still right at their heels could be a bother.

      Love the Cesc comments and they are very much needed. Hopefully the captain speaking on this will finally make Wenger take a look in the mirror. Cesc may stay one more year but if nothing is done he will be on the first train out to Barcelona and I wouldn't blame him one bit.

      Hell, I wouldn't blame him if the dude wanted to leave this year.

      I will give Arsene the benefit of the doubt one last time, but if he sits on his butt this Summer and we go trophy less one more year. I will be calling for his head and I don't think I will be alone.

        Yep, they still have to play you and Chelsea. Anything can STILL happen. A MUST win against Spurs tonight.

              Wilshere is tired as ****, I believe. He's played over 40 games so far.

              Nasri makes it 2-1 to The Arsenal! Yessssssss. I really wish I was watching this and not stuck at work.

                And that just showed why.

                Easily could have been a red. What a clumsy ****ing tackle.

                  Wilshere on to replace him now. I've never followed a minute by minute update this closely before.

                        Another win turned into a draw. United does not give up leads. We do.

                        If you look at the draws where we were leading, and made them wins, I bet we'd easily win the league this year.

                        Also, enough of Bendtner on the right. It doesn't work. Period.

                          Our defending is just atrocious. 3 times in the second half we were beaten by an easy through ball on the ground through an ENOURMOUS gap between our outside and center backs. First time lead to the penalty, and you'd think we'd learn then, but they did it again leading to Sandro's chance and once more resulting in the cross that Modric would have finished if not for Szcezny's great save. It seems the team is never on the same page defensively and don't understand basic defending principles. It is not surprising at all we concede so much, our entire back four and midfield are defensively inept.

                            The problem is we play our full backs like they're midfielders, having them push all the way up to the opponent's box. This works brilliantly from an offensive standpoint, but when you've got center backs who are shaky in defense, it opens you up to counter attacks and creates defensive gaps. Of course, this might be a different story if we had been blessed with TVM5 this year.

                              Yeah, that is a part of it, but the three times I mentioned, either Sagna or Clichy were back but decided to play right on their outside midfielders shoulder and left the gap. Instead of covering the center of the field and forcing a ball wide and then closing it down, they let the through ball be available. Just stupid things like that don't help our already shaky center backs and young goalie. Does Arsene allot any training time to defending as a team?
