It's just Norwich, but I'm so freaking pumped for this game.

Pathetic effort thus far, Szczesny in particular has been awful. I really can't believe they look this bad in a match this important. Totally frustrating to say the least. Hopefully they get it together and rally.Comment

I expect us to come out of the half playing better, but we could be down by 2 or 3 goals at that point.Comment

If the referee saw Benayoun's kick there, we'd be a man down.Comment

The Ox needs to come on, now.Comment

Grant Holt is a wanker.
This is professional time wasting by Norwich.Comment

If ever a draw felt like a loss, this was it. Terrible result.Comment

Horrible defending all game long.Comment

Sell Gibbs. He can't pass and he can't defend.
Also, tell Vermaelen and Koscielny that their first duty is to defend. Sure, getting forward is fun, but now when you have to do it because you wee too stupid to defend for the first 80 minutes.
Then, watch RVP walk out the door and rightfully so because nobody of his talent should be wasting it with us right now.
Lastly, save all the money from the RVP transfer so we can announce another record profit, while other clubs lift another record trophy.Comment

Certainly a bad day. I'll certainly be watching Spurs and Newcastle over the next two weeks and rooting against them. Also be rooting against Chelsea in the Champions League final. Gunners need some help.Comment

Heartfelt and bitter just as it should be. There was absolutely no excuse for this. The center half's were absolutely atrocious, nearly as bad as Szczesny. Ramsey is another one, I've just about had my fill of him too.Comment

I know there was talk of it during CL qualification this year, but perhaps not playing in the Champions League next year wouldn't be the worst thing for this squad. Sure, the club would be devastated that they don't get their money, but maybe it would make some players feel a bit less entitled. Maybe it would make us play hard against lesser teams.
It's all back to mentality again. We do not like to defend, period.
Maybe Pat Rice leaving could be a blessing in disguise, as perhaps bringing in Keown to fill that role and work with the defense could help.
I know he was shaky early on, but Mertesacker would've been huge down this stretch. Koscielny and Vermaelen are great together, but they also both like to run forward. It just doesn't work with this team right now.
Hey, at least we'd have a chance at winning the Europa League.Comment

I just don't see any silver lining in not qualifying for the CL. For a club of Arsenal's stature it's unacceptable.
I still believe Man City will beat Newcastle, we'll win next week to finish 4th, and Bayern will beat Chelsea, but I still feel sick. We had that game won, RVP was pure class as usual, but we defended like a League One side.
And if this is the match that ends our CL dream, it's at least fitting that defense, the one area of the club that's been severely lacking for way too long, is what brought us down.Comment

After our recent form, I'm not confident that we'll be up for the game next week. I think it's far more likely we'll play scared. Especially if Spurs win tomorrow, which they should.Comment
