Is there a worse sight in football than Theo with the ball at his feet and running at a defender? You know it's gonna end badly, he overruns it, the ball is with the opposition and Theo on the ground.

There will be no savaging of Wanker tonight. The media line will be about Sutton "holding their heads high" and Arsenal "getting the job done". Wanker will praise the "speeerit". :banghead:

Well it's been confirmed that Walcott is indeed shit on every level (even non-league :roll: ) :oops: :oops: :oops:

I have too say though, that I still fail to see what iwobi brings to the party - some fans raved about him when he broke into the team, but I couldn't see a whole lot to him, and if anything I would say that he has regressed since then :o

I thought that holding did well tonight, and I thought that xhaka controlled the game in midfield, but again it was with the introduction of the ox that helped our game go up a level - I know that sometimes his end product isn't good enough, but he brings much needed pace, energy and directness to our game, and his vision for the passes tonight was excellent 8)

Ox needs games in that position, he can see a forward pass, although needs to see the simple passes too, and he will get better.
Got to say thought their no.6 had everything our CB's haven't got. Sign him up, get him fit and he'd bring some passion in that defence.

He had great vision to pick out the Bayern player on the edge of our own box on Wednesday.

One of the biggest criticisms of him out wide is that he can't sense danger and doesn't track back. That's exposed even more playing in PL because he just gives the ball away in dangerous passes playing needless casual passes.

If we actually had the sort of quality CMs we should do instead of an endless queue of average players like Ramsey, Coquelin, Elneny, Xhaka etc then nobody would be talking about trying to cram him in there.

More abuse towards Wenger as he got on the coach.
Gazidis got targeted too with "spend some fucking money" shouted at him

Dont know if it got picked up on TV but Wenger also had a bottle thrown at him in injury time which shook him up

Crazy night!

Dull game which we should be winning by more but as often we are too slow and ponderous in our build up. Job done all you can say really.

Monreal looks well past it these days and should be moved on with Wenger in the summer, Iwobi looks over-hyped, Perez should be in the first team or certainly more often he should be but I doubt it as Wenger loves Iwobi and Walcott too much, probably because he thinks 'he made them', pathetic..

Walcott poncing around with the Captian's armband on was an insult to all Arsenal supporters !!. He is probably everything a team captain should NOT be. Where was our pennant for Sutton on such a big day for them ??. Didn't see many shirt swapping after the game. Maybe that sums up what their players thought of ours !. Very average performance & lucky we were not playing a championship side today :barscarf: :barscarf:
