players like walcott and iwobi have no business constantly being rewarded for abject performances.

just....just pathetic. some of that defending, i mean holding and mert helped win us the cup with a world class performance last may but my god it was embarrassing tonight, it was like they were pretending to defend but they were shit scared of making any challenge whatsoever.

Clearly kicked the ball twice as everybody in the vicinity except the referee could see, but don’t let it distract from the reality that they were two goals better than us.

One day I’ll be able to look back on footage of Mertesacker playing and chuckle. It’s like playing a 70-year old at CB.

And Rob Holding is diabolical. He’s not just a bit naive or inexperienced, he’s a walking disaster who makes fundamental errors for fun

You have to think that you get what you deserve when you are paying to contribute to the running/funding of the club that's riddled with the Kronke/Wenger cancer,

FFS shame this didn't happen last year when the c u n t's contract was nearly up. Would not winning the cup have made any difference or would the company have spun something else as a reason to keep him on? Who knows but he was on the edge this time last year before the cup run.

Don't knock the kids I thought willock, Maitland-niles and Nelson were our better players. They need to shoot more often.
The rest well... shambles. Conceding another 2 penalties, Ospina no better than Cech but again rash challenges in the box cost us.
It is the end for this senior squad of players. Walcott, Welbeck, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Ospina, Elneny need to go. Add Ramsey and Monreal to that list.

Our run in this competition had to come to an end in a spectacular way and it did. Well done Forest, they played a good game.

Stopped going in November 2015, so glad I made that decision now, total waste of time, money, emotion and effort, I think the club might be in for a rude awakening come ST renewal time if Wenger is still here for next season, remember the waiting list (what is left of it) is not an obligation to buy a ST, I can't see many taking up the chance if something big doesn't change.

Still I expect more price cuts next season because that is all they have to offer, personally even if it was £500 I would still decline.. :roll:

Maitland-Niles looks decent but Wilock and Nelson look light-weight. To be honest once Sanchez and Ozil leave there is no one left that I really care if they stay or go, they are all above average at best and most are average.

Elneny - Crap, Mertesacker - Fucking crap, Walcott - Fucking crap, Iwobi - Fucking Crap. The kids tried their best but when the so-called senior squad players show no balls what do you expect.

AW an arrogant old man, who didn't do his homework on Forest and got well and truly spit roasted.

And it didn't really matter in the end because our limp-dicked wankers didn't score again anyway,yeah it just seems like its excuses and clutching at straws after more and more inept lame performances now,there's always an excuse now,I don't ever remember GG coming out after games bitching about ***** decisions

Exactly what I was thinking. He slips as he kicks it so any double touch is purely accidental.
The fact we are making so much fuss about it is embarassing. :oops:

I’m not using it as an excuse but there were definitely two touches. His left foot went around the ball so was going right of goal until it hit his sliding foot
