Up the Arse! Goons Thread

Wenger:

"Look, it's never enough," he replied when asked if winning a hat trick of FA Cups would satisfy himself or the fans.

"As long as you don't win everything it's never enough. When we didn't win anything they said you didn't even win the FA Cup.

"People always wants more, which is normal and it's what we want as well. If you look at the history of Arsenal we are a club who's won it [the FA Cup] more than anybody else.

Wenger taking another subtle dig at the fans. Happened a couple of times in the past 1-2 weeks. Essentially it's just cringeworthy and ugly words from a man who knows his team can't handle the heat. It's more disappointing than anything else.

You can't dispute how well he has done in the FA Cup, especially lately. But the deflection and lack of accountability regarding our diabolical EPL campaign is just weak and disappointing.

I fear we'll go all out tonight squad-wise - Wenger knows that losing tonight means a trophy-less season and that he can no longer use the cup as an out for our league and UCL failures. It'll be somewhat amusing to see the reaction if we do get knocked out at home, especially with a rampant Barcelona only 3-4 days away.

Arse 3 Watford 0

 

[windyhill]

They've stopped scoring Watford

 

[Latro]

I really hope we smash Watford so I can tease my Watford supporting mate for weeks.

Interestingly i didn't interpret that as a dig at the fans.

I hope we go all out in the squad tonight!

You'd think so, Ozil and Sanchez were rested during the week so they should be straight back in for this and Barca.

Hopefully Campbell on the right with Coq and Elneny in the middle. I'm guessing:

Ospina
Bellerin Mertesacker Chambers Gibbs
Elneny Coq
Campbell Ozil Sanchez
Giroud

 

[Shoei]

The only change to that lineup would be Welbeck starting instead of Giroud.

Yep that's what I was thinking too. Welbeck is interchangeable with Campbell or Giroud.

Now that Giroud has broken his scoring drought, he needs to keep playing to hopefully get some momentum.

[PendlePie]

Happy with Bellerin, Monreal and Kos being rested. Elneny and Coquelin need to develop a solid partnership very quickly and stay fit for the next few weeks.

 

[Cruyff14]

No excuses why we shouldn't be winning.

Happy to see Campbell starting too.

Plenty of pace on the bench with Danny and Theo as well.

 

[elhadjihenry]

Strong up front with a weakened defence, will be goals in this game for sure.

Arsenal 4 - 1 Watford

 

[Shoei]

Chambers on the right......interesting.

 

[Benno_900]

Pantilimon MOTM

 

[Shoei]

great play there....Giroud a bee's dick offside.

 

[Shoei]

Going to be interesting to see Ighalo play since he might be someone we'd be looking at

 

[PendlePie]

Alexis really needs to mix it up. Like ffs, just do something other than cutting inside and ignoring overlaps.

 

[PendlePie]

1. Elneny (or similar) not signed in Summer
2. Campbell not played over Ramsey or Walcott, and largely unused in 2016

By far the two biggest errors we've made this season regarding the starting XI.

 

[PendlePie]

Good boy Gabs - no pulled challenges.

 

[Latro]

Good boy Gabs - no pulled challenges.

Should of been red for two footed tackle.

 

[Shoei]

Lucky not to be red tbh.

 

[Shoei]

I just want to watch the game without it being a ****ing slide show.....why is that too much to ****ing ask in 2016?

 

[Shoei]

Gabby going to do a Coq here and get sent off

 

[Latro]

****ing hell

 

[Benno_900]

This back four is ****ing terrible.

All 4 of them are shit.
