getting rid of the manager is not the answer.

That's oversimplifying the situation. It's not just players we need, but to be far better tactically, positionally, stay calm etc.

Wenger cannot go on forever in any case, I really think his time is done. He certainly can't help us improve our results each year. If we're happen to carry on with this mediocrity then fine, stick with him. Otherwise the manager's position is the only change left to make.

and that wont get better until we bring in better payers as its obvious what we have cannot go up another level....still at the same level...we need the world class stars coming in...everyone will play better for it...

wenger can still continue in my book...just needs to up his game....

Wenger's past success wasn't really based on signing world-class stars.

What makes you think he can up his game at his age? Is he willing to compromise in order to improve our chances of success? Recent years suggest no.

Oh we've conceded another penalty. Great.

no your right it was not based on world class stars..but now it has to be...he needs to spend and needs out and out quality...

Wow, this ref...

you got to be fucking joking me!!!!!

But we can't attract these kinds of players due to inability/refusal to play top-tier wages and our lack of progress with which to attract them. We are stale, we don't progress, yet kid ourselves into thinking we can improve at the start of each season.

If we don't spend money then the team has to be taught/coached to be far more streetwise, a little bit like the more negative but successful tactics at the end of last season. Needless to say AW has gone back to a free-for-all tactical set-up this season. We will not progress by doing that.

All we can do is clutch at straws like blaming our luck or blaming the ref.

No need to insult the ref. I said it earlier.

i don't think we're trying to make excuses for a terrible performance, but the ref has been shocking, you really can't argue with that.

It's almost too easy to blame the ref. Most of the work needed to get ourselves in this mess was our own doing.

Of course part of me wants to call him a **** but I'm used to this kind of dross now.

Like I say, change of manager is the only big change left to make. Only those who've only ever known AW as Arsenal manager seem to think no-one else could make a positive change.

lets see the bags of money open...

because this is 100% pathetic....

there is going to be some huge amount of flack for the boss...

we have had all fucking summer to bring players in....

Fella? Oh please.

fans leaving...

and i dont blame them one bit.....

Ah, and there goes our chance to the new invincibles, on the 1st day of the season...

Same fucking old Arsenal, been looking forward for this game, said finally we'll have a better team,new players, a real title challenge... And this fucking game, beaten home by villa, fuck off AFC sucks

We could've had Higuain on the pitch today and we would've still been overconfident and ripped apart by Benteke and Agbonlahor with our defence left very exposed. Money alone can't solve this.

Disappointing return from Koscielny as well. Just when we think we can rely on him as one of our most consistent performers he makes rash decisions in a game like this.

Sagna out for a while, that fall looked horrible! No more CB's.

can this get any worse?
