Another game with Dean the ref, another game we've lost unless a miracle happens in the next 3 minutes. Penalty denied because of a wrong offside decision. Other than that we've been poor. No intensity, diaby off the pace.

Hate to say I told you so, but to lose to a l2 club, then at home to a mediocre championship club is nothing more than a disgrace. The team consistently prove they are not up to it and the manager is a joke. Maybe now you realist that wenger has his head in his side and cannot motivate.

Finding a decent manager who can motivate.

As I understand it we could have had one of the best strikers in the world, villa, for £13m but decided not to. We would rather spend £11m on likes of gervinho.

However those reports have been dismissed by the Barcelona official who told Sky Sports: ”In January we will keep Villa and it is important to remember that Barcelona is a club that habitually does not accept offers for star players in January,”

It's no secret that Barcelona are **** to strike transfer deals with. You're on another planet if you think £13m would have done it.

And they prove what??? Who knows whether 11,13,15 or even 18m would have been enough, but the sources above say 15 or 16m, still a great price for a great striker. And who cares if barca said he would not be going, wenger says the same about our players a day before they move.

Regardless of villa, far too many lacklustre performances = manage to blame. It was only a few weeks ago he said he did not need to add to squad, well, can't even score against a championship club at home...

You have such a simplistic outlook on football. But I'm going to stop typing now before I get drawn in to a discussion I can't be bothered to flog to death again.

Funnily enough, despite my moans, I would not bet against us doing a Chelsea this season, and at least getting to the final.

Not at all you mug, I knew all along, I was pulling you on the fact that 'the rags' don't play 'til Monday.
