2014/15 English Premier League

Except for Wenger. He won't ever get fired. Even when his contract was running out, he was the one who said, "it is not yet time, we focus on the football first." The board, and later, Gazidis/Stan, have offered him contracts.

It'll be a real test of our club when he leaves. Although, having seen a lot of overhaul lately (scouting, academy, fitness, etc) I think Gazidis is doing a great job of laying the groundwork, so that when Wenger leaves, he'll only leave a technical vacuum in the first team.

What Arsenal really really really need to change are their fitness and training regime.

Devastated.

[Ferdiad]

Spurs getting ed by some harsh calls.

[snuggans]

red card saturday!


confused as to what was the referee criteria for Azpilicueta's straight red. was it a late foul? sure, but it wasn't particularly violent and he wasn't the last defender nor was it a goal-scoring opportunity. interesting to note is this ref hasn't given a red card in the premier league before.

[Ferdiad]

It was studs up challenge into his ankle, straight red.

[Adar]

Did Diamé grab Flaminis head for the equalizer?

That did not seem legit...

Also, Arsenal seem to be getting short of quality in the midfield. Did not see that happen before this season.

[Ferdiad]

Southampton absolutely battering Sunderland.

[Petrucci]

Southampton absolutely battering Sunderland.

See result again

Smooth game for Chelsea, fearsome Oscar goal and first one for Fabregas.
you FA! Don't show Southampton matches in same time when Chelsea plays!
Brilliant game by Saints. Pelle 2 goals, Tadic 1 goal, 4 assists, total 7 assists ,equal to number of assists of Fabregas.

[Halie Satanus]

We were lucky to snatch the draw.

The ref was terrible.

Campbell and Bellerin worked well together.

[Kawee]

Bellerin was one of the few bright spots for sure.

Foul for sure, but that still doesn't excuse our defending, especially Monreal's.

We are lacking in quality going forward, which is terrifying because we are not short of talent. When Ramsey was fit, we didn't look good. When Ozil was fit, we didn't look good. Today, we had Cazorla, Wilshere, Sanchez, Welbeck, and Ox out there. That's a lot of attacking talent, and you'd think this was a team of Gilberto Silvas playing wide right.

Arsenal have been very boring and frustrating to watch.

The poor defense is poor squad management by Wenger for not having sufficient number. The same excuse cannot be used for us going forward. We have plenty of talent, and Wenger is failing to put it together into a half-decent attacking force.

Chelsea conceded, Mou should resign.

[Basil II the B.S]

Thank god Southampton was supposed to be relegated after selling all their best players...

A team of Gilberto Silva's wouldn't concede two goals against Hull. There's nothing wrong with the quality of the players but there's very little cohesion going forward. When Campbell came on you could see the link up between him and Bellerin strait away. I bet that's two players who play those roles in the reserves and under 21's week in week out while the rest of the (1st) team are chopped and changed every game. Have we even sent out the same starting line up two games in a row yet?!

Same old problem, we dominate games but still concede goals from quick breaks. And Wenger turned down the option to buy Mo Diame for £3m two summers ago...

To me the two most embarrassing things about the Southampton result are:
- I can't even manage to rack up those kind of scorelines on FIFA
- I sold Pelle and Tadic in my first two seasons there in career mode

[Adar]

Caulker was expected to become great under the tutelage of experienced Rio Ferdinand.

But now he seem to be taking hints from Richard Dunne .

[Ferdiad]

I don't know how liverpool are in 5th, they are playing so bad.

[Azog 150]

I am as amazed as you are. We didn't deserve that win today whatsoever- it was a terrible performance. Still, my nerves are severely shredded after those last few minutes. And 5th place doesn't look too shabby at all with all things considered.

[Gatsby]

I really feel dreadfully bad for QPR, I stopped watching at half time but I was shocked it wasn't 1-0 or even 2-1 for them by then. Then of course I read the reports and they've somehow ripped a victory out of the mess.

[Halie Satanus]

Funny thing about that game, if it wasn't for QPR defenders scoring own goals Balotelli would have scored twice..

On the other hand....

[Ishoss]

I honestly think you would have to add two more chances missed if it weren't for Dunne and Caulker yesterday. Not scoring yesterday was criminal.

Jesus we were lucky.
