Fluke Result

It happens. It's happened to better teams than us. Liverpool made us pay for 20 mins of football from Arsenal that should not be tolerated by anyone that has ambitions of winning anything. Let's not kid ourselves that this is a sign of things to come from Arsenal. We all know that Arsenal have played miles better than that all season and I fully expect us to be somewhere near our best again against utd.

Let's also not kid ourselves that this was a "brilliant" performance from Liverpool. No, Liverpool just did what any decent side should do against a team that plays well below par.

The result isn't even as important as what Arsenal do off the back of the result.

Liverpool are not even that good, they just keep luckily running into teams on a bad day, as well as having most referees in their pocket.

Poor analysis. Liverpool were brilliant for 20 mins and completely outplayed us. We started slowly as has become our habit of late and got punished for it.

Wenger needs to do some serious thinking and frank talking to our players. We cannot afford to sleep walk through every first half. We need to be at our best from the first minute .

Who knows what would have happened if we played well seeing that we only fluked 5 goals..

They just need to except with only a foes games left that we are a top team, and can beat anyone.


I can't remember the last time we were hut for 5 or 6 and we have been rubbish for the past few seasons!

I am very dissapointed with the 5-1 result. We should have scored 5 more goals today.
You were rubbish and you have some poor players on you'r books.

Our front four are better than yours without a shadow of doubt.
Sterling made mertewhatever his name is a sunday league football player.

Geoff is never wrong
======================

Ruiney,
Excuse me, but Geoff is an idiot and his fellow Arsenal lemming (Azania) is also an idiot. This Arsenal team is, at best, average. They do not belong in the top four, they struggle against mediocre teams and usually get embarrassed by good teams. There are no "on field" leaders and their manager is past his prime. His claim to fame during the current player signing period was to sign someone who is injured! What a farce. We have needed at least one more competent striker for a long time, and one who is fit enough to play!
Geoff's denial of these facts and his downplaying of Liverpool's performance is like saying that the Titanic would never have sunk if it had not struck that damned iceberg. Nice attempt to write off the first 20 mins. of this game. You and the other Gunner fans that think this way deserve what you will get....probably 6th. place at best. Every team has injuries, other teams seem to be able to plan for them.

This is true. Liverpool also pumped Everton and Tottenham.

'it happens' erm no it doesn't. When was the last time a proper team got whacked like that?

Wenger has no tactics.

Firstly, " I'm sure Ruiney was taking the plss..Geoff is some ridiculous so called "ITK" who always seems to be wrong, but still somehow manages to suck in really thick posters... and by posters I mean, just one, RGK (AKA the plank)

The rest of your article is pretty much spot on Arsenal have been punching above their weight all season ...back to normal now.

RGK...mind the gap!!
