Cheers to Wigan Athletic!

Folks, that's a football club.

Class permeates always

They were leviathans tonight and deserved more

On our end, pathetic football. Win doesn't mask the fact that somewhere between Christmas and now our squad lost their balls

What kind of football is this?

So after a month of the most putrid football I've seen in ages, the long ball philosophy was supposed to be our answer? What else do you call the pathetic spectacle that was our first half?

I felt dirty winning this match. Our losers don't deserve it. If anything, I realized today that playing for arsenal means nothing to them. Absolute zero.

Sorry.

In American terms, it took us penalty kicks to beat a division 2 team today. This is my lowest point as an Arsenal fan. Unacceptable. Pathetic.

We are a world class football club. We cannot tolerate this caliber of football at our club any longer.

I wish Wigan won. Our boys don't deserve to celebrate this win.

Ike. I'm in. I get it.

An embarrassed Gooner.

It was the worst game of football I think I've ever seen. Can't believe how emotionally detatched I felt the whole game - even when it got to penalties.

The atmosphere was fizzing and the ore-match drink with the Wiganers in Watsons Folly was a craic. US Gooner, I agree that the footie wasn't pretty but we got the best result today. We went through and set up a great last day of the season. At the same time, even Le Prof would have been convinced that the cheque book has come out. To call it your lowest point as a Gooner is a bit much though. You clearly weren't around in the 80s when we were truly pump! I remember when Stewart Robson was considered out 'flair' player. We need a right back, centre mid and a couple of strikers with pace and rod ourselves of Sagna (can't cross), Arteta (legs have gone), Bendtner and we're there. We need also to lose the tippy tappy football experiment. When it works it looks lovely but it takes 6-7 players to make it work and allows teams to counter at will. And with Arteta and The BFG we don't have the pace to cope. Now the BFG should stay but we need pace and power back through the heart of this team. I want a team that looks at the other one in the tunnel and thinks if you (1) play footie against us you're in trouble; and (2) fight us and you're also in trouble! We'll know in July whether Arsenal have finally got the message! But, to finish up - sorry fellas. Well done Wigan; great game. She wore, she wore, she wore a yellow ribbon, she wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of May.COYG!

I was around in the 80s

We did not field this many so called "world class" players either
