Also blames refereeing decisions for the loss against Man United.

He is turning into the new Mourinho, who cant accept his team lost to a better team

He's always been like this. He hasn't turned into anything.

Thought the game was very even ... And Man Utd did get the rub of the green with alot of decisions!!

Howard Webb was at our local pub for a children's presentation night on Friday night ...Top guy!

Like Adebayor's goal ?

The pen probably squared it (though gave us a momentum) , the only bad decision I remember is yellow for Van Persie.

Yep. I think we've been on the wrong end of quite a few poor decisions in recent months, but the refereeing yesterday was fine. Wenger has no right to complain about the decisions yesterday.

I agree - Arsenal have seen some poor decisions go against them, but not yesterday. And most (not all) of those decisions against Arsenal are the sort that are dealt with inconsistently by referees anyway. A couple of them were stonewall wrong decisions though.

And then people complain about yob behaviour and the drunken culture among England's youths.

They where drinking pop ... Howard even gave one of the kids a yellow card for attempting to buy a shandy!

Still, isn't there any other venue in the town/city? I'd hardly want kids in a pub at every possible opportunity, though I guess it doesn't matter too much with all the advertising around.

Pub for kids

Still no trophy...

What trophy could he have won by this point in the year exactly?

Well he could be in the semi's of the League cup at least because the league is pretty much out of reach now.

Ooh, the league cup!

We're still in the champions league and still in the FA cup. I'll start crying when we're out of both of those.

is it?

8 points separate 1st and 5th, with United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Villa all playing each other in coming weeks. I wouldn't say the league is out of reach for any of these sides, it's been a mental season so far and everyone is beating everyone.

Yes.

Not mathematically but Yes.

If we somehow managed to win the league it would be the worst team to have won the EPL in recent history, but boy would it be sweet

Surely after 4 trophyless seasons it's better than nothing.
Plus it'd give you a chance to wank yourselves silly over the youth team even if you started playing more first teamers in the later rounds.

I wouldn't write Arsenal off until I see who they sign, anyone who does is an idiot. If they win their games against the big 4, which they're more than capable of doing, they're right back in it.

Well, if he'd won something last year he could have already won two trophies this year.

I'll hold you to that.

You said this throughout the last two seasons, during which time I constantly wrote Arsenal off.

Who was proven right? I was.

I hereby write Arsenal off, knowing full well Wenger won't sign the players they need.

Its easier to write a team off than it is to write a team on.

People are writing teams off all the time but do you ever hear about people writing teams on? Exactly...

well bully for you, Wenger remains one of the most respected and decorated managers in world football. Meanwhile you can cling to the knowledge that winning an argument on a football forum is the best you can ever aspire to.

Says Glenn, still trying to win the argument on the football forum...

Stoke will win the Premier League this year.

See? It's easy.

It should really be 5 trophyless seasons for Arsenal.

They were completely out played in the FA Cup final, only had one shot on target and i think that was a freekick in extra time.

And Man Utd never, ever, ever get lucky and all the nasty referees are out to get them so they should get extra trophys for being the bestest team in the world ever ever.

United wouldn't have won the Champions League if it hadn't been for Drogba's sending off and penalties. So really United have only won 1 Champions League.
