    should have won. Good game for neutrals. Frustrating as shit for the Arsenal. At least we're still in the hunt for ONE trophy - although I'm not sure how many of us actually believe we can win this one. Hopefully reinforcements coming...

    Gibbs man of the match. Frustrating, but at least we're still in the hunt for a trophy.

    Becoming an Arsenal supporter should come with a warning that it may cause schizophrenia.
    Oh, well at least we did not lose. :)

    I'm tired of seeing Swansea, and Arsenal have them two more times.

    I don't know how Santi is going to finish the season. It doesn't look like he's going to get any rest.

    I don't know why we can't see him. He's our smartest footballer by far.

    EDIT: Of our regulars, I'd rank best and worst football IQs as follows:

    Best:
    1. Rosicky
    2. Cazorla
    3. Sagna

    Worst:
    1. Gervinho
    2. Vermaelen
    3. Gibbs

    Thanks for the insight. I'm guessing Gervinho, Vermaelen and Gibbs each know approximately 100 times more about the game than you do.

    Anyway, am I the only one that thought Szczesny was largely awful today and should have done better on (at least) their second? I'm getting close to giving up on this kid. :(

    Honestly have to say that I'm getting extremely bored with this squad. Tired of the square pegs in round holes, the refusal to adapt to competition, the total lack of energy to start a game, the 3-4 Meaningless touches per player before a pass, the lack of tempo, the absence of vision with execution...it's infuriating and is the sorriest arsenal squad I've seen on a football pitch that I can remember.

    Okay, had to rant...just finished watching on DVR.

    I actually thought they weren't bad today. I mean, did you watch the Soton match? :shrugs:

    I am just tired of seeing it look like only certain players give a damn. I'm sure a number of them do and don't run around like crazy ie JFW, but a bit of shouting of 'come on!' would do nicely. I don't care if it is 1-nil, boring boring Arsenal or 'sexy football', I just want to win damn it.

    I know people say Ramsey slows things down, but how often did Sagna do the same thing?

    You can also play the what if game with the Swans goals(Gibbs with a better header, BFG not going down, Sagna trying to make a challenge, etc...) or finishing chances.

    Right, because that's the comparison I was making.
