Big game, big expectations, Arsenal bottle it. Anything new? Absolutely nothing. It's happened regularly throughout this season, so it was a well anticipated loss.
We were hammered, yet again. Arsene got it wrong with his team selection, again. Giroud and Arteta were horrible, yet again. Recognize a particular pattern?
Don't know why he even bothers to play that lamppost (Giroud) upfront anymore. He's shocking. Before the Everton game, I didn't mind having him in our squad for the upcoming seasons. Not anymore though, he's just an absolute embarrassment to this club.
When I watch a player like Suarez, the way he constantly chases dead balls, always anticipating mistakes. Then I rewatch Giroud.. skips around for a few minutes, then throws his hands in the air and grins. Arteta has always showed talent and determination to a certain extent, even if I believe he can't be in our future plans.
It's a shame that such an outstanding legacy will depend on whether we beat Wigan this weekend, but that's what it comes to. Our Fan Base has never, ever been so split and diverse. It's sad because it's extremely evident that Arsene has always given his all for this club.
However, all kings fall, right?
I would like to think that Wenger might have one last season (next season) to buy players of his likings, and we can go out and challenge on all fronts. Nevertheless, my opinion on if Wenger should stay really will depend on whether we win the FA cup.
I still fully expect us to finish in top four, especially considering Everton’s upcoming fixtures. I guess a season where we've finally won a trophy and secured champions league football isn't so bad.
Not much to say, massive weekend coming up. Overall, sad times for us Gooners.

A most mature view. Spot on. We as a fan base can't seem to do what we are supposed to do, "SUPPORT", but whine and pray to get every other player who they really don't know anything about...
Let's forget for a moment the disgraceful lack of faith in a squad who have, let's not forget, beaten Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund away in the last year or so (those games actually took place you know).
Wenger's legacy is unquestionable - the Invincibles, a new Arsenal who play some of the best football any of us have ever, and will ever, see. A fantastic stadium. Class. Seven trophies, possibly more still to come.
Get behind the club. Of course defeats like yesterday's are embarrassing - we're all angry - but the worst thing to do is to turn on the team. This team has shown enough fight and spirit in some of Europe's most difficult venues for us to rule out a lack of mental strength as the cause of our problems. I'm inclined to suggest it is simply a lack of quality without half of our first team - Ozil, Wilshere, Ramsey etc - and that the players know that without them we don't have the pace and ability to trouble the best sides. That's a problem to deal with sure, but how the hell is it Giroud or Arteta's fault?
Also need to look at the injury list and question the medical staff. Too many long-term injuries - what is the cost of these players per game they actually play?
Time for revolution not stagnation. The next manager has a lot of cleaning up to do. Great memories Arsene but time is up.
Completely agree. Giroud needs others to stretch and add the depth to the attack. He also looks a bit jaded in the physical battles which compounds the problem.
Just look at any world class striker and then look at Giroud.
We need to spend this summer, end of story.
We need a world class striker, a world class winger, a world class central defensive midfielder and we need to make sure we have a good alternative for Gibbs and Sagna because Jenkinson has been out of the picture for too long and Monreal is a joke.
We need to reconstruct this team with or without Wenger.
