7 Points from a Champion's League spot. Oh dear. We're running out of time :(

Provided we win against Sunderland today, tha'll be only 4 points and Villa still have to play ManU and Liverpool, games i dont see them winning. So at least dropping 4 points. Plus they're bound to slip up to some teams lower down the table, at least i hope. So as long as we dont mess up, there is still time:D
 
why for the love of god couldn't we play Arshavin, Eboue and drop Song or Denilson. YOu also doubt that Wenger will play Bendtner behind RVP although he did play Bendtner further back than RVP towards the end of the Cardiff game and it worked great.

WE've changed EVERYONE in the squad throughout the year and the one constant has been Denilson being a damn awful, Song has rarely been dropped since Fabregas got injured and again Wenger changes everyone except those two with no real change to how easily we get over run in defence due to no cover at all. At least this isn't against a top table side but seriously, when will Wenger realise both of those two are completely inept in the positions he plays them.

Villa deserved something from the game but yet again heskey did more to hinder than help, useless running mostly useless headers, horrible on the ball. Milner again with almost every single cross completely useless, everyone high, slow and easy for the keeper, kept making mistakes and see's far to much of the ball. Had they started with Carew/gabby they'd probably of ended up winning.

I do wonder how much of who was better in either half was purely down to the low spring sun right in the eyes of the players. Everyone sucked going towards the same end then Chelsea improved late in the game as the sun moved behind the stand.

Errm, Arsenal have without question the hardest run in of games in the final stage of the season. PRe-season when the fixtures were announced everyone said we had a ridiculously easy start and a ludicrously tough end to the season, which makes our position even more precarious than it seems.

Song is the biggest liability at any club in the prem, look how different City have been since they got de Jong in and were able to shift Zabeleta out of defence, he's been pretty fantastic for a guy whose barely played. Theres one key thing a DM needs to do, track midfield runners into the box and be between the ball and the goal. Song does neither of those, ever, he's constantly on the wrong side of the ball chasing the game and giving needless fouls away with little clips to the ankles, in some massive game he'll give away a freekick or penalty or get a redcard and ruin our season. Denilson does the same, the other problem is both are slow as anything so can't get back once they are passed, while Eboue is one of our fastest players and the few times he's played DM we looked 3000% more secure at the back.

Arshavin looks like he wants a goal already though, couple bright sparks, but the thing is, we have wingers and attacking midfielders up the ying yang, we score as much as the league leaders, we need a change defensively and the only change we haven't made is Song/Denilson being dropped. We've dropped gallas, Toure, Sagna and Clichy have missed a few games injured, no change, the only change we haven't made, is the one we need to. 25 goals conceded to Man U's 10(as of maybe 2 games ago), the problem isn't offence.

Jesus, Arshavin has a shot on him, same thing applies though, its great to have him, but it doesn't change our hopeless central midfield.

Why, given all the games available, would the beeb chose Stoke vs Portsmouth for radio commentary? I mean, really. Stoke. Portsmouth. Just the idea of the fixture reeks of direness.

Saying Song will get a red card which will ruin our season makes **** all sense when you suggest replacing him with a player who actually got himself a red card for being stupid.

Eboue mildly kicked out after being hacked a LOT in a game and just having been upended. Song just trips people because they get past him and people get past him constantly as he's completely hopeless. he does that every game constantly without fail, he just runs up and shoves people over with no attempt at the ball, trips, barges, jumps into people with little effort to win the ball. Then again Marcherano gets away with it constantly, as does Barton and others, DM's seem to get leeway other players don't.


West ham are getting spanked, dodgey stream, did Upson just get sent off?
