FA Cup I Nottingham Forest v Arsenal I 7/1/18 I 4pm GMT | BT Sport

[Sniper Mik]

So, that's it? Our cup runneth over. We've fallen at the first hurdle.

I'm hoping this is an almighty wake up call. Mertesacker, Elneny, Iwobi, Walcott, Welbeck and Akpom all featured today when it's debatable whether they should be at this club.

I'm embarrassed. Ruthlessness is required. Get these jokers out of this great football club and buy some ****ing quality. Show some ambition for the love of God.

There have 10 gazillion wakeup calls before this. The club is in a coma on life support at the moment.

To expect to win the FA Cup for the 4th time in 5 years is unlikely and going out early could have benefits. Then again, I thought the Europa would help our league form with our first 11 rested, ffs.

Chelsea lost 4-2 to a lower league side 3 years ago and went on to win the league, I wonder if the same thing could happen with us?

I see what you did there . We’ll be lucky to make top 6 if we keep leaking goals like Trump leaks tweets.

@redanddread is killing me today.

This forum does make the current state of this club somewhat bearable. Misery loves company I suppose.

Dread to think of what calamity we'll produce against Atletico if we meet them in the EL.

Could be a record defeat in a final.

 

[GDeep™]

PLEASE someone tell me Walcott waved good bye at the end to the fans??????

Hopefully he’s being sold or being put down alongside Atom and Humber.

I’m happy with either.

If Wenger had been on the touchline this wouldn't have happened. We missed his presence.

Is that a heavy dose of irony?

"Why wasnt so and so sacked after losing to so and so"

they say, while these people are forgetting we have a manager that hasnt won the league for over a decade and is bringing the team down and down as the years are going by. You cant even compare the situation because there isnt another manager in the footballing world like that, tells you everything you need to know.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

At this rate even Europa league we won't win with the way we defending we are conceding 2-3 goals a game! That relegation team level its embarrassing and the coaching stuff and the players need to wake up.

 

[redanddread]

And don't kid yourselves thinking that Wenger gets the sack with a loss at Chelsea or with we crash out of the Europa league.

He's in this for the remainder of his contract and might well get a new deal after that.

Board doesn't have the balls to do it either.

No effing way that happens. I'll even bet yah money on that. Arsène would need to win the league next season to get a renewal. Everything's being primed to sever our ties with him as football manager.

 

[SuperGoon]

You back gloating . . . we must have lost.

I'm always around. But we always lose so you have a point.

 

[Dokaka]

Mavropanos must be watching this defending going "Wait, I'm not ready for this?".

Honestly think the attack is equally troubling. You have zero penetration going forward when Özil isn't playing, and even then it doesn't always work.

Chelsea lost that match against Bradford because they were resting players for a league cup semi-final btw

Dread to think of what calamity we'll produce against Atletico if we meet them in the EL.

Don't worry, mate. This side would get smashed by Ostersunds.

 

[Mudi]

Debuchy was terrible.

Why? He didn't make an error (it wasn't a penalty), he made good runs and most importantly, he was the one CROSSING the ball as it seems like Walcott has forget how to do it.

 

[Uncle Good-Advice]

Has he been in a cave somewhere for last few months? Traore's a proper footballer comparing to some of our dross. Which actually was clear to see today.

 

[Hunta]

Sideways Mo put me of football for six months, he might have just done it again.

The worst midfielder we've ever had.

[redanddread]

Good thing Notts Forest didn't heed the squad cost/net spend bulletin!

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

We've conceded four penalties in less than two weeks .
