Horrific officiating in the last 10 or so minutes of that Dortmund-Malaga game. Eliseu was (marginally) offside before needlessly tapping in Baptisa's goal bound shot, four Dortmund players offside when the ball was launched into the box for their third before Santana was also off before scoring...

To start with, I think a shake-up is board level is needed. Bring in some fresh faces, because with fresh faces comes new ideas and that can't be a bad thing. Also, whilst on the topic of behind the scenes work, additional work on commercial income because we lag so much on the clubs around us...

The thing I feel most sorry for Wenger about - he is forever taking hits to take the board out of the firing line but at no stage do they do anything to take some heat of him. They know they have a great man in the job because he won't do anything to harm the club, even if his reputation is...

Chuba Akpom has scored a first half double against United for the Under-21s. Fabianski is making his return to football as well.

I have a feeling we are going to make it to Wembley. Hopefully the luck of the draw goes our way and most of the other big teams are out of the way by then.

Pulis: "What they've spent [Arsenal] & what we've spent and where they've come from and where we've come from, it's not a level playing field"Um, ok?

Come on now, he isn't that sort of player. I'm sure Koscielny was at fault.

I suspect only one change was made because in the last 20-25 minutes it would of been tough to take someone off and risk disrupting the momentum we had.

He was due in Newcastle today for a medical but never showed. Some say it's due to the weather while others are saying Arsenal's late interest has seen him hold off.Newcastle United £7m target Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa fails to appear at club for medical as fans' fears increase - Telegraph

While most of your points are very valid, the 'selling club' and 'let Nasri, van Persie and Fabregas go' isn't/wasn't all Wengers fault. Nasri and van Persie in particular the board over-ruled his decision to let them go for free. And you mention offering Walcott 100k, if Wenger had allowed him...

Wilshere is pretty much Arsenal FC right now.

We haven't been interested in him for months now. Wenger wasn't willing to take him on with all his attitude issues and obviously no one else is that keen on him if he stock has dropped so low that QPR have a chance at signing him.

It was a red by the rule book but I hate that rule so much. It punishes teams too heavily, especially if the penalty is converted. Was nice to Wenger was honest in his post-match presser and didn't complain about the penalty or the red and said we weren't good enough on the goals.

Koscielny was our best, and one of the leagues best, CB last season and Mertesacker has been our best this season.
