Results but not performance

We all know our squad management is poor.

We have failed to sell on squad players at good sums so I fail to see why the club doesn't let Wenger get the players he needs in first, Squid is our 5th choice CB, who currently is our next choice cos our 4th is at RB, and our 1st at LB, when fit. Despite this we still won't sign a defender and two Prem proved CBs will move this window.

Two years ago today Rosicky scored his last goal for Arsenal.

I remember us signing him before the 2006 World Cup. Then watching him do this. Felt like a kid at Xmas.

f*ck. Makes me sad to see what a player he was. Same can go for Arshavin...Oh, and I miss Eduardo.

Rantover.

Robin's piece in todays Sun.

LET me start by putting the record straight.

I was not having a go at the boss on Sunday — I was just sad to see Alex leave the pitch as he just gave the assist for our only goal.

I was not questioning his judgment — I know it's not my place to challenge what Arsene Wenger does.

He is the boss, he makes the decisions and that's it... end of story.

I have worked with the boss long enough to know there's always a good reason behind his decisions — and there was again on Sunday.

When Arsene makes a decision, it is based on a lot of information that everyone else might not know about and he will never betray.

I admire him so much for that.

As he said after the game, he doesn't have to explain his substitutions to anyone.

He was right to remind everyone that he has been in the job 30 years and made 50,000 substitutions — why on earth should he have to justify each and every one of them?

He has all the information, he knows when a player is carrying a small injury, or has been ill, or is tiring.

Arsene's remarkable success in the game is proof enough that his decisions are made from knowledge and experience.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had a calf injury.

We did not know that but the boss did and brought Andrey Arshavin on.

I have a lot of respect and admiration for Arsene Wenger.

He is one of the best football coaches in the world, with a brilliant record of success here at Arsenal.

I wouldn't be here or the player I am without him.

The manager and I are fine and my relationship with the club is good.

I don't want anyone misunderstanding the situation here for a moment.

There is no problem, there is no conflict and there is no controversy. The boss knows that, I know that, the players all know that.

But it's important the Arsenal fans know that and that people in the game know that.

We are all committed to doing the very best we can to bring success to The Emirates.

We are not giving up on a top-four finish, no way.

Losing to Manchester United was a setback — but it is not a knockout blow.

The way this season is going I think it's pretty safe to say there will be a lot more surprises before the Premier League season is over.

There's plenty of games still left, we have recovered from reverses like this before and we will win again.

So anybody writing us off is making a mistake.

This could still be a good season for us.

We have the FA Cup to look forward to and the Champions League.

We will all be giving 100 per cent to make sure we bring one of those trophies home, hopefully both of them.

Let's all stick together and fight.

lol he should of just stayed quiet about it, don't these man learn silence is the best response.

Hold tight RVP not dropping them I have your back bars:

tArshavin is a quality player

who adds depth and quality to the squad

and at that point in the game he could have provided a moment of magic.

Hung him out to dry nicely
