No Way In Hell.

Arsenal 0 Newcastle 1

That was our worst performance in years. Forget West Brom because we had one player perform on that day. But today, there was no one. And Fabregas lead the shit brigade that was this Arsenal team.

They were useless. Couldn't pass. Couldn't shoot. Couldn't defend. Not one Arsenal player did anything of note in the whole game. Our best moment was Walcott hitting the crossbar from an impossible angle, after that there wasn't one decent chance created.

The goal was an indictment of the Arsenal defense. Fabianski comes out when there is no need and the defenders stare with their tongues out as Carroll jumps unmarked and ploughs the ball into the empty net.

Wenger brought on Arshavin and Van Persie to try and save things but the problems we had couldn't be solved with strikers. Our midfield was a joke. Song and Fabregas gave the ball away time and again. Wilshere, god love him, was physically out of his depth and kept quiet throughout. But the worry at the moment is Fabregas. Last week against West Ham he was poor and today he was even worse. Every pass forward he made was wrong. In truth Wenger should have showed some bottle and taken him off. For anyone. Even Djourou would have made a better go of it. He was truely that bad.

I'm not going to pull the wool over anyone's eyes and say:

'It was only one match.'

'We're still in it.'

We're not, it's over, we're out. Unless Chelsea and Manchester United implode, I mean literally collapse inwards, we will not win the league. The most we'll get is third. And even that will be a struggle if Man City find form.

It's a sad moment in our history. We have a team of players more concerned with their next club or their next international friendly than playing for Arsenal. Our players and Wenger failed us today.
