Arsene XI + ref versus Mighty Clarets

[Corky]

I'm more annoyed that we now have a -2 GD

[Bin Ont Turf]

I wouldn't say that there's been a lack of effort (before 4-0) but the defending and our speed of play when we have had the ball and decision making has been sh1te.

Lucky that hit the bar ........ Now their's an idea. Me too

[joey13]

This site has surpassed itself today

Let’s all celebrate getting hammered 5-0

[starting_11]

Nice to see Andre observes the mercy rule.

Give him a few bonus points on rate the ref!

[CaptainKirk]

So why sign him?

[Devils_Advocate]

Cos we were desperate for a striker with pace and he was cheap and available.

[Tall Paul]

I'm more annoyed that we now have a -2 GD

Why?

[FCBurnley]

No added time . Ref blew dead on 90 mins thank god but there were 5 substitutions so how does that work. Dont think we made one tackle. Would have expected more effort in a pre season friendly.

[Culmclaret]

who's celebrating? That doesn't mean we have to turn on players who have been brilliant to a man for a whole season. They are dog tired, some will be carrying injuries and there is absolutely nothing on the game for us.

[SussexDon1inIreland]

good job the whingers on here don't go to matches and keep cheering our lads on like those at Arsenal today

[Bin Ont Turf]

and there is absolutely nothing on the game for us.

B0llocks

Good following today?

[Culmclaret]

Perhaps BOT will tell me precisely what was resting on this game given Arsenal's last two fixtures.

Are you a time traveller?

[Milltown1882]

Everyone just going to ignore the fact that Arsenal were absolutely outstanding today?

[dermotdermot]

Nakki gets 6 minutes, brilliant

He got one minute, twenty eight seconds.

Bit like Arsenal then

[Espia]

Poor lads. Obviously a bit tired.

Weren’t cheering when Arsenal scored or when they were singing there’s only one Arsene Wenger

[Stan Tastic]

Performed like true gentlemen today, giving Arsene the send-off he deserved.

[Espia]

Poor lads. Obviously a bit tired.

Sorry, don't really buy in to that theory. Outclassed I can buy into. But shameful if a case of them not being arsed about. Given the cost and effort of Burnley fans making the long trip.

[wilks_bfc]

He got one minute, twenty eight seconds.

Maybe he, like the rest of us, was expecting some additional time

[KRBFC]

I agree the ones who went today are the real victims in all of this, imagine taking your 2/3 kids along with you, an expensive waste of time. You can't really ever question the commitment of a Dyche side but today you could, several players really didn't give a f**k. Unacceptable

[Stan Tastic]

Maybe he, like the rest of us, was expecting some additional time

If only the refs in the previous three meetings hadn't bothered with any injury-time.

[scouseclaret]

To be fair to the players, having set up an early start to next season, they probably felt justified calling an early end to this one.

[califclaret]

Referee on our side today, with added time could be 6-0 or even 7-0.

[IanMcL]

One of those days, when Arsenal were determined to win well as a send off.

We are not suited to heat! Too hot for our style.

We had some chances.

Time to bury it and regain outer positive GD next week.

Up the Clarets.
