Wenger: I can't believe it
-
Arsene Wenger could not believe that Arsenal lost 1-0 at home to West Ham United.
Bobby Zamora's lob in first-half injury-time condemned The Gunners to a first defeat at Emirates Stadium.
But Zamora's goal was out of context with the rest of the game as Arsenal dominated for long spells, only to be denied by the woodwork twice and also a string of saves from Robert Green.
Wenger was happy with his team's overall performance, but was left to rue another game in which his players missed several opportunities.
"It's unbelievable," Wenger told the website. "I think we created at least 10 chances today - not half-chances, but clear-cut chances.
"It's difficult to understand.
"It was one-way traffic from the first to the last minute. I feel everything went against us.
"The fact we missed early chances meant there was always more pressure on the next one who had the chance.
"In the end I couldn't believe that nobody could put the ball in the net."
There was also a question mark over whether Zamora was offside for the winning goal, with Wenger reluctant to commit himself on the issue.
He added: "I thought from the outside it looked offside, but I haven't seen it again yet on the video." -
1st loss at the Emirates... History making Hammers...
Gunners Hammered. -
i haven't seen it..
hammers are the only team to do the double over gunners.
-
super impressive.. they beat Man U at home too
-
west ham really alot like liverpool
beat all the tough teams, lose to the easy teams. -
-
This is the worse season Wenger had for 10yr incharge.
-
arsenal are only 2 points above bolton though with a game in hand.
-
let me close my eyes and hope that it's all a nightmare.
if I had my way, I would have given the whole team a spanking. No drive, no balls to even push their way through the midfield, no hard tackling in midfield.
This is not a ballet. It's football. You cannot play pretty against West Ham when the close control isn't there. When Aliadiere was the most incisive player last night, you know the bloody squad is playing like fcuk all.

the only thing they couldn't do was score..
but anyway, relegation battlers are always hard to play against towards the end..
the easiest one are those in mid table with no aim.. -
I hope this time they REALLY REALLY train their finishing. and the first lost at emirates against west ham..its disgraceful
