Football News: Arsenal 'shambolic' 'soft' again against Stoke

Alan Shearer has ruled Arsenal out of any chance of winning the title after their, in his words, shambolic, embarrassing and laughable performance against Stoke City yesterday.

Even Arsene Wenger is finally accepting that they are 'maybe a bit soft', which just begs the question, why hasn't he done anything about it, as they have been soft for years now?

He is even questioning the lack of experience in the team, which again is something that is down to him and his transfer policy.

The worrying thing for Arsenal fans is that this was not the old Pulis brutal bully of a team, the one that used to steamroller Arsenal into submission through pure physicality.

This was a Stoke team that outplayed the Gooners, with Bojan particularly standing out for them as a footballer, not as a brute, but as a bit of quality.

The January window is going to be very important for Wenger, with his chase of Morgan Schneiderlin of Southampton becoming more and more important as the season wears on.
