So the much awaited questions and answers day when I got it wrong, happened last night. I thought the questions would be sanitised but he threw the floor open and really didn’t like what he heard, I really think he thinks he is bigger than this club now.
He starts by saying this ‘At the moment what this team needs is the support of the fans. I must say there is a massive difference between the away fans, who are absolutely fantastic, and the home fans’
So for all of us that go to the ground and sing our brains out, he is saying the away fans are better, how dare you, you pompous arrogant man, how dare you devalue what people like me have contributed to your ridiculous youth policy that clearly isn’t working, how dare you.
Your legacy at this club could be legendary, the way you are going you will be sacked, and that is a tragedy.
All you AKB’s out there, did you hear that, he said you were all shit. He said the away fans were better, he was saying in a round about way that you can not have an opinion and must love the teams he puts out.
Someone said that you should sell Adebayor and that person got applauded, you tell us he is great and has lost his confidence and that is down to us, not supporting him, poor bastard, it must be tough when you earn £80k a week to keep up your spirits. Sucking up to Milan must have sapped your strength.
What planet do you live on, you say that if this experiment doesn’t work in the next two years we can blame you, so what , you want another two years on your huge salary before you are admit you’re wrong?
You then say these players are wanted by all of the elite clubs, well I don’t believe you, who has ever bid for Diaby, Denilson or Song? Really, tell me, who’s team would they get into, no one I know who supports other clubs would have them, we get stuffed by the Mancs and you come back with they are world champions, well they are world champions because they buy decent players, that’s why, and when we played them we were woeful, as someone said last night, they have no bottle and for an Arsenal side , that is a disgrace.
How the owners of this great club keep listening to your bullshit, is beyond me. You are delusional, the law of averages says you’ll win something eventually, Portsmouth won the FA cup last season.
You enter the Carling Cup with no intention to win it, you say it’s to see how good the kids are, Wilshere looked great, Ramsey looked great and Vela looked great, so what do you do, play them? No you keep faith with Denilson and Diaby, and please tell me why you were so pleased when you signed Silvestre, he even worse than Stepanovs, why is that, talented players don’t get a look in and talentless players get games and lose them for us.
I can’t think of one person in world football that thinks you are right, apart from Peter Hill Wood and Ivan Gazidas, there’s a surprise.
You had a chance last night to admit you were wrong and start the recovery process, you let us down and yet again you dissed the fans, shame on you. Shame on Arsenal.
I won’t stop supporting Arsenal because it’s in me, same with most of the suckers that go every week, you though have insulted us once again and now you want another 2 years before you admit you have screwed up, that will make 7 years in a well paid job with nothing to show for it, you really have worked your magic on this board mate.
That’s assuming you win nothing in the next 2 years of course. I’m sorry if there are those out there that think I’m wrong for feeling like this, but when a shareholder offers to put this right by paying off the stadium debt and we are told by the manager his team is good enough, everyone wants them, they do have fight and the fans are shit, I think I have the right to be annoyed.
I watched the Leeds vs Millwall game last night, you should show that to your team, at least both teams showed some fight. And the whole stadium stood up and not one pony arsed steward was there telling them to sit down, I have never experienced an atmosphere like I did against the Mancs in the semi final pasting, the reason it turned negative was because your team and your tactics were shit, don’t blame us, blame yourself.
I have never in my whole life criticised an Arsenal manager like I’m criticising you, I even had some sympathy for George Graham when he got fired, but having said that, you are the first manager in my time that has criticised the fans who pay your wages and I go all the way back to Bertie Mee. Shame on you.
yes the wage bill , wenger might have created a team from peanuts , but the wage structure is overlooked hugely in the equasion !
some things just dont make sense , from the cost of a fans ticket to one of the highest wage bills in the EPL ..YET WE SIT A DISTANT 4th on the ladder. I cannot fathom how certain AKB’s and others can defend such obvious flaws …
Quality is needed . experience is needed .
its like TH14 and van nestle roy ,klose.
they might be old but we need a role model of the highest caliber for nik – vela -theo to learn from ..
its hard to become great when you have no leader on the pitch , no senior to look up too ,
no coaching staff of any caliber ..
oh stu i could go on all day about the flaws at our club ..
it fuckin saddens me !
then people say we are 2 signings off being great , well maybe if one is messi and the other is ronaldo ..
but knowing wenger he will recruit 2 who are injured for 70 % of the season ..
major signings in the summer where bitchslap -Silvestre- nasri .. even nasri had a lengthy lay off , so 70% of the new recruits didn’t play any part of the season . the you have rosicknote and 50% RVP ..
can you see it end any time soon ?
Ethan, tell me about it! The most depressing thing of all is that we can do fuck all about it. We complain and Wenger calls us shit. We say nothing and Wenger will think we are happy with it. Its a lose lose situation and its so irritating!!!
Wenger was asked about the lack of leaders and he responded my saying he doesnt believe in one figure lead, that the whole team takes responsibility of some bullshit like that!
We have no leaders anywhere in the whole squad. AA maybe but he shouldnt be burdned with leading the kids and winning us matches. We need leaders everywhere. Proper leaders not just the older kids pretending to lead!
We have been told about the effect of injuries and bad luck for the last 4 years. How much longer than be used? No more I say. Someone needs to investigate the sick bay staff. Maybe one of them if a manc or spud!
Too many injuries every year. Its a bloody curse!
Bitchslap was even more pointless than Silvestre! Its fucking disgraceful that we have to put up with such shite!
i think it all boils down to weight training .
they need more bulk , i know it goes against wengers old school grain , and the common misconception that bulk creates slow players , but what good are players if they are always injured . we are a passing team anyhow ..
the team dont all need to be like whippets to create chances , they need intelligence .experience ..
well stu nice talking to you ..
lets hope krankie or the russian fronts wenger some money , and he sells some dead timber getting us around 40+ mil this transfer season .
i think wenger should be able to improve the squad with that sort of sum …
Taller, stronger players. Sacrifice some speed for height and weight.
PDT – formerly sack wenger
yes correct muscle protects you from knocks , and our boys are just that , boys ..
ive been a big advocate of this theory for a long time .. bulk them up and do speed training at the same time you will not loose a fucking thing ! !
oh .. apart from a long injury list
Yes ethan sprinters are pretty bulky and it doesnt seem to slow them down.
The Answer starts with U, ends with T, comes from the same place that Bob Beamon’s ancestors came from (suck it up, Myles!) and set 3 world records at Beijing.
PDT too bad Usain is a Manure fan.
I am not sure who Asafa Powell supports. Maybe we could convince him to play for Arsenal lol.
We already have Walcott anways.
I am Jamaican but I dont want Bolt to celebrate in Manchester in about 5 hours or so…He will be in the stands supporting Manure. He met with the team and gave Ronaldo running advice.
I can’t listen to that Cunt and his excuses anymore. Not even sure I am going to bother watching today. Was loking forward to it as I thought we may see the likes of Merida, Vela, Wilshere etc, but no, for some fucked up reason that cunt thinks we want to see Adebarndoor and his team of lazy failing cunts again..
Good Morning,
I can’t remember a game against these two great sides for many a year,when all that is at stake for us is to at the very least compete,hopefully show that the gulf between us is not as great as it appeared a few days ago,and team selection and how the players react will be something I will be particularly looking at.
AW has said he will send out his strongest team,and there are certain players who I will be watching carefully.
Fabianski,has had a torrid time lately and it is not ideal for his next match to be at OT.
Theo,completely taken out of both games against United,I am looking for an improved performance.
Then what could be our trump card,the mighty Arshavin,will he make the difference we are crying out for with his intelligence and clinical shooting.
Hopefully we don’t go there for a draw and play 4-5-1 but on the other hand though a draw would still hand the title to United,it would at least save some face.Be under no illusion,Fergie will go out to win today and put the title to bed in front of the Home support,and I have a feeling it will be achieved,but hopefully we will give a performance that shows the players out there are truly good enough and fully committed to Arsenal though I know that is wishful thinking.
Another team selection is that i believe Ade will start,to put him in the shop window for maybe the last time,though personally I would prefer bedntner to start with RVP.
Silvestre must be dropped and Djorou must be given another chance,and Nasri needs to stamp more authority to his game.
My team would be,
Fabianski,
Sagna
Toure
Djorou
Gibbs,
Nasri,
Song
Cesc
Arshavin
RVP
Bedntner
Walcott.
Though I am sure AW will stick with Ade and have Vela on the bench.

As a Gooner i want to stuff it to ManUre, but i’m so tired of the crap spouted by Wenger about how good this mob of gutless wankers are, bigging them u at every opportunity, well maybe yet another dose of reality is required to put Arsene Wenger firmly in his place, i’m truly hoping from a reaction from this team, a reaction proves the team has something, but i fully expect them to be brushed aside, and i fear a mauling, to be quickly followed by more Wenger bollox about mental strength etc etc…..
DDM
you forgot “Belief”

Hiya Kelsey.
Thanks for that, how on earth could i have forgotten that little gem???
You know, if it increases the chances of a change of direction in the club, i’d take a heavy beating today….
And, i never thought i’d never ever hear myself say something like that about my team, that’d what Arsene and/or the board have reduced me to….
Cracking interview with Arshavin.

Perhaps we could play Theo and Andrey up front today and not hoof the ball up to the big striker at all!
Morning all, so Andre joins the chorus of players saying we need players.
I’m about to post 5 minutes early.

I don’t think i could agree with this more, you should send this to the gaffer, e-mail, letter, And fucking fax to show him what many arsenal fans are really thinking.
