Take it from me, it’s the older generation!

by & filed under Uncategorized.

As it’s a quiet day, I thought I’d touch on a new subject… Moaning.

Quite often I read about how the new ‘I want it now’ generation are responsible for the pessimism in the ground… this new breed of sports fan who demand the best and nothing but the best, have no time for a little ‘youth project’ in their lives… and vocally make their points known within the stadium. Spoilt brat kids who don’t know they were born… you know the type… kids who didn’t know what it was like to watch football in the eighties… kids who are more interested in their iphones than what’s happening on the football pitch…

Possible nouveau ticket holder after a Nik B miss?

Possible nouveau ticket holder after a Nik B miss?

Well today people… I’m here to battle the young’uns corner!

I’ve sat all over the post in my short 15 year career as an Arsenal regular. West lower, West Upper, North Bank, Corporate Boxes, Orange Quadrant, Club Level… East stand… so on and so forth…

One thing I’ve always noticed is that if there is anyone who is going to moan at a football match, it is quite often someone who was possibly in the stands as a regular in the sixties… it’s quite often a group of long term season ticket holders who’ve always sat together and are never happy with anything… Now this isn’t meant as a disrespectful piece here… all I am pointing out is that the obvious people to blame for groaning and moaning in the stadium are the kids… I put it to you, the season ticket holder to tell me otherwise, but I usually find it’s elder statesmen of stadium doing the moaning!

Like I say, this piece isn’t meant to offend… it’s merely there to ask a question… am I the only one who notices this?!

See you in the comments!

    I really feel that Van De Vaart would be worth a punt. Admittedly it isn’t our most important position, but he’s a very good player going for a reduced price.

    well do we need to reinforce the squad ….

    almunia/fab

    sag/eboue gal/verm/djo/sendy/silv clichy/trar/gibb

    nasri/song/denilson/cesc/rocis/diaby/ramsey/wilshere

    bend/walcott rvp/edu arsh/vela

    so if we need that it has to a GK …we are somewht short of world class quality there …

    are things so desperate now that we’re praying for two fucking nobodies to join us, just to get someone, anyone into the club…………fucking poor, pricks like Chamakh & Matuidi should be playing for Sunderland or West Ham FFS!

    What a loud of rubbish,they are just rehashing old news.
    Where does it say he’s in London.
    Why would Wenger buy him now when he can wait 4 months and get him for free.

    if wenger like chamakh then he obviously aint a nobody and shit

    he is exactly what we need up top

  6. AngeAusArsenal

    Exactly DDM!in reality theres no-one in Wengers price range that he sees as better than what he already has.
    5-10 million doesnt buy much chop these days

  7. dennisdamenace

    I actually never said shit, i said that they should be playing for the likes of West Ham and Sunderland…..we already have enough ifs nuts and maybes in our fucking team, what this team is crying out for is experience, and defensive experience at that. That fact that AW is supposedly chasing this forward just shoes he’s more interested in a bargain basement forward that addressing the problems he himself identified with the team……..fucking nonsense is what this is…..
