board and wenger get a lot of stick for many things, but tying down 6 british players this month should be commended.

Who on earth says this? It's not the players fault for being unprepared, and it's certainly not my fault for them not being unprepared. It's the fans fault for having too high of an expectation level. The man has completely lost the plot. And some fans dont understand the criticism and the personal remarks aimed at Wenger - the guy has ZERO respect for the fans, none. The only voice he is hearing is the one of an old, stubborn, completely out of touch man who once was a great manager. Now, for me personally, I have lost the respect and that admiration of that great manager, a man who was a visionary...once you start blaming someone else, you are finished. I think fans who continue to support him are deluded...as an addictions counselor its liken to the heroin addict continuing to use knowing the devastation hes causing himself...Wenger supporters do the same but the difference is the addicts understand what the damage that drug is doing. Wenger supporters not so much.
capello said something similar during his time as england boss didn't he?

however i think he has a point, 60,000 people screaming abuse at you can be off-putting espcially if you are off form. however, take wednesday for example, less crowd there but a more vocal one and a less agressive one, and it seemed better, the players responded to it. im not saying we cant moan, but when at a game, surely it benefits everyone more to cheer and shout for them for 90 minutes, then moan.
lets take ramsey for example, if he misses a chance, most of the crowd call him a **** and tell him to fuck off. if cazorla misses a chance, the crowd sing his name. surely taht cant help, that affects his performance
60,000 people screaming?
At the Emirates?

Its part of what they signed up for when they signed these million dollar contracts. You want to collect that cheque from the fans DEAL with it, take on ownership for the results instead of passing the buck off on the people who pay your fucking salary.Quote:
