Only thing I really bought was the shirts, wanted this Summer's home shirt but put it off until we fixed the squad. Fuck it.Quote:

Got sent an email from the club back when we played WBA at home, spare tickets going for £55. :lol:
WTF, playing CMs' wide, why not buy some wingers that would make sense, absolutely delusional.
I honestly think Wenger is one of the worst managers in football today, maybe not in terms of results but certainly in terms of value for money, entertainment, tactics and ability to fix problem areas in the team, right now I just want him out, without even having to think about who would replace him, this club without a manager would be better than it is with him as manager.
The man has no redeeming qualities at all, he's an embarrassment, but they're all happy after all they have their massive paychecks at the end of every month so why would they care about the state of the team.
I just think they are absolutely coasting on autopilot. The money is rolling in, the results are just about good enough to keep (an albeit shrinking) percentage of the fan base content.Quote:

Part of the problem I'm afraid, the fans that are content and even happy about what's happening and think 4th place is like winning the CL, we saw it last season, they've achieved their goals, lowered expectations so that 4th place is now like winning, this isn't a top club at all, just a business with some people who are seemingly irrationally addicted to the product they sell.Quote:

I think there is still a large section of match going fans who are happy just turn up on a Saturday and watch the team, win or lose its a release from 'real life'. They don't follow the politics of the club all that closely and therefore wont get too wrapped up in it all. I don't see anything changing any time soon.
Quincy, Reyes, Ox... plenty of players with natural ability that we've got next to nothing out of. I've always thought it was a problem with the players. But when I think of the fables he has about knowing about Ronaldo, Ronaldinho.... Pele before they were even born ;) I even doubt he knows how to identify talent from young. He tries to present himself as some sort of all knowing football sage but if he had an inkling of how great these guys could have been, why the heck didn't he sign them? It makes him look bad every time.Quote:

A lot of talent has emerged from Ligue One over the past 5 years, it's the best generation of French players in quite some time yet we haven't picked up any of them, not one!
I'm done with this club, I'm not renewing my membership and will not put a penny into this club until we start competing again.
The guy had a problem beating Pulis and Sam Allardyce FFS!Quote:
