What gets on my tits is when this deluded man says "one bad week doesnt mean its all doom and gloom"! the guy has been in charge for the last 10 years and has watched collapse after collapse and has made excuse after excuse whole earning 10m a year!
Fans arent stupid, noone is overreacting over a bad week, we have had enough and have seen this happen so many times.
Robert Madley will be the referee.
I think we are in desperate situation where we need to do something to seize this opportunity which is , for me ,our best chance to win the title . We haven't been that closer for ages where it is only up to us to capitalize . It is not only for the fans to do it but the manager and the players as well . We are not doing it for them but for the club we love . Players and managers come and pass but mighty Arsenal will always be there . We don't need them to do the first step before we could do something . Let's do our bit .Quote:

I know what you are saying, genuinely. All you are really saying is let's do the sensible thing that sporting outfits attempting to achieve excellence do. Let's try to get every component, including the fans, firing in unison. I get that and I agree, it would be great if that could happen. But you need to understand, it won't happen under this manager. He's not in the same place as everyone else, he doesn't see the sport, he doesn't see the achievement. He sees red zones and yards covered in the first 10 minutes compared to yards covered in the final 10, he sees the number of minutes played to develop player X, he sees scenarios where if this player is rested now then that player can cover 368 more yards in 14 weeks time - all the while ignoring the likelihood the player will be out injured for the rest of the season by that stage. He does safety, ball control, possession in region Y, pressure in region Z while ignoring the huge gaps in regions A-Y. He does efficiency, multi-purpose, utility. All these things are good if you are a marathon runner on a set course and you opponent can't just come and trip you up. Wenger would prefer it if the opponent would not interfere with his calculations and he's pissed when they do, it offends him. He won't talk to them, he shuns them, they are less than him, their ideas are vulgar compared to the purity he offers. The game should be played his way, always. And he will never change.Quote:

We want 100% effort every time - he wants 73.2% effort because he's calculated that what we need to win by 1 goal. We want to see teams thumped when we go 2 goals up in the first half. He wants to see energy conserved. We want to see a shot, he wants ball retention. And so it goes.
We can cheer but we are cheering calamity and that's a bit strange. Like watching a blockbuster for 10 years without a break - how many times can you cheer when the hero almost saves the day and mean it? We still love the hero but we kind of knew what was going to happen after the first 400 times. So Wenger says, come on fans, where are you? Get behind the team so we can serve up the same ending yet again. Okay, we do it out of loyalty (which isn't returned by the club or players btw) but really, it becomes an effort after all these go-arounds.
Let's not call him that. Ever.Quote:

Strangely, I think we'll scrape a win tonight...but it won't make any difference as we're bottling the league for sure.
