Welbz. :haha:
Has stealing a living ever been more applicable?
Away wins. :bow:
Premier European competition. :bow:
It's on!
Easy as you like.
Please can we draw someone decent in the next round? These games are rancid.
We're finally progressing past the first knockout round :bow:
Wenger :bow:
We could still go out at the last 16 though. :lol:Quote:

Yeah me too, awful footballer, if Ferguson couldn't make him good noone can, never could shoot, never will be able to. Awful 2nd rate footballer, no surprise we signed him, we love cheap buys.Quote:

Welbeck was shit?
Who knew?
They didn’t call him Danny Wellshit for nothing.
I’m so glad I didn’t listen to everyone nobody who said he was going to be the new Ian Wright.
Wenger on his future: "I have always respected my contracts. I would like to remind you that I said no to all the biggest clubs in the world to respect my contract so that’s always what I try to do" #Arsenal https://t.co/jpjwN6SA3k
:lol: :rose:
The only way he’s leaving here is in a straightjacket.
Despite winning it seemed a rather uninspiring and inept performance to me
He makes it sound like hes done us some great favour by overstaying his welcome by 10 years :lol:Quote:

Héctor Bellerín speaking about @ArsenalFanTV: "I think it's so wrong for someone that claims to be a fan and their success is fed of a failure, so how can that be a fan? So i think they're just people hustling, trying to make money their way." ������ https://t.co/XHpOnzd1Zr
:haha: Bellerin :bow:
Conversely following that logic, if there wasn’t failure to begin with. No one at AFTV would be getting famousQuote:

Lets be honest, no one watches AFTV when we win.
Bellerin is right on this one.
I'm more outraged by that queer hair and earing he has on.
Pretty daft thing to say really. It's an honest living and frankly most of the sentiments on AFTV are echoed throughout the fan base. I personally don't watch it anymore because it's a parody of itself but I don't have anything against those who appear on it, they're the ones travelling to all corners of the globe to support these failures and from the sounds of it they don't often get any appreciation from the players at games.
Football is an emotional game and of course someone losing their shit is going to gain more views. Videos don't viral unless something out of the ordinary happens in them. That's the same for anything in life.
No he’s not. His statement suggests these guys are happier when we loseQuote:

You constantly ask of people if you hate watching us so much why do you. It’s the pathology of a fan
I don’t agree with everything that’s said on here but I don’t have to.
Just taking a quick look at the channel, all of the most viewed post-match videos are following defeats. At least the top 30, I stopped counting there.Quote:

Always find it weird.
What good results?Quote:

Plus let’s be fair. They know good results are ephemeral and never lead to anything apart from Wenger using them to justify prolonging our misery.
I don’t know why I said win. Still early. No clearly it’s going to get more hits after defeat because as I say it’s a contentious issueQuote:

My issue with AFTV is that it really isn’t Arsenal Fan TV. Robbie says it trades of giving fans a voice. When he started it, this is exactly what it did.
Not now though. Where is the fan voice in what has become a parody of a shitshow?
Robbie gives a voice only to the same old same old. All the time. He decided long ago that chasing hits was more important than the reason he started this venture.

EDIT: Chelsea at home in the Hokey Cokey Cup too. Same air of being slightly irritated that we got a bit lucky with the goals,
If you can't enjoy moments like that, even in a crappy season, then what is the point of any of this?

The format is what it is and I can’t blame Robbie for exploiting that
What I don’t believe though is that the anger, frustration and now almost ennui the fans feel is in anyway artificial
I disagree with that. The most popular guys on Arsenal Fan TV get the high numbers. People flock to watch those videos. But there are plenty of new speakers he hands the mic to each week. They're just not popular.Quote:

Maybe that doesn't really matter.

No one wants to watch videos of fans praising players or tactics. You get enough of that from pundits on TV.
AFTV went viral because you got to hear real, candid opinions from lifelong, match going fans. My guess is also that their main demographic is the younger generation who see these guys almost like celebrities.
Bellerin hasn't even been at the club as long as most of the fans who have suffered through the Mad King's last decade. All the fans can do is put up with it. Bellerin could actually do something about it. Instead, he can't be bothered to learn how to cross a ball. So maybe he should get on and do that? Anything he has to say until he gets his own shit sorted out should be treated with the contempt it deserves.
As for the win last night - fuck that. Who cares? If you get down in Wenger's shit and grime you might be able to pull some sort of victory out of Wenger's arsehole. But look at it from even a moderate distance and you can see the following:
- A big club like Arsenal pubbing it out with Swedish nobodies in a nobody cup.
- The spuds and Liverpool, teams we were comfortably superior to, playing in the tournament that was meant to be the be all, end all and has led our club to chasing 4th instead of 1st. A mentality that has destroyed us. We can't even get in that cup any more.
- Arsene Wenger and his small band of profit hungry execs and rather limit and non-committal players getting richer and richer and the club bank balance climbing higher and higher.
So not a pretty picture at all and so far from a cause for celebration it's easily a plane trip back to reality.
Context is everything and only in its absence could you possibly conceive last night's result as being in any way significant.
In the right context - what does any reasonable person expect an operation like AFTV, or any fan group related to Arsenal, to be focused on? The odd win and the odd decent performance? We get what, maybe 3 decent performances a season these days?
I wonder why all the doom and gloom tops the charts then? What a shocking revelation, in light of the shocking reality of the shit state of this club and the incompetent, greedy bastards running it. We should be happy about that?
No. Sorry. What would it say about our fan base if the majority of fans were HAPPY with the shit going on?
People need to be very careful here. The Pro-Wenger, anti-Arsenal lot, with all their holier-than-thou crap about supporting the team when our own fucking owners, execs and the manager won't support the fucking team, are going to ride any sort of success we have in the Tin Pot Cups to try to make a case for their anti-hero Wenger.
Don't fall for it. The only positive thing a fan can do is stay right on Wenger's arse and keep putting the pressure on. Don't let up for a second or this cunt will find a way to slip back in, carried their by the toads and quislings that have fawned over him and kept him at the helm 10 years beyond his dispose of date.
Don't buy into this shit and don't let them question your loyalty to the club or blame you for their fuck ups and their slavish devotion to a prick who never liked them, doesn't respect them and treats them like shit on his shoe. If that lot can't muster any dignity or self respect then why should you pay any heed to a word they have to say.
Ignore them and get on with the positive and necessary task of getting Wenger out.
