Spuds Fans Imploding

[jelgoon]

I feel sorry for the Spuds a bit too. But they fucked up big time this season - drawing at home to Wolves, losing at home to Norwich and hardly winning a game in the run-in. Rednapp isnt as good as he thinks he is.

I had some banter with my Spud mate because he's livid, last night must have been a track wreck of emotions for him. I do sympathise with with the Spuds though, just a little.

I know how he feels.

Football used to be a sport. It used to be fun. There are still moments when it's like that but not that often these days in an era when billionaires can buy clubs and blunder their way to trophies by sheer force of money.

I'm pretty much done with football too. I go to Arsenal because dad wants to and it's pretty much the backbone of our relationship but I pretty much never watch non-Arsenal games these days. The whole 'sport' is rotten to the core.

you've gone from

'Have You Enjoyed This Season? - I kinda have'

to the whole sport is rotten and football sucks, in the space of a week?

i think this season was great and i'm enjoying the variety of football more than ever across the world.

So now that we're all agreed than the league and CL are beyond us (since they are bought and thus debased)

...do the arsenal board deserve some slack if they stick to 3rd spot but do win a domestic cup from time to time?

not only the board but wenger deserve grief for not doing so. one or two cups should not have been out of his reach in the past 7 years, if they were taken more seriously. whether or not that will change whilst he remains with us is to be seen.

Arsenal Arsenal'd it up again, and dirty money won the biggest prizes. Season from hell.

[Kano]

easy way to look at it i think - upon reflection i've enjoyed it, not only the arsenal 3rd spot.

chelsea winning stinks but that's all. enjoyed watching dortmund, monty, swansea, reading, wigan, newcastle and juve all having their journeys through the season too.

I've enjoyed what Arsenal did. There were ups and downs but a 3rd place finish is very creditable given the money other clubs are throwing around and Spurs being 10 points clear of us and us 2-0 down to them and staring down the barrel of a gun. So I've enjoyed that. But watching City and Chelsea sweep the board by throwing stupid money around. That sickens me.In brief: I've enjoyed Arsenal's season but I'm not enjoying the way football overall is going.

You can still find proper football league in Germany, France or Netherlands. EPL has become too predictable ala LaLiga. At this rate, even Italian league looks more entertaining IMO.

I disagree. I think this was the most unpredictable Premiership season I can remember. No team was unbeatable and you had lesser teams like Norwich, Wigan, Swansea and QPR beating the top teams unexpectedly. You also had massive results like Man Utd killing us and then Man City killing them a few weeks later. So, predictable it wasnt.

Yeah but the race for the top spot is too predictable. Unlike in Germany and France, their league champions dont spend half billion euro to buy the league.

My enjoyment of football is directly correlated to Arsenal, I don't mind watching other matches (some can be very entertaining) but as thing stand for us I just don't enjoy it.

The predictability of our seasons is just a bore, it'd be nice if we had that grit and determination Graham sides had, the grit that always gave us a chance of upsetting the odds.

The money other clubs have isn't ruining football for me, it's the attitude of the club that we can't compete so why bother trying. What Chelsea have shown is that you can upset the odds.

Let's be honest here, although they spent a lot when Abrahmovic first arrived, they've not spent anywhere near as much in recent times, in addition their squad was seemingly on it's last legs, but through grit determination and some luck they won the CL.
