Can you imagine paying £2,000 a year to watch that tripe?
I'd have kept it if the atmosphere was any good but it's shocking. No fucker sings.
Arsenal FC is in terminal decline.

I used to recall that the general remit of any Arsenal manager was to challenge for the league champonship and to keep your job you had to win an FA Cup or League Cup as a bare minimum, Wenger has certainly devalued the manager's job at AFC. What's saved Wengers job over the past 7 years the Champions League 3rd and 4th spot, but this season for the first time in a long time Wenger has worthy comeptition in Everton and the spuds and possible oustiders in Swansea and WBA. We used to be the envy of every club, first club to have under floor heating at Highbury, the first club to travel first class on the train whilist the others all went 2nd class, the first club to wear suits to matches!! Don't be fooled, Arsenal are a historic and prestigious club and I can assure you any top class manager would never turn down the offer to manage this once great club. We used to be called the bank of england due to financial the vast resources we had at our disposal, and now Wenger has turned us in to a club that should be happy to finish 4th to play in a competition we have no chance of winning. I don't get it. Oh how I wish we had the old Arsenal back.

On a side note, Swansea are class.
Mini Dortmund.
I see the "tired" excuse has been churned out again. What a load of BS.
Is this the excuse you're using also for saying that swansea are class?
The quality of player in our squad has progressively declined down the years (o hai captain obvious. Still rather that than Captain Vermaelen). But it means when we're in bad form and come across a team like Swansea in good form that there is a good chance we'll get our asses kicked. MOTD highlights showed so many occasions of them virtually playing FIFA Street around some lost children. The quality of player is not there to ensure we're sure to win this sort of game and without the requisite quality it will continue to be a regular struggle when we're in blippy and crisis periods. I can't say I was surprised hearing the result - morefollowed by...yeah, that makes sense really.

With respect, that just isn't true. If you look back over our history, Arsenal have had 2 periods of big success, one in the 30s and the other in the 90s and early noughties.
That apart our success has been patchy. From the 50s to the 80s we won the following:
League Title 1989, 1971, 1953
FA Cup: 1979, 1971, 1950
League Cup: 1987
Fairs Cup: 1970
8 trophies in 40 years. Nothing at all from 1954 to 1969 inclusive.
I don't know how old you are but it's not true to say that the success from '89 onwards is typical of Arsenal's longer history. This sense of entitlement is quite a recent thing and it's partly because of Wenger, we'd do well to remember that before slating him. Yes, he needs to go now but to say he's devalued the manager's job at AFC, I can't agree with that. His record compares favourably with pretty much any other Arsenal manager you could mention.
