Match Reaction v Man Utd

This is maybe about mindlessly getting 100% behind the team, even if they end up getting stuffed every week, and religiously showing nothing but total contempt for the senior club officials.

Not entirely. Its just letting the officials know that we are not happy and forcing them to make a responsible decision. I'am not saying we should oppose everything that the board does or say. just put the pressure on them.

Doubt they'll give a shit about mild or orderly objections. Would you if you'd just been handed £100mill and could walk and sit on a beach? Their gravy train arrived already. But maybe they are so vain, if the hostility reaches a certainly intensity (very high I predict) they will bend a little to placate the plebs and save unnecessary embarrassment at dinner parties.

I'am not talking about the nice mild agitation sorts. I agree that it has to be high intensity, how ever the rants and jeers have to be directed at the board and not anyone else. If they think its because Wenger is not doing a Job its for them to make a decision. If the fans shout for a change in manager its easy for them.

Agree with that. It allows the fans to continue to support the team whilst directing fire at those who are ultimately responsible for the mess. Plus I'm betting it would surprise the board no end if we skipped the whole Wenger Out theatre and just went straight for their throats.

So is the general view that we'd rather have Usmanov than Kroenke? Because who else would replace the current board, realistically?

Realistically? Nobody. This board is going nowhere. We have to find a way to force them into paying at least some minor attention to the team. Remind them there's a football side to this football club. That's the best we can hope for. You don't force people like this off a gravy train unless you make them and offer they can't refuse, either in terms of money or violence.

It's half nine and the 8-2 is starting to sink in. 8 fucking 2! A new low in a catalogue of lows. Would have happily settled for spunking away a 4 goal lead for a 4-4, the good old days when things weren't so bad!
