Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[Power n Glory]

I think the flaming torch and pitchforks would be aimed squarely at Wenger and the board in this instance, not the player. No-one would blame him for going and why shouldn't he go to Chelsea? They're not our historic rivals, they've bought their way to the top table but why wouldn't he want to join a successful club?

I dunno. That should be the case but Cesc gets stick for playing for Chelsea despite it be us that rejected a move to bring him back. Before he left most people could understand why he'd want to leave considering the lame League Cup final defeat and Cesc not even being selected for the final.

With RVP, everyone was on side with the player until that open letter. Those guys did a lot more for Arsenal than Sanchez and I can't see him escaping the backlash.

Difference now is far fewer people give a shit, one way or the other. I remember Stapleton was a jaw dropper that had a lasting effect for months. Cole was a kick in the balls but he's such a dislikable shit it wasn't a huge surprise he'd stab us. RvP was a killer, finally reaching his potential and then buggering off - to Utd! To win them a title. That showed a lot really. RvP in a shit team with a good manager could win a title. But under a shit manager even he couldn't swing things enough in our favour. But that's an aside. The main thing is, many more fans were still deeply caught up in the whole Arsenal thing when these players left. Now that we realise this club is all about one man and fuck anyone else, I suppose it doesn't matter who leaves or where they go. It's just a reminder that any hint of progress is illusion, soon to be followed by the stark reality. And we've suffered enough humiliations by now that piling on more has virtually zero net effect. I think a giant MEH is the most suitable backlash to all this.

Nobody in their right minds can begrudge any top player for leaving Arsenal. We are a graveyard for ambitions. No ambitious player wants to spend 5 seasons coming 4th. Unless you are Ramsey, Walcott Giroud. being paid 3 times what you are really worth.

Delusions:.You say Sanchez has done little for us?. My, oh my. Where would we be these last 2 seasons and this without his goals?

Talk about a misrepresentation. I said Cesc and RVP have done a lot more for the club in comparison. I didn't say Sanchez has done little for us. I make the comparison because we have two players that we watched grow as kids to captains, a much deeper connection with the club and fans but that didn't stop fans from turning on them despite knowing that they had to make a hard choice.

If we needed confirmation how little importance is placed on a captain here...

They should have just handed the armband to Gunnersaurus. He has been at the club longer than anyone.

Wenger being indirectly critical of Gazidis and the fans forum held on Sunday

That and the need to change the structures at the club

Poor old Ivan. Has there ever been a more pointless CEO in football than him?
