    Well I'm sure you are concerned about the split in the fan base but the general dissuasion was about the bitch slapping going on between the muppets on both sides

    But even on the split I am less than sympathetic, I don't understand the mindset of people who seem satisfied with how things are going. But I'm more curious than angry and like to understand where they are coming from.

    Largely it appears that it's hyperbole vs hyperbole, and people becoming more entrenched in their views to counteract the perceived inflexibility of the opposing argument. And actually if you discuss it with people long enough you find there are more areas of agreement than disagreement. So essentially it is bickering for the sake of bickering.

    I think that's the way the conversation has gone even though that wasn't my original purpose when posting a comment this morning. I just wonder what sort of legacy will Wenger leave behind if this continues. It really defeats the purpose of the new stadium and why I criticise them so heavily. They've mishandled this situation.

    They haven't mishandled it at all, that would suggest it's been handled at all

    The question of Wenger and succession has been totally pushed down the road, because it's not a decision they want to make. They want Wenger to sign a contract because it's easier to stick with what they have rather than make difficult football decisions

    The club is largely as apathetic as the fans, sending stewards from Arsenal to the game is just a way of trying to save themselves hassle.

    But fans have a choice, the absentism at Arsenal has been more effective than any wanky banner or placard, that's what the board will listen to because I think it's clear tourists cannot make up the shortfall.

    I was unconvinced as to its efficacy but actually if maintained I think it is the most effective protest took the fans have.

    You can't blame fans for being spoilt if they don't turn up, it's just a case of fine I'm a paying customer so you don't get my business anymore.

    Even if it doesn't work, you are saving yourself a fair bit of money which otherwise goes to a club that seems to be stockpiling.

    I've always been in favour of a boycott. I don't mind the protests and banners either because it's another way of getting a message across. It doesn't have to be either or in my book.

    There should also be a walk out during the lap of honour imo

    All the players/manager are bottlers

    The Pellegrini one got alot of news and was on the front page of newspapers

    I think the 'banner folks' should just not attend the game this weekend. Let the bitches do their 'lap of honor' in front of Ty and his family.
    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

    I don't think that would be in anyway unreasonable

    Frankly you'd be doing the players a favour though.

    A lap of honour they've let the fans down and it's been a poor season they don't deserve any credit, moreover the manager has been throwing the blame at the fans so no point applauding them for their support, it would all be very fake.
