Why is it any less acceptable than it was last summer or in the summer of 2013?.
AWs response to the atmosphere at the Emirates last season could just as easily been "well they are probably all on their periods or something".
It's not acceptable but it's down to the fans to take some sort of action. Whether it's protests or boycotts, however you see fit, something has to be done differently. The Board and manager are following the same patterns so it's down to the fans to change their behaviour. No other way. We have deep rooted problems and just seeing how the club have handled the Arteta and Henry situation should be set the alarm bells off.
What i find it that fans of other club are just as split on our predicament as the Arsenal fans themselves are
Some don't understand why we don't spend more money on players and why we keep Arsene Wenger, and some don't understand what we complain about and would love the "consistency" we have in our league finishes which i suspect is the artificial creation of a top four finish as actually meaning something in itself.
My answer to the latter, I don't think it's unreasonable when we pay the highest ticket prices in Europe to expect a bit more than consistency.
It's interesting how they view Wenger, like us they don't believe he is a top manager any more where as i remember ten years ago clubs like Liverpool's fans said they'd take him as manager.
Most don't believe he deserves to be sacked, but that he should move on.

The recent Arsenalvision podcast on transfers is pretty good.
Clearly the three targets we've seemed to have made genuine moves for are Xhaka, Vardy and Mkhitrayan. The latter two obviously didn't come off but had they did we'd be in a much better position than we are right now.
Agree with Tim Stillman though, I think what will happen is that Wenger will end up reluctantly parting the money for Lacazette. Clearly he doesn't rate him that much otherwise we'd have concluded the deal already but with Welbeck out this season, I think he knows this isn't a season he can't skate through again with just Giroud. Draxler as well if the deal is good, but it really beggers belief why we didn't go for him last season when his stock was lower and the price was semi reasonable. If he really rated him then a couple of bad seasons shouldn't have deterred him - now we're looking at 40 million if we're lucky
Honestly, I hope we don't bring in that LaCassetetape bloke. He looks very ordinary. 5th choice French striker. He'll just be another huge irritation and constant reminder of what a cheapskate our manager is. Draxler yes. We already know how L'Idiot is setting up to play this season. Draxler could add some spark to that corpse. But it sounds like it'd be closer to £50mill.

Draxler?, what happens when he decides he wants to take up Ballet and even his close-minded Geordie miner family help him realise his dream
I don't think it is particularly any less acceptable. Last season showed that even with all the excuses stripped away Wenger just isn't up to it anymore. He is so set in his ways, that transfers can only take place at the beginning and end of the window. Its really damaging to the club.

NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
i think the best bet at this point is to get the best player we can in. Laccazette isnt really that good, especially for the silly price Lyon are asking. Pay whatever it takes for Draxler and move Alexis up front with Giroud. Revert back to a 442 with Draxler-Xhaka-Ramsey-Ozil as the midfield.
