I know you like Tim Stillman and i sometimes read his column, he is of the opinion that the majority of fans that go to the Emirates week in week out aren't the same voices on the fan forums, on twitter etc during the week (and i tend to think he's got a point, i don't think many of us on here are season ticket holders).

Now this is not him or me saying the complaints are coming from people who aren't proper fans, it's just most of the Emirates crowd (and i say specifically the Emirates crowd) tend to be people who go to the Arsenal as a weekend routine, have their pie, buy their match day program and win, lose or draw go back and meet their mates or take the missus out for a meal without any further thought on the match.

It's always going to be the away crowd that is the most boisterous and vocally disapproving (especially if they travel half way across the country to watch a load of dross)
Everyone has the freedom to do as they please. That's not an attempt from me to sway anyone, just stating what I believe would rattle Wenger enough to walk.

As for Tim Stillman, I respect his opinion on football and tactics but haven’t seen his views on the Emirates and fans. But even if that’s his view, I can’t really pay it too much attention because that discounts the guys on Arsenal fan TV like DT who are also on Twitter.

But either way, I think it usually takes a brave few to get things rolling.
