Yeah great article and so true, the Carling Cup final was another example....turning up in tracksuits for a final just shows the lack of discipline and respect IMO.Originally Posted by Charlie the Gooner
AW has allowed this to happen rather than clamping down on these things, I liken this to having a child that is spoilt and thinks that he can do anything he wants, AW has been far too soft with them and this is the result.
almost as bad as fab wearing a leather jacket on the field
Precisely, the players think they've got it made, that they're superstars who have achieved everything they need to, when in reality they have achieved sweet FA in their careers.
i was joking for gods sake
i remember when the players turned up for wembley under gg wearing suits and were accused of being arrogant!
Sorry but I think all players should turn up in suits for the final of a competition, it shows respect and that they take the job seriously.
The casual attitude at Arsenal these days is part of the problem, there's just no discipline at all. AW is just so protective of them and is just way too soft on them, I don't get why he is, it's been proven to achieve nothing positive.
that is a really old and dated point of view
what you wear makes no difference to your approach especially when you have to change anyway
I agree - it was B'hams biggest day in years - and they looked like it. We slouched off the bus with tracksuits and headphones on, looking and playing like the whole thing was beneath us - and look what happened, not just to the match but to our season.
But Wenger professses himself happy with the team spirit and attitude....
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
looking like it in hindsight, i bet a suit wouldnt have been credited for winning
perception is a funny thing
it sure didnt look underneath them at the final whistle with their reactions
Its not about the suit, its about the approach to the game. If you think our approach was right - them you must be on crack. The faces of the players spoke of how they had been humbled by a far poorer team, and undone by a schoolboy error. For real evidence of how much of a fuck they gave, look at their subsequent performances...

what you wear does not reflect your approach, thats an old school ideal. we know nothing of our approach to it only what we want to believe was the attitude. the mistake in the game wasnt due to that but the ongoing defensive problems. if they didnt care then how did they get there in the first place
i didnt know there are specific faces for losing to different types of team, i thought you were either disappointed or happy.
how much of a fuck they gave doesnt reflect on the next games, if that was the case then every player for the past 7 years falls under that banner, including some of our previous 'greats'.
