really insulting our intelligence with some of the quotes. idiot.
There should be more anger from arsenal fans (and I don't mean typing shit on the Internet) than I am sensing. Wenger had fucked this right up (nasri, fabregas situation) and should be forced to leave. The only way he is going to be forced is if there is a mass demonstration before, during and after the next home game. Or I guess many are like me and are simply finding it hard to care what's going on. For the start of every season I can remember, I have always been excited to watch and support the club. Right now, a day before the game, I could not give a flying fuck, to be perfectly honest.

TodayArsene Wenger last night admitted Arsenal "can no longer be called a big club" if they sell Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri.
"Imagine the worst situation - we lose Fabregas and Nasri - you cannot convince people you are ambitious after that," he said.
"And even if you lose Nasri, to find the same quality player, you have to spend again the same amount of money. Because you cannot say, you lose the player and you do not replace him.
"I believe for us it is important the message we give out. For example, you talk about Fabregas leaving, Nasri leaving.
"If you give that message out, you cannot pretend you are a big club, because a big club first of all holds onto its big players and gives a message out to all the other big clubs that they just cannot come in and take away from you.
"We worked very hard with these players for years to develop them, and now it's a time for us to keep them together."
Wenger, speaking at the start of Arsenal's Far East pre-season tour, said Nasri will "definitely" stay despite interest from Manchester City, Manchester United and Inter Milan.

I think the Fabregas situation was unavoidable, we wanted to sell him but Barcelona were determined to low ball us for him, and we've had to meet somewhere in the middle, Nasri it seems one of two things have happened depending on which media source you choose to believe that either Silent Stan has told the board that to lose 22million on a player who clearly won't sign a new contract is unacceptable, or Wenger saw Nasri in pre-season and was incensed by the lack of effort and commitment he was putting it.
The replacement for Fabregas should have been signed ages ago, as should have a centre-back and arguably a striker. It could be Wenger's prevaricating or it could be the Board refusal to allow him to spend more than he does usually without the cash surplus generated by the same of Fabregas/Nasri or both.
