Arsenal V Swansea, Wed 19:45

[Niall_Quinn]

I didn't think I could be surprised by any of the lame excuses coming out of the club, but I underestimated them. It's not the money, it's not the injuries, it's not the tapping-up, it's not the fixture list, it's not the International breaks, it's not the pitch, the ref, the weather. Forget all that. Today's apparently unified front from the club and it's evangelists has been kind enough to inform us it's the fans' fault.

Breathtaking. Who could have guessed that an owner adding hundreds of millions to his net worth, a manager who has taken some £100million out of the club, and a team all on insane money have failed because of a bunch of blokes on docker's wages who don't cheer loud enough as they are being shit on. Selfish bastards have cost us another title. No wonder we have such a terrible record in the CL.

No fan WANTS the team to lose. But when you see these results against particular teams happen year after year you go into those games with trepidation - much like the players it seems. And then when the same outcome unfolds you think WTF! What's going on with this team, year after year? So you can want to win, be disappointed when you don't win but also not in the least bit surprised given the history.

My point about raising our game is if we aren't peaking now, at the business end of the season, with our squad experience, with our resources, with the club's experience of these pressure soaked title challenges in relation to the spud's and particularly Leicester's lack of experience then it's inexcusable. It really is. You have to conclude the manager has not done his job, has failed miserably to do his job, when you consider our performances over the last couple of months. All culminating in a limp-wristed capitulation to the worst equipped and worst managed Utd team in decades. It's a scandal and there's no explaining it away with

tired old excuses that Leicester are busy blowing out of the water and a mile into the air. Leicester raised their game months ago and have kept their performance levels at a peak. The spuds have been relentless in the past couple of months, peaking just at the right time. It's as if they are the experienced campaigners and we are the nervous rank amateurs. Questions need to be asked and it wouldn't hurt the club or the manager to provide some answers. Instead you see sarcasm from the manager who is busy blaming other clubs for tapping up his players, pretending Utd's money had a bearing on Sunday's results and advising the fans who have watching this repetitive bullshit to be "neutral" and unemotional. This is a joke surely?

I understand that we have more chance of fixing this mess if the fans and the team are united, and I don't see any problem with that and I believe it's what will happen. But there's no requirement to include Wenger in the relationship. He knows best, he fucked up the transfer window, he took the big pay-cheque to manage at the top level and he has fucked up, again. Just as he does every season. There comes a point where the man's excuses have to be discounted and his performance analysed in a colder light. Is 10 years not enough time to reach a decision on this guy? Bottom line, he can't compete with Leicester City and our reviled rivals so what is he good for? And why do we need to support him? He plainly has no respect for the fans, look at his interview today. So let him live by his attitude and his failures. That doesn't stop us cheering on the team and I'm sure we will.

I can not disagree with any point you have made because it is the truth , black on white . Arsene has a kind of stubbornness which is affecting the team and it has been the same for a while . by refusing to buy top players who can not only play top football but soak up pressure he has not done any favor to his team .
To be honest if Spurs and Leicester seem to play better than us , it is not because they better than us . It is simple because we feel more pressure than them . Everyone expect us to do better than them . But as we do not have the kind of players who can deal better with this kind of pressure , we are cracking .

We are cracking. Again. It's like a tradition. That's why the manager has to go. If only he would have the sense to call it a day himself so all of this could end with some sort of dignity. But I have the feeling he'll have to be hounded out. Either that or the fans will have to just sit there and bear it until he leaves. And listening to him today it sounds like that's what he expects to happen. It won't. He won't be excused for blowing this title opportunity. Nor should he be.

Is anyone else going to this?

[LDG]

Is anyone else going to this?

I had to have words with myself today as I took a look to see if there were tickets left.

But no. I can't do it.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I don't blame you.

This is most likely it for me this season.

[Marc Overmars]

I booked my seat 10 days ago. Shame TX is non-refundable.

I'll be shouting Boo Urns.

[Power n Glory]

Totally agree with you , Selassie . But we should not just only point a finger at the team . All of us are concerned . Board , management , team , fans ,.. Etc .. We have let the Arsenal "family" down . What was once a great team , we have made it average .

Fcuk off!

[Xhaka Can’t]

Fcuk off!

He genuinely means well.

Me? I'm about to join in the family angst tomorrow.
