Tired of anti-moaners

The blogosphere has changed considerably over time. Several years ago there did used to be an unjust amount of criticism from our own supporters on blogs, during our successful period. It was popular for the general blog population to see who could be the biggest moaner. I found that very tiresome ...

Arsenal’s disappearing support

It seems the fans are constantly under attack .. from the fans. We've always got the worst fans for some reason or another.

There were plenty of empty seats because the fans are sick of watching crap football. We've barely put on one entertaining performance all season, the "Arsenal fans are spoilt ...

In Defence Of Diaby

Derek Purcell - I could kiss you. I read a fantastic amount of rott, your article was excellent, and I could not agree with you more. How the fans are managing to tar Diaby with the same brush as Denilson and Song is a scandal.

When will Diaby ever, EVER be given a go in the middle, it's a joke. If ...

The shame is the Online Gooner's

5 points click at the top of the league ... chickens coming home to roost ... lets hope when the eggs hatch at the end of the season, it's on your face. Shameful post, the only thing worse than the performance is the turncoat behaviour of our blog-commentators.

I previously had an article on this site saying that I don't know what everyone is so fussed about it, that people want to watch the game, and that our atmosphere is as good as elsewhere.

I need to have a re-think. I sat in the Upper tier against City and was shocked by the silence around me. The ...

You knock the media, but you're coming out with quite a lot of media bollocks yourself. Tevez a great player ... yeah, said who exactly. Said the media. He's never been great, never will be great, can't even get in the Argentina side. If you're after some great talent, think Messi, not some workman ...

Hardly a great mystery, Diaby and Denilson have had ankle knocks. Wenger has given every possible indication that both of those players are way ahead of Flamini in the pecking order, as well as Gilberto, so not sure where you're coming from.

In terms of playing one up front, Eduardo and Adebayor ...

Don't agree with much you've written there Kevin. As Martin Samual writes in The Times today, the Arsenal fans need to start being a bit more appreciative of what's being put out in front of them. This constant down-hearted approach is contrary to the talent of the team, and contrary to the efforts ...

You're not the only one, I'm amazingly excited about the season ahead. I don't think expecting qualification for the champions league should be considered ambitious though, I want the title. Or as Arsene says, to expect us to be there fighting for it. No team can guarantee winning it, but I'm ...

It's a complete myth that our squad isn't strong enough. Compared with who exactly. Chelsea have two players for each position, that has been Mourinho's target, and we have at least the same. This squad is filled with more quality than I've ever seen as a supporter. We've got umpteen excellent full ...

You said a couple of posts ago that maybe we should ask the opposition to come and play the way we want, well, that's a debate worth having. There's either a problem with Arsenal, or a problem with the opposition. The opposition have never been less adventurous against us, more so against us than ...

I like it that kids and women go to the team, can watch the match, and feel safe

They did that too on the North Bank in the 80s

And you're talking to me about swallowing the media line?

That's not true and you know it, there was never the proportion of children and women that there are today ...

Those quiet fans sitting in club level, at least they're trying to get an interest, let them in, encourage them, the more people that support Arsenal the better, stop slagging them off.

It's a shame their interest doesn't override that of getting hold of some free drinks at half time.

When that ...

Okay Tony .. so maybe not many 3-0 coastings last season admittedly!, but our level of domination, even at 0-0, is difficult on the team, and the fans.

Cuz Geezer, you point to the GG area, but we were incapable of dominating teams in any way recognisable to what we do today. If we'd won 5-0 under ...

Why don't you try something other than abuse you dirty little oik, a forum is for discussion.

I didn't ask for peace and quiet, I said we all love a good atmosphere. I'm personally a louder fan, that's how I let out my frustration and passion, but I don't castigate others for wanting to sit and ...
