As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

( I've watched since Terry O'Neill days). Before I am shot down on that one.
I don't think it's the DB/TH quote that will get you shot down!
DBO'10, O'Rodders, O'REB and O'Kojak (or O'Augie as he is also known) have had a good chuckle at that.
Wenger and sir chips fuckwit commenting on the fans opinion today. At least they are being forced to recognise the discontent now.
The pressure needs to be kept up, so there is no doubt what we want. I've seen a fair bit on social media saying it should be aimed at the board as well, but this would totally dilute and confuse the message at this stage. It should all be aimed at Wenger still, and if he still signs, then it just confirms how little they care about the fans (as if we didn't already know).
I should be at this one again, luckily it's a late kick-off as I'm working in the morning, but should be able to get there in time if all goes to plan.
Actually, I take a different perspective. Assuming as we must that we show the same "speerit" and character to overcome the mighty Lincoln as we did against the only slightly less mighty Sutton following the previous 5-1 Munich monstering, I genuinely think a semi-final exit is the best we can hope for under the circumstances.
The alternative, an FA Cup Final against any of the possible opponents, would be too much to bear - a LOSE/LOSE situation. Would hate to lose any final to Ch...., T...... or M....U.... but the consequences of winning this one would be......well, that pen is poised.
Semi-final exit is the best we can hope for, to avoid the worst scenario we can imagine and a FA Cup Final we'd dread whatever the outcome.

I dunno...maybe if he doesn't get Top 4 but wins the FA cup he'll go on a high. Probably not though as it will just prove to him he still has that winning touch.
And we won't win it anyway...it's all so depressing
He certainly bought into the myth of The Old Fraud; not sure where he stands now.
