shocking support for the team, i can understand the frustrations but the buck stops with boo'ing. Joey barton gets boo'd not our lot!!!
further more the fan who had the audicty to question me quite agressivly on why i clapped the team off. Who the fuck was he to judge me the *word censored* on how i SUPPORT my team.
i think some of the fans have actully come out from this game alot worse off then the players in terms of personal integrity
I felt ashamed to call myself an Arsenal supporter

I agree with getting behind the team but nervous in front of goal or not Fulham were playing keep ball for the entire last 10mins plus injury time with no urgent pressing. This was FULHAM, not Man United or Chelsea (who we have both beaten this year). Regardless of who it was anyway, why were we in no mood to chase the ball and all 3 points?
The teams attitude is confusing right now which is leading to booing. We need 4th so we need to chase games we are not winning. Low confidence may mean we are missing sh*t loads of chances but what is the reason we gave up trying on Saturday in the last 10 mins?
Being spiritless/guttless/apathetic as a collective team at Arsenal is an understanding cause for booing surely?
Wages aside, low confidence aside, this current team seem like they expect the fans to resign to 5th/6th and UEFA cup football next year as well as them so is it not up to the fans to remind them we are Arsenal and that is not acceptable? A question for the non-booers is how do you get the message across to this current lot?
I dont agree with booing but at this rate we'll be chasing Everton in 6th and then what?

I sometimes wonder if some supporters actually have a breaking point or they would simply let players get away with anything because they wear the red and white shirt. As people have already said, it’s the lack of work rate and desire that people take exception to, not lack of talent.
If one of our players just wandered around never trying to get close to the ball for an entire 90 minutes, would people still clap them? After all he is still wearing an Arsenal shirt.
I haven’t booed at the Emirates this season, but I’m not clapping them off after a performance like Fulham either. That would suggest approval and might make the players think there isn’t a problem with their efforts, when there clearly is!

To Boo or not to Boo
Whilst I have never Booed nor am ever likely to i am sick to the core of some of the players who wear our shirt.
Also,if people DON'T boo the hard nose cash n carry shylocks controlling the purse strings will not open them up for Wenger to spend any money whatsoever.
I have completely fallen out of love with the club and hate the new ground and the supporters it has attracted.
I prefer to watch in the pub nowadays despite having been a season ticket holder since 1974 i cant bear going in to the shithole that is now home .

For me, if you boo you might as well stay at home because all you are doing is venting your own anger but actually creating an atmosphere where you get a bunch of players that will lose confidence playing at home.
We have always prided ourselves on being a decent set of fans that don't get on the backs of players (unlike the ****) so lets get back to that.
I for one realise you can't win something every year particularly when you have no money to spend and also realise how different it would be if Cecs, Theo, Eduardo and Rosicky were available.
People seem to forget that.

Tone - there's a lot of Gooners that make the same mistake in thinking that it's a lack of trophies that pisses people off. For most I don't think it's that at all, it's more a lack of effort and commitment from sub-standard players who are earning record sums whilst we, the fans are paying the highest prices in European football to watch our team.
I honestly think the club get away with murder because Arsenal fans are incredibly well behaved and respectful.
