Time to call a Truce?

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.

The whole point in these forums is banter, as long as it is healthy polite and meaningful, each to their own.

as fans/supporters (BG) we can say what we want about the team because the reason we say it is the same for all of us.
The term "truce" was meant as a tool for stopping all the "squad can be improved like this, denilson is shit, Wenger must go" threads we get on a daily basis - nothing can be done now until may and its much better if we get behind our team.

There was no "negatives" v "positiives" love-in intended.

Last night proved the essence of this thread - Bendtner was supported and cheered throughout the game Saturday despite some horrible misses, instead of having to contend with the crowd agsinst him he was able to foucus and be confident in the next game knowing he had the crowd behind him, and what a way to repay!! Ironically, Bendtner actually had a better all round game on Saturday , but he is such an outlet when he plays, really benefits the likes of Rosicky, Nasri and Arshavin with him around.

My point is there really is no need, or any point getting on the back of any player at the games, as from now until may as nothing can be changed in that department. There is nothing wrong with a bit of extra support for Almunia, Denilson, Bendtner, Eboue when they are in the side because they are going to have a massive part to play. Ive heard awful barracking of Bentnder at the ground in the past, often unwaranted, but who knows, maybe that recent show of extra support really pushed him on yesterday.

Eboue seems to be revelling in the support he is receiving and probably appreciates it more, what a lad, what a player! He is in great form at the moment, he seems to be the one player who really does play for the club and the fans (despite being benched after 2 good performances he was out there, high fiving every player at HT, aknowledging the fans after the game etc. His ability is often questioned, but his commitment and love for Arsenal cannot.

Thus, lets get behind whoever is out there, what an end to the season we are set up to have, this is what supporting Arsenal is all about

But what about all of them fixtures you missed out? Honest question, that's all.

He's referring to the fixtures which could be reasonably assumed as potential point-droppers. Of course its possible to drop points in the other fixtures but it would be surprising.

forum is the palce for discussiona nd argument, not necessarily support depending on your viewm, however come match day at the match all fans show support and get behind the team as you setill want them to win regardless of how shit you think some of the players are.

thus theres no point in a truce as theres not a war and the whole point of the existence of a forum isnt to show support on.. its to discuss, argue, and have banter with fellow enlightened people who chose Arsenal.

Bollocks, any fixture is a potential slip-up. United looked at Burnley as a "nailed on 3 points" but we came away with feck all.

same goes for you lot actually, I think you drew there?

You can't go on paper, especially not this season.
