hahaha. Class! Fantastic irony.

As to the rest of your comments, look... Fair play if you went to Ipswich. I know as well as anyone (and i'm not going to get into a playground discussion about my Arsenal credentials, so you'll have to take my word for it) how disappointing and frustrating it can be to shlep off to some shithole - especially in midweek - and see a few of the players, and very rarely, the team in general, completely fail to put a shift in.

It was not nice to see, but how often does it really happen that we witness a performance that dire. Once or twice a season? And that's once a season more than has been the case for most of the current manager's tenure.

Like everyone else, I don't have a problem with criticism of the players, the manager or anything else. But the caveat to that is the criticism should be fair, appropriately measured and at the very least well-informed.

When I read statements like:
mikeyb772001 wrote:Half the team don’t care at all and that is CLEAR TO FUCKING SEE. I never see Bendy run around giving his 100% all when he hasn’t had a good game.
...I just think you're either a complete plonker or a spers fan planted here from glory-glory.net I mean... do you REALLY believe that?? Half the team don't care at all?? They're professional footballers playing for a manager that's won the title 3 times. Do you honestly think they could get away with going about their day to day jobs without giving an ounce of a shit? I don't know what you honestly expect, or what they could do to make you believe they did care?

Same goes for calling professional footballers who have made it to the top of the game with one of Europe's biggest clubs "useless", "complete shit" etc; calling a manager with Wenger's pedigree a *word censored* or suggesting he's "lost the plot"; or digging out people who support the same club as you and who share the same passion as being "deluded" for trying to get behind their team and their manager at a time when that support is needed perhaps more than it has been for 30 years. These are the type of comments I might expect to see if we were going through a genuine crisis and struggling like Liverpool have been. Not when you're sitting a few points off the top of the league with the best away record in the division.

No, I wouldn't be impressed. But i might vote with my feet and, if I was that unhappy, leave and not go back. What I wouldn't do is wet my pants like a twelve year old girl and then proceed to whinge about it for hours on end making a cock of myself, ruining everyone else's evening out and dragging the restaurant's reputation through the mud for the sake of what might have just been a bad day for the member of waiting staff...

End of the day Zippy we are 2 fans with vastly different views. While you settle for players like Denilson and Barry B I don’t fucking like them. I am 33 years old and my first Arsenal game was in 1987 and I have never in my life time had so much contempt for players or a managers I do now.

You say that it’s a rare thing that the players don’t put a shift in but that’s simply not true. Way to many times this season I have witnessed many players not giving there all and being lazy. Arsenal v West ham, Arsenal v Newcastle, Arsenal v Birmingham , Shakhtar , scum 2nd half , braga , Arsenal v Fulham , Manure , Wigan , Leeds, and finally Ipswich! All of these games there has been a lack of effort despite some of the final scores. Not sure if you go the matches but the highlights on motd do not give a clear indication of how much effort many of the players put in.

Back in the day I have never hated a player but in this day and age the players are of a different mould and do not show the true Arsenal spirit. As I have said before if your on a run a bad form then fair enough, but don’t sit back and be fucking lazy. Don’t walk off at the end of the game laughing and chatting. Most of fans that start turning on the players are only just starting in higher numbers now as they have had enough of watching these shit players over the last few years. Its built up and up and if they decide to swear after the final whistle as said lazy players walk off the pitch smiling then its there right to do so.

Those players have been given lucrative contracts and no matter how bad they play they don’t get dropped and they keep giving the same lazy performance. If a fan chooses to cheer these players and keep supporting them then fine its up to them.

What I don’t get is why its so important to fans like you to get on the backs of fans who really have had enough of watching such passionless players play for his beloved club??????


You also mention that I should leave and not come back just because I am not satisfied with the current team. Well my friend I cant do that, I have arsenal in my blood more so than any player or manager. No matter what I will support them and keep going the matches and nothing will change. I put in effort as do 1000’s of us that no current player or manager could give.

When we get up on cold mornings with no money in the bank account to go to some shite part of the country to watch us play like *word censored* and not give 100% it does fuck you off to watch said players stroll around thinking there too good to put in effort.

Just to reply to your other comment about players being allowed to go about there jobs not giving a shit about the effort. This is clearly the truth! Way to many players in the team do not put in the effort and our manager keeps playing them. He rewards failure and has done so for a long time.



You seem to have biased views on the current team and don’t look at things in a realist way. Like a parent who has a kid that is ugly or that is shit at sports day. You in your mind think your kid is handsome , that he will marry a beautiful girl and that he could be a doctor when he grows up. When we all know that kid will grow up to be obsessed with star treck, have a girlfriend in Somalia that he met on the net and work in the cinema selling popcorn.

I respect your opinion though I don’t agree and you should do the same. If you go to matches I would happily buy you a beer as we are all gooners together regardless of views.

I am not calling myself a super fan but I find it hard to believe that a fan who goes as many games as I do home and away has such rose tinted views as you do.
If you are a away travelling man like myself and have seen every home game so far this season then I salute you for being so positive, I wish I could be the same and I do really mean that. It would stop me getting those terrible throbbing head aches I get at the end of a home gay at the grove.


What’s important is that for 90 minutes during the game we support the team which I do to the top of my voice.

If we loose to Ipswich and I choose to shout at Barry at the end then that’s my right. I pay the *word censored* wages at the end of the day.

No, because you can't vote with your feet if you don't like what's being served at the Arsenal restaurant, and pop of down the road to the Tottenham restaurant. If you could, then stomping your feet, and behaving irrationaly might not make much sense. You can't compare what would be an occasional visit to a restaurant to a season long commitment.

But when your tied to that restaurant, and you find that the cooks they employ keep on making the same mistakes, and don't care that the food comes out cold, then you are likely to react in a different way, knowing that you can't go to another one - therefore your demands for improvement are going to hightened.

Arsenal are Noma, and spurs are burger king.

First of all mikey, top post. That was a quality read. That's what I'd love to see more of on here, passion for The Arsenal chanelled in a (generally) positive way, rather than all the incessant moaning.

For the record, I am a few months shy of 30 and went to my first game in 88. I am a ST holder and haven't missed a home game since September 2003 (Pires dive v Pompey), but am now going away only a handful of times a season. Might get back on it at some point soon, new job permitting. In terms of what you said about contempt for the players and manager, to some degree I agree with you. I have never really felt less for a group of Arsenal players as over the past 2 or 3 years, but that's for a variety of reasons really not coz 'they don't give a shit'. And also my "contempt" doesn't boil over into hating them or slagging them off and what not.

I also sympathise somewhat with the view that Wenger "rewards failure", altho again I wouldn't go quite that far. There's a lot of old skool views knocking about Arsenal just at the moment about how this player and that players should be dropped for not pulling his weight and Wenger's too nice to them and should have them in suits on the team bus and whatever else, and I wonder if it's not something to do with the fact that a large amount of our support are "sons of George", brought up on Arsenal under Graham which was the antithesis of Wenger's style of management. You don't have to agree with Wenger's way, but I do think people should perhaps be a little bit more accepting and tolerant of it sometimes. It has brought the club success in the past and there's an even chance it will do again in the not too distant future. Bottom line is: he's World Coach of The Decade, and none of us are, so who's likely to know better??

I loved your little rant about having a kid with a somalian girlfriend and a job in the cinema by the way. Fucking brilliant! It's funny that you describe me as being so 'positive' coz amongst my mates that I go with and sit around, i've got the reputation for always being the doomsayer. Best example, 2-0 up against spers and half time was a bit of a party in block 6, I was saying "don't start all that yet, you know they'll definitely score one and i've got a bad feeling". 45 minutes later a good mate apologised to me for being so optimistic and putting the mockers on it!

My view is, as someone also involved with REDaction quite a bit, that football should be a laugh - win, lose or draw. I come on a Saturday to meet my mates, have a drink, enjoy the day, get behind the team, and if we win then brilliant it's a bonus to a good day out. If not, then fuck it, there's always the next game or next season and we might do better then. It sounds like it should be me buying you the beer to be perfectly honest! Which i'd be more than happy to do (Saturday if you're about?), altho you might have to come in The Rocket for it :wink: and I know how popular that place is amongst you regulars on here.

There seems to be an attitude in football now, and it's not just at Arsenal, that if you're team haven't won you can't enjoy it. But that's bollocks frankly. 6 years ago we had one of the finest teams of players ever assembled in the history of world football. To do what they did was astonishing and I went here, there and everywhere lording it up at every ground for 45 of those 49 games. "We Are Unbeatable". And then a European Cup Final. It was always gonna be a step down from that, always. And every time I get frustrated or upset at another silly goal we let in, I just think back to 4-1 away at Norwich in the sun, or that afternoon before the game in Paris and think *at least we had that, and it's ten times more than most football fans will EVER get. So at least we had it*.

We're The Arsenal. And that young team and that manager, who's still the same manager and just as "clued up" as he ever was, but in slightly different circumstances, need us and our support now more than they have done for fucking ages. Shouting and swearing at them won't make them more likely to win something. But getting behind them and actually supporting them might.

Victory Through Harmony.

Good post also. I think your spot on about being born under the George ere. His values and the way the players were still haven’t rubbed off on me. A few years ago we still hand that bond and spirit with the team but I do think that disappears more and more now.

Though I rant on here at the games am different and I do get behind the team 100%. I stand directly behind Stephen the noise Gallagher so I have no choice in doing so ha-ha. Though saying that the both of us have shouted a few un savoury words at the manager on occasion but that was against Spers 2nd half. Not that Wenger can hear us mind…
Where I am in Block 6 its where all the chants really start from so every game I am behind the team no matter what. I am the first to get a chant going the second we let a goal in and I stay singing till the final whistle.
Its strange as at the spers game I also said that we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves as everyone around me apart from the Noise, was thinking that we had won already.

My point initially about slagging off the players was based mainly on the Ipswich game. I indeed at the end of the 94 minutes I shouted out that Bendy was a *word censored* but that was alcohol fuelled and though its not right I don’t regret It.He showed us no respect walking off the pitch smiling chewing gum and in game that we had to atleast score he strolled around like he was to good for it.

I am from the same kind of Arsenal age as you and I know there is always next game and next season and I don’t come just to see us win. What I do expect is 100% effort and for the players to try there hardest and run around , the basics of a 60k a week star.

I am not one of the members here that dig out REDaction, that’s one thing that fucks me off!!!! I salute any gooner that gets involved with the atmosphere or dares to start a chant. Way to many keyboard warriors that slag off people that try. Just look at the thread of the Cham chant. My mate posted that live from the pub on the Ipswich game and all it got was abuse by some idiots on here.

I agree that the team needs support and I give it 100% though I stick to my point about Wenger and I wont sing 1 Arsene just out of principle. Apart from that I get involved with everything.
I would prefer you to be right about Wenger but sadly I don’t think he is as clued up as he ever was. If he was clued up he would sort this defensive mess up and sign a quality defender god knows we need it!

But that's bollocks frankly. 6 years ago we had one of the finest teams of players ever assembled in the history of world football. To do what they did was astonishing and I went here, there and everywhere lording it up at every ground for 45 of those 49 games. "We Are Unbeatable". And then a European Cup Final. It was always gonna be a step down from that, always. And every time I get frustrated or upset at another silly goal we let in, I just think back to 4-1 away at Norwich in the sun, or that afternoon before the game in Paris and think *at least we had that, and it's ten times more than most football fans will EVER get. So at least we had it*.

We're The Arsenal. And that young team and that manager, who's still the same manager and just as "clued up" as he ever was, but in slightly different circumstances, need us and our support now more than they have done for fucking ages. Shouting and swearing at them won't make them more likely to win something. But getting behind them and actually supporting them might.

Victory Through Harmony.

I probably spoke to you that match. I stand directly in front of him. Loads of his mates were doubled up with us

We argued. You refused to listen and continued to spout forth the "we had £56m to spend" bollocks. Nowt more to say. Nothing manly about it, just a waste of everyone's time.

Wheres your evidence that we didn't have that to spend?

USMartin is even claiming that we have £100m to spend and don't forget, we are talking about the period to may 2010, so its likely to be far more now.
