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.

Has it really got so low that we gooners are turning on each other? Its not just on the O.G where heated debates break out anymore. This isn’t a good thing and there shouldn’t be such a huge divide amongst Arsenal fans???
I myself have been in a few heated arguments at the grove and its always a Wenger apologist turning around shouting back at us, getting angry with what we are saying.
Twice its nearly turned into a fight with the AKB’s actually wanting to fight due to hearing negative comments made about the Le Boss.
Every game I hear the same shouting at one another and on occasion’s stewards running in too split fights up. Every time the arguments are about Wenger , why he didn’t sign anyone or basically someone shouting out abuse aimed at the Manager.
During the Blackburn game it got so bad that stewards had to run in and calm things down and split up various fights. All of this caused by someone who got that angry with what he was hearing he wanted to fight everyone in close proximity.
It doesn’t stop there , the heated exchanges continue outside also. During the cup final there were reports of various fights in the ground and on route back to the station. Saw a few myself on the way out and know of friends that got in fights on the way back to Wembley park! Even in the ground there were fans shouting at one another regarding Wenger!
Its got to the point now that I know the next home game if we don’t win it will kick off again, and again all down to the divide in fans over the Manager.
I have never seen this kind of thing before in all my years of going the arsenal. The divide is so strong now that at games its like we have home and away fans standing together.
Has it really got that bad that not only is the Le Boss killing the club he is also causing us to fight each other?
No one makes you do anything.
You choose to call Wenger a *word censored*.
You choose to foam at the mouth in rage.
You suffer the consequences if people pull you up on it.
Grow up and take responsibility for your own actions and stop blaming Wenger for your childish behaviour.
it also happened when we were playing baggies away, 2-0 down and fans turning on each, quite entertaining
one young lad was supporting every player in our team and took offence when the bloke in front started slagging off Denilson and Almunia
its been a while since i've seen fistycuffs in a football ground, last time i saw it a fat chappy had his pie knocked out of his grubby mitts and basically did a daddy splash on this poor lad,

Yeah, Gus/Percy used to get very angry if anyone interfered with him eating his food!!!
Mate and I had an arguement with an away regular at the Utd FA cup game as he was booing the players.
I don't boo and won't, I don't normally care if anyone else boos, it's their business, but I just don't think we should be doing it in the middle of a game away from home.
The story is accurate; it was kicking off all over the Club Level.
Contrary to popular belief we actually care about the game just as much as you plebs downstairs.
Just imagine how angry you would be if you were contributing three times as much to Almunia’s wages.

Interesting thread Mikey but it shines through that your bottle went big time !Fact is Violence as dispute resolution has it's limitations particularly in the video age !
so you would have have just lumped the bloke there and then?
Personally if i was in that position I would be embarrassed to be seen in our own stands fighting fellow gooners.

Well said Gus.
If the fucker hits you, fair enough, reply with a punch to the throat, but if he's just mouthing off? Let him. He's only making a tool out of himself.

Herd - Trust me i am not the type to lose my bottle in a situation like that.
There were plenty of people there who saw what happened. Also a few people on here saw the whole thing.
These are fellow gooners we are talking about. Not really going to get my mate Stanley and slash the *word censored* am i?
I made the situation worse by shouting back at the idiot , and then had to deal with his mates who got involved. Lucky I wasn’t drunk enough to go fight the guy or my season ticket would be gone.
Hardly a bottle job. You don’t know me so don’t throw around shit like that.
I wouldn't be in such a situation..........end of .
Mikey shot his mouth off and got into a scene that he couldn't control and comes whining on here asking for sympathy.
Its not my fault he's a gobshite is it !

Yeh ok herd or what ever your name is.
Says the guy who name drops at every opportunity. You wasn’t there big man and you don’t know me.
Your hardly one comment especially as you watch the games from your Arsenal supporters bar in Singapore.
As I said you wasn’t there and you didn’t see it unfold. I was more than in control . At least someone that day had some passion during the game.
You missed the point of the thread completely. I don’t want sympathy! I wanted people to know what is going on at the Arsenal. People like yourself who watch in a bar 1000’s of miles away have no clue how much the fans are dividing.
You don’t know me nerd. Maybe if I read up on 40 years of football violence and join a library I can then name drop like you.
Mikey it's really not my fault u choked it happens to all of us at some point in our lives. Even I had it on my toes when faced with the Ice-cream firm at a cockney rejects gig long time ago !
I am very aware of the in fighting problems at Arsenal ,a friend of mine who is 55 and his dad who is in his eighties were attacked by anti Wenger Supporters. Despite his fathers age and having had a season ticket since the 60's and his father before that since the 30's ,they were both banned for a game and threatened with having their season tickets taken away after a biased report from a steward was handed to the club.
I cant help the fact that I don't get to many games at the moment but i guarantee you Ive been to many more than you have been you cheeky pup you !
Despite what u think I Abhor violence and have done since May 1st 1982,but what I don't to is have chavvy shouting matches with divs ,its your choice if you do but like everything in life every action has a reaction !
I shall explain the Tao of Arsenal at another time !
