Great though I think the banner is, having seen the fuss its already whipped up & now press coverage too, I wonder if it would have been wiser not to announce your intentions & instead unveiled it by surprise.
I have no doubt AFC will be doing everything they can to stop this getting into the ground & I wouldn't be surprised if there are security waiting for you at the turnstile on Sunday. I'd give the banner to a mate or someone less conspicuous to carry into the ground if I were you...

Yep, good thinking, I'd give it to Pat Rice to take in!
Almunia is a clown wrote:What gives pro Wenger supporters the right to threaten violence against others who don't agree with their views? Why are they so intolerant against anyone who disagrees with them?
So it's alight for some to have pro Wenger banners but others with a different viewpoint are told to take them down??
I personally would rather have a banner against the board, but if the supporters wish to have this issue brought to bear then so be it. Because the
situation is reaching boiling point.
Afterwards everyone can turn on the board, apart from any total idiot supporters who like being totally screwed by the current corrupt owners!!!
It not just that mate, its passion. People are passionate about their club and their feelings. And so passion can boil over.
I commend swl for doing something, and trying to send a real message of anger and dissatisfaction at the club. I may not agree with the sentiment, but im proud the guy is actually doing something active to get this point across.
But I have a feeling that you may get a worse reaction than you expect mick( ). There are an awful lot of the old school that are so pro-arsenal whatever, just support the team/club no matter what. Was out with a good mate today who works with a couple of old school life long gooner, go every game home/away/abroad all follow em pre-season too. The minute i mentioned the banner my mate immediatly brought the two guys up and basically said these old boys would go fucking mental if they saw that.
I also have the feeling you'll probably get a few coked up dyer wannabes looking to show off too.
Basically be carefull mate. And make sure you are surrounded by those who are behind you. Just bundle in a section where your all together. I honestly think you are going to get a lot more hassle than your expecting. And maybe it is better to only show it if we're behind and things are going bad. Just imagine you show it before ko at chelski, and we win 3-0. It'll go down as a massive cock up. And the media will have a feild day with it, in the opposite way you want.
As I've said before you'll become known as the marmite Arsenal Fan. But fair play mate!!!
I'm only posting at ten to four in the mornung because iom fucked out me face. Anyway, that aside, i think if the lad ewants to make his point he should do it before kick off. If atsenal go 3-0 up and he takes it down itd look daft, but if he kept it up it wqould show that depsite a good result (3-0 at chelsea is a mint result, we done it last season, thoroughly enjoyed ), he still wants wenger gone. If it only gfoes up when behind it'll look like a sort of pre planned knee jerk reaction
Anyeway, dont listen to anyone having a go at you marra, youre entitled to say what you want, your message isnt abusinve so those criticising it shjouldnt be abusive either. They will be like, but just tell them to fuck off.
Still think wenger isnt the right target mind, but still, youre the gooner, its your call
Hahaha! Your accent is really strong when you're off your face

it is a shame that there are a minority of deluded Arsenal supporters who think he is though.
