The Banner

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.

Have to say, it never ceases to amaze me what a Communist-style dictatorship this one-man club has now become. It's fucking unreal. Having non-offensive banners seized? Which other PL club does this???
Those Green and Gold ManUre fans, run by Yanks didn't even have those 'GLAZER OUT' banners seized did they? A couple did, but after complaints ManUre let some banners in.

Blackburn fans turned up to the Citeh game with 'KEAN OUT' banners at the ready.

Last season, Villa fans turned up with 'HOULLIER OUT' banners. Also owned by some Yank but there was no crushing of dissent there now was there?

What takes place at Arsenal is unique and absolutely fucking DISGRACEFUL. I actually feel someone should challenge this legally. There is defo a case here, so long as no health and safety or free speech impositions are being breached.

P.S: Why does someone not find those twats with the 'IN ARSENE WE TRUST' drape thingy, and just paint out the 'T' at the start of the word 'TRUST'??! Easiest thing in the world to do!!!
:shock:

Only an epic retard would have a problem with you expressing this point of view. If it is acceptable for a couple of plastic spastics to have 'IN ARSENE WE TRUST' banners at the ground, then it should be perfectly acceptable for an opposite philosophy to be aired.

Only an intellectual philistine would disagree with this.

As for the JCLs SWL mate, I am more than happy to go to the soulless concrete bowl and unfurl this for you. I will happily pay any AKB a set amount of cash to try and start any shit with me. I doubt it would happen...
Like I said, I've screamed some horrible things at Wenger the last time I was in the ground over a year ago...surrounded by AKBs and not one fronted up or squared up to me. They are pussies, and that includes those vaginas at Red Action.

MikeyB I have an excellent contact at TalkShite. I can get in touch with you, get you on the radio by tonight/tomorrow afternoon and you can put your message across loud and clear. Just drop me a line if you fancy it mate....
:barscarf:
He's right here, I was screaming stuff at Wenger at their lap of dishonour against Villa last season, and all that was left were AKB wankers, they gave me dirty looks but that was about it.

I certainly think any banner/flags should be allowed into the ground, got no objection with that.

Anything to support the team is a good idea.

the people waving the banner against Wenger will look a bit stupid when we are winning, as we do for the vast majority of games at the Emirates.
5 wins out of 6 so far this season :barscarf:

My God..what can you say to that ????? It is people like this that have allowed this great club to me submerged in mediocrity...If the majority of Arsenal Supporters felt like that then we may as well accept our fate.

Babatunde,

We drew last season so a win on Sunday will be a good result and an extra 2 points that we didnt get last season. It would almost cancel out the defeat at Blackburn :D

I actually believe your looking for a reaction purposefully, most probably iceman or louder who were banned for similar reasons. Get a life mate, if your a proper arsenal supporter you'll know your talking shit and antagonising your own clubs fans intentionally is pathetic. I hope you find something else to occupy your time

listen I dont see how hoping for a win on Sunday can be seen as antagonising :?

and it is a fact that home form this season is good.
The next 3, Sunderland, Stoke and Bolton are all winnable and that would make it 8 wins out of 9.
ok if we dont win those then questions have to be asked. I am not as much of an AKB that people on here seem to make me out to be. I just think he is the right option at the moment.

Hoping for a win is not a problem, and I hope we win every game this season and Wenger proves us wrong. But it wont happen. We're 15th ffs, have lost to all our main rivals already and our best players have been sold or are injured bar one, and that wont take long.

Its a disaster season mate.

Have been saying the same thing for a while, it's disgusting & I can't believe a bigger issue hasn't been made of it. Having flags seized because they don't toe the party line?! Nothing offensive, racist, sexist or vulgar on there yet because you voice a differing opinion you're not allowed to display it.

It's like something straight out of North Korea.

now your just taking what I said out of context, striaght from the USM line of debating :lol:
It's because your an arrogant twat, assumming we'll beat sunderland, and saying the people with the banners will look silly if we beat them, despite sunderland being one of the weakest teams in the league. The fact is if you think a couple of home wins against relegation fodder means that wenger is right and deserves 15 more years you are quite obviously silly. I always want arsenal to win, but just becuase I don't think it will happen it doesn't mean I'm not an arsenal supporter. Just becuase you can't handle criticism of your favourite team or "hobby" it doesn't mean we're out of line or should change our views.

There is nothing offensive in any way on that banner but my guess is you will be ejected pretty much the moment it is displayed.

As someone else on here said, don't do this from your own seats and make sure you have passed your cards on to someone else.

You may well take a slap but I am sure there wil be plenty who would back you up too.

All the best.

Agreed, it sinks of double standards.

Perfectly acceptable to have a pro Wenger banner but any respectful anti-Wenger message and it's likely to be removed.....no doubt you will be too and giving a life time ban! :roll:

Think the club need to be careful otherwise Arsenal's going to become a dictatorship and that won't be good PR either and turn more fans.

Now here is an issue where Rolypoly could put to use his alleged expertise in the law and his supposed perchant for helping 'the small man' against the bullying and greedy 'big company'!! :barscarf: :barscarf: What say you? :lol: :wink:
