Watching Arsenal this year has been

[gingeadams]

Expensive...and Painful

[markyp]

making me feel ill,i feel a bag of ***** this morning and genuinely depressed and properly worried about our predicament.

[falkirk goon]

Worse than last season..and to all Gooners apart from The Arsole cultists its not really surprising

[BournemouthRED]

I know it's been said a million times before but, it literally is Groundhog Day! Surely there are few people left who are actually happy about our club right now!

All I can say is, every dog has its day and when we taste success again, which we will, it will taste that much sweeter

[Bradywasking]

Frustrated,

[SWLGooner]

I felt pretty much apathetic watching yesterday. I was more concerned with the red colour my hands had turned than the game.

We're no fucking good, we can all see that, we lose at big teams and occasionally win at small ones, so the craic is really the point of going Arsenal away now. That and protests.

[TeeCee]

Shit

[Top Londoner]

It's a fact that, year on year since we last won some silverware we have become worse each season.
I am beginning to feel like a battered housewife going back to the lover for more of the same abuse.
Do the custodians of Arsenal fc really think that I won't find refuge somewhere?



The banter with other club's supporters use to be just that, but now it is downright abusive and ridicule.
Yes, Arsenal have been through worse during my time as a supporter (1973), but FFS, we moved to the new stadium to allow us to compete.

I am moving to Suffolk soon and I shall be buying an Ipswich Town season ticket. Not to cheer them on, but because I can afford to buy one and watch some football in a stadium again, instead of at the pub or indoors.

Got a soft spot for Ipswich, my best mate was born there and I've been to see the tractor boys home away a few times. Even went to the play off final at wembley when they got promoted! Nice club and decent stadium too!

I would say that he has a soft spot for arsenal as he's been to many of our games but even he thinks we're shit now

This is definitely the season where the entertainment value has been at its lowest. I used to enjoy our games almost without fail up to 2008. It wasn't always winning football but it was good football, usually played at a high tempo and undone by some bad defending....but 80% of the time exciting. It has slowly been in decline since then but this year there have been so many games where either the whole 90 mins or the first half have been SOOOOO boring its untrue.

It is almost unthinkable from years gone by that we'd go 92 minutes without a single shot on goal against Schalke, or fail to trouble a Norwich City side so poor at the time that people were brandishing them one of the worst teams in PL history. Then we've had recently the first half bores - yesterday, home to Swansea, away to Swansea, home to City. Honestly 45 minutes passes by without so much as a shot or a surging run on goal even.

I think the football hasn't yet reached 1995 levels of tedium but its getting ever closer

Rip off ticket prices plus continued crap performances equals very pissed off supporters.

In recent years even though we weren't winning things at least people would admire the football we played. Now we don't even play good football. Just unimaginative, uncreative, unambitious
keep-ball that goes nowhere other than sideways and backwards.

is better away from home, predictable,depressing and sadly inevitable try as we must because there is only so much going round the shops or DIY you can do at the w'end.

But football was still predominantly on a Saturday at 3pm and you didn't need to sell your granny to get a ticket.So this feels worse.

like watching a mouse continue to step on the electric shock plate whilst trying to get the cheese in the maze.

[SE12red]

Desperately dull for much of the time . Slow tempo sideways passing . Low skill levels and what looks like almost zero effort from some players . Only highlight has been Jack coming back and an occasional champagne moment from Pod or Santi.
Any sustained excitement there has been has come in games where we are playing an equally poor team e.g. Newcastle/Reading.
