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.

In a week where the ONLY thing on anyones mind should be getting the right inoculation marching down seven sisters road and the destruction of the cockerel here u all are bleating going and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on like an italian washing machine.
This site has become the online whinger where even the site admin hope we lose games as they mistakenly feel that that would get rid of the manager .
FFS either do something or shut up !
If you dont care then fuck off !
You! Rakim! You makey more trainer! Nike no likey yap yap! Makey more trainer!

it's not that i don't care, it's more that i'm resigned to the fact nothing will change and until it does there is no point in me getting emotional about losing.
i enjoy winning and still get pissed off when we drop stupid points but it's happened so much in the last 7 years that it doesn't sting for days afterwards like it used to
^^ This 100%
I'm just in a kind of demotivated, resigned state of apathy. I'm not even angry about it much anymore. I think the fact that we have changed so much as a club has alienated me a bit too. We are now all about the money. Everything seems secondary to the money. We've sold out our heritage, our traditions and our class.
same for me too.under this regime our fate is already sealed so why bother worrying
Such a sad thread to read. You would hope people at the club will take note of this but I doubt they give a shite.
I still care - probably more than ever, because I can see the club declining and don't know where it will end. Problem is there's nothing anyone on here can do.
Some people, it seems, are in for a bit of self-preservation. You wouldn't be on here letting of steam, getting angry, upset and worked up if you didn't care.
Leaving the crap hole yesterday was the worst for a while....yeah we have lost there before but yesterday felt worse because they total believe the power has shifted, despite the ten goals pumped past them in the previous two encounters.
I was on the upper seg line and for the first time in my life i stood and just folded my arms watching the usual defensive mare and the HIGH LINE..even when we scored i felt nothing.....seriously this cannot be right....i didnt see how we would get a second without them getting a third....leaving to the noise that comes when you win a trophy is what got me...because...they may well have taken our 4th place trophy once and for all.....
I moan and whinge about us but still cant wait for the next game even though we havent a hope against bayern,dont care about wenger or the board or silent stan they can fuck right off
Well, I discovered I do still care - because I fucking screamed and roared all the way through that game on Sunday and was left in a blind rage afterwards. Took me hours to calm down. It's just that my caring is now heavily tinted with bitterness and anger at what Wenger, Wiggy, Ivan The Terrible and Prince Philip Hill-Wood have done to my once great club.
Not stopped caring. I dont get the same sick feeling in my stomach leading up to games that I got when we were in title races knowing we need to win each one. Thinking we maybe possibly need to win to remain on the coat tails of dross like everton and the totts doesn't quite get my blood racing as much although I'm still just as animated during games and angry when I see half-hearted shite from men in red & white.
Still, you take the rough with the smooth. There are worse clubs to support.
I still do care. But I'm completely resigned to the fact that we're crap, and there's nothing much I can really do about it.
So I still travel to wherever we are playing at the weekend/midweek/whenever, but when a mate says 'time to find a cab now' the least enjoyable part of the day begins.
Sunday I cared about. Really cared. But that's different. Doesn't matter what is happening when we play them, that is one that will always matter.
Not much we can do really but enjoy the piss up and maintain a keen sense of the absurd.
Just numb to it these days, numb. I'd live us to win something, anything and to be there when we end this '500 year'- or whatever we're up to now- trophy drought. However, I don't really think I actually like any of the players apart from JW, Podolski and perhaps Alex O-C and that makes it hard to fully get enthused by them. 10 + years ago, we had players that we could really get behind, who put the effort in and who you not only wanted to win things but felt deserved success. Today, I don't really think that any of them deserve to win a trophy, let alone want to.
Tried to stop caring but I just can't. However my enthusiasm for all things Arsenal has definitely been diminished, to the extent where - although I still fret about the outcome - I don't even bother to watch certain matches in order to save me from the even more stressful job of watching my fears come true in front of my eyes.
And I have to tell you, it's been working!! This is the least disappointed and angry I have ever felt after a defeat by Spurs, and I put it down to avoiding watching the match and all the subsequent highlights and analysis shows. Got a feel for the game from reading gooner.ed's article and the Spurs Match thread on Monday and that it was basically the same film I've seen over and over again. Yet by not actually watching it all unfold, I've probably saved myself a few grey hairs!!
