Rodders me old mucker - your powers of denial and endurance have won me over.......last night felt like the beginning of the end. When the normal thronging masses of Blocks 2-6 fail to offer a ripple of support for their Lord and Master, you can sense the worm is turning. 2 months left ??
I think my cheeseburgers are starting to curl up
Things are going to get a whole lot worse before you can finally bin them filet mignons SteveO. There's 7 weeks of this dross left
Oh and congratulations on becoming "enlightened", better late than never

If 7 weeks of it getting worse means not finishing in the top four, then you know my thoughts on that subject. If we had to endure the humilation of finishing 6th in what was billed a 3 horse race a month or so ago then it will be worth the greater good. The day we sold RvP on top of Nasri and Cesc we lost the right to talk about needing CL qualification to keep our best players......its a myth. Suarez stayed put in a non CL team and will finish higher.
My only fear now with the end of There's Only One, is the selection process for his successor that Dumb and Dumber will head up.

Anwyway the below is a selection of his texts, and people wonder why I'm on the verge of a massive breakdown!
"this club is on the rise and we have wenger to thank for that"
"when we lift the FA cup he will announce his new contract, here's to the next 1000"
"be careful what you wish for"
"the FA cup is on the way and champ lge again, what a miracle worker. Nobody could have achieved more on our budget over the last 10 years"
"the money is available now due to Wenger's brilliance, he has transformed the club, genius of a man"
"top 4 and FA cup, even the most optimistic of supporters would have taken that at the start of the season and you call them gutless"
Sorry for sharing that sh1te but I'm at my wits end here today
Seriously, and I'm not kidding here, but I could not go to a match with this moron - I would actually go so far as to refuse to even discuss Arsenal or football in general with him. I am low on tolerance at the best of times but how the fcuk could you conversate with that moran ?
How would anyone "conversate" with him, that's my question. On the other hand if you mean "converse" then yes, I could see the negative in such a conversation. You semi-literate geebag.

Have you no drugs to deal, ponies to wash or houses to rob ? It would be more in your line to do your usual dublin knacker activities rather trying to disect all of my posts today

John Cross = the voice we all have in our anus. The voice that says yeah, go on, shit on her chest while she sleeps, she'll fucking LOVE it. The voice all of us (except Number 5) have learned to ignore.
I don't think that I have ever felt as emotionally drained or low as I feel right now - I know that I should be embarrassed admitting that but tbh I don't even care. As a few people have said before, it's the lack of hope that kills you and I no longer believe that wenker will fcuk off
he wont go, if he wins the FA cup then he'll think everyones behind him, shipping 18 goals against in 4 games against the top teams probably doesn't faze him, he wants silverware and the FA cup will have his handy contract extension tied to it

He won't leave until he wants to. He effectively runs the club from top to bottom, augie. But you know that. And I understand exactly how you feel. The worst part about Saturday was I wasn't even angry about it. I used to get angry after results like that. On Saturday I was just down, saddened, and not even slightly surprised.
Ditto last night. Was watching the Citeh v Filth game and when they announced we were 2-1 up I just thought "now how will we fuck this up" and when I heard that Calamity Chesney and Flamoneyburger had indeed fucked it up I just felt deflated again and not surprised again.
again, robson is not the sharpest nail in the box but he's dead on :
"Arsenal don’t earn the right to play. Every coach will send his team out and say, ‘before you can go and express yourself, you have to win the battle first. You have to earn the right to play, then once you have earned the right to play, now you can express yourself'. Unless teams drop off and allow Arsenal to play, they can’t cope with the physicality.
and if he's lost Bully, its really time to go Arsene :
This is not me trying to be controversial for the sake of it or just have a dig at Wenger for no reason but I 100% genuinly bleieve that we haven't a continental hope in hell of winning the FA Cup this year. A team of spineless bottle jobs led by an incompetent buffoon will find a way to muck this up just you watch.
After Birmingham this lot are a busted flush, so whether it be the semi or the mother of all blow outs in the final under special circumstances we will fcuk it up.

Robson certainly isn't the sharpest tool. And whilst what he says is one aspect of Wenger's failure, it's too simplistic an explanation. It's not all about physicality. It's also about the fact that Arsene does not believe in preparing his team to counteract the opposition's strengths. He doesn't do tactics. His myopic arrogance tells him his team is entitled to play tippy tappy passy pass pass and they are entitled to win doing so, as if the oppo will somehow recognise that Arsene is morally correct and they must bow down and let his team win, because that would be the decent thing to do.
