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.

Wow not even our beloved Wenger fluffers at Red Action achieved that!

I know mate..I feckin know...I truly don't know what we as Fans - have to do or resort to in order to wake the *word censored* (& the board) up out of their comatose arrogance and ignorance...
Especially when he turns around and says things like this
"We live in a society of total opinion but we live off not what we say but what we do and what we do is on the pitch,"
Can he not see that he is shooting himself in the foot with the last part of that statement...it beggars belief..I was so hopeful last week that the tide in all areas was beginning to turn against him - and yet you get the media *word censored* changing with the wind and ex-players are loyal beyond their own thinking and opinions, it's almost as if they're afraid to say anything too controversial - maybe it's because they still get their freebies with Arsenal etc
Well Done to The Gooners who showed the Banner
It is Disgusting. Fuckk the lot of them - WENGER OUT!
Have to say that having been next to the banner being unveiled yesterday I reckon I witnessed a bit of history! I think the fact that it has hit the headlines on the back of 2 wins makes it all the more powerful. Of course the papers are saying it's ludicrous that it was shown but if we'd lost they would have been 100% behind it. They clearly don't get that a win at The Hawthorns doesn't alter anything about the last few years of mis-management and I'm delighted that Wenger looks like he's been hurt by this show of defiance. Mind you it'd be interesting to know how the players felt coming over to clap us and staring at the banner!!
Well done lads

Twitter alive with it this morning. One AKB , and he is not young, calling those carrying the banner "dickheads" for having the cannon the wrong way around. Corrected on that. Quite a lot against it, had a reasonable debate with one such person. He believes it is not the Arsenal way, I admire his values but as someone pointed out it wasn't the Arsenal way to go behind Don Howe's back in 1986 either.
I appreciate and admire those who had the guts and commitment to display the banner yesterday. It is better after a win as it looks like a protest rather than a reaction. Beating Dortmund , in their current state, and beating West Brom are results that should be happening regardless. We will revert to type soon or at least when we play a top team.

Steve mcmanaman was the worst... started banging on about Wenger deserving more respect than "a banner like that".
As far as banners against managers go it's pretty respectful if you ask me. It even thanks him!!
Piss off, stupid scouse *word censored*. Always lipping off when it comes to anything other than Heysel.[/quote]
Firstly Heysel didn't happen, actually there was never a stadium called Heysel, actually there was but Cockneys ran amok in it and got Liverpool blamed.
More importantly Mc Manaman is a tool, one who loves to put the boot into Arsenal at every opportunity, part of the ex Liverpool mafia that congests media like sh*t congests a broken toilet . Yet given the opportunity to identify the source of the problems he loves to highlight he is clueless.

Most of them are still young and utterly impressionable - - - which is understandable - Anyone under the age of 25/26 who has been given the opportunity by someone [Wenger] who once was considered one of the finest innovators and managers in Football -- to play on the world stage of football is going to be loyal etc until they are mature and experienced enough to have thoughts of their own.
I mean look at Cesc - he has said on numerous occasions wenger was like a father to him - and yet he is now saying he is enjoying his football more than any other time...which speaks volumes.
Yesterday got to the core of why Wenger will never be under pressure at the club. one league win, against a West Brom side in terrible form, and suddenly everything is great again. The AKB'S are in full voice, and we are close to 4th. The loser mentality that exists amongst some supporters at this club is pathetic.
On Sunday supplement today, one fella (from the sun ) agreeing with everything that we say about ticket prices and what we have every right to expect from the club and manager. He then goes on to say he doesn't consider keeping one of the top 10 clubs in the world, in the top 4 in England, as being successful.
The other two then belittle him with finishing fourth, FA cup winners is successful and if anyone deserves a chance to get it right it's Wenger!!
One of them, who is supposedly "close to the board", said that they are 100% behind him and unwavering in their support of him.
They also seem to think the banner was suddenly knocked up on the back of the Anderlecht, Swansea and Manc results
