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.
I thought everyone was in on the joke that we have 'Mental stwengff'?
It is beyond parody now. Almost everything since 2008 has been a stain on The Arsenal. Our overpaid fraud of a manager is a serial bullshit artist who'd rather have a squad of ballet dancers than re-create the Invincibles. Without the likes of David Dein on the board and Tony Adams, et al, on the pitch, we are absolutely spineless. The captaincy has been disrespected for years. It's an embarrassment.

These players should be forced to read up and watch some footage about Tony Adams - a man written of by this country in 1988 when the world's best striker Van Basten rinsed him and hounded as a donkey at every ground he played on. Never once did I see the guy go into hiding or shirk a challenge - in fact sometimes he was so desperate to make up for his mistakes he would almost over commit and end up sent off or with an own goal against him on occasion.....but more often than not he'd snuff out the oppo centre forward and put everything on the line to keep a clean sheet. There isn't a player we've had since PV4's departure to even come close. The list of captains we've had since then has been a fucking embarrassment - none more so than Gallas, closely followed by that snidey Chav c.unt who dicked us today and patted the crest on his pikey Chav shirt
Still with a manager who says "captaincy is overplayed" and values "rotational leadership" what fucking hope is there
Tony Adams had more dedication, determination and fight in one toe than just about any of those pampered bottle jobs.
Cech is a top pro and Sanchez is somebody you would go into war with but apart from that.
He said in one of the press match quotes that we should be more confident going forward after todays match because of the performance we turn in with 10 men

Haven't seen them but likewise Scholes was last year. He might be a gormless prick and a shit pundit but it was embarrassing to hear Wenger use his usual 'not worked a day in management' to pretend that a bloke who won 11 PLs, 3 FA Cups and 2 CLs isn't qualified to pass comment on whether a team looks capable of winning titles etc.
