NO EXCUSE FOR LEAVING EARLY

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.

Spot on N7.

We don't need people who leave early. We want people who are prepared to back the club win lose or draw, right to the end.

Today I was sitting in a different seat to the one I normally occupy. I was in row 10 block 131. There were 2 guys in front of me calling Arsenal players all the names under the sun; 4 other guys in my row upped and left after Chelsea's 2nd goal. Nobody was clapping anything we did. But the worst bit of all was that apart from me and about half a dozen other people, nobody in that first 10 rows stood on their feet when Nicky Bendtner scored. I couldn't believe my eyes.

This club has too much dead wood passing as so-called fans. They're just lazy spineless wasters who should be watching games on TV like they used to before Arsenal became a fashion choice. We don't need you, we don't want you. Sod off to Man U Chelsea or Liverpool.

Ok I'm a season ticket holder and I NEVER leave a game early, whether we are winning or losing.

Easy for me to say that I can walk to the ground in 40 minutes if I have to, so whether 'fans' leave early or not I don't really care, it's there prerogative, moaning about them is never going to change this fact.

I met up with a top guy today, forum member, Pal Lydersen, who flew in from Dublin had to be up at 5am and he gets over at least 12 times a season, and its fans like this that I really respect.

We are all one as Arsenal fans, and to continue moaning and slagging everyone of is unforunately not going to change this sad aspect.

Why are we still wasting time and effort moaning at fellow fans for leaving early with all the shit that's being served up on the field.

By the way, I'm not one who leaves early before everyone starts piling in. I've left early twice in 30 years...once when we were 1-5 down at OT at half time and Luzhny and Stepanovs were driving me towards suicide, and the other 0-3 down at home to Boro with a few minutes left (the day of the 2 comedy own goals).

I could not give a flying fuck if all those around me leave early. If they miss a goal isn't that enough punishment ?

And as repeated many times before it most certainly is not only us who suffer this fan reaction, nor are we the worst. The Mancs left their ground less than half empty when 1-4 at home to Liverpool (and were still top of the league)
