time to get behind almunia

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.

Hopefully the keepers buckle down, get more confident. Command there defence, make impressive saves, and become loved
Granted every keeper makes mistakes. Prime example of Almunia was Barcelona at home last season, brilliant first half, within 30 seconds of the restart caught in no-mans-land and handing over an easy chance for the opening goal. Bar Flappyanski I can't think of another top flight keeper who makes as many mistakes as consistently as Almunia.

That said, while he wears an Arsenal shirt I'll support him in the same way every player in an Arsenal shirt gets supported. The blame for having an inadequate keeper lies squarely at the managers door.

Whether you think Manuel is good enough or not does not matter as simply the man management of him has been disgraceful!

:oops:
Only 100% support for Wenger is allowed in the People's Democratic Republic of Arsenal.

Thing is a lot of people post their discontent on here but I bet the same people sing "one arsene wenger" at the away games.

Most of the away gooners I speak to are pissed off with how things are being run at the moment, but when the 1AW song gets going, every fucker still sings it :banghead: :banghead:

This.

Sczesney is bound to make mistakes, but he'll learn from these mistakes. Almunia has gone beyond the stage of his career where he will learn from mistakes. Flappyhandski is simply awful and will make mistake after mistake and then stand there with a confused look on his face.

The only thing is, if we get behind him, Wenger thinks we're happy with him.

If we boo him, that's the only way AW will understand exactly what we think of both Almunia, and the guy selecting him.

People power worked in getting Eboue off the pitch at Wigan, why can't it work again?

Almunia's cost us how many leagues and points now? I've done the whole getting behind him thing, but no more. If Almunia gets pissed off at fans turning against him, then it's Wenger who has to be held responsible.

100% agree

LET THIS BE SAID NOW - ANYONE WHO SINGS THAT 1 WENGER SONG IS A BRAIN DEAD PRICK!

What a joke we have become when the spuds buy a 3rd keeper that is better than our number 1

I for one will not get behind that fucking *word censored* Alshite. I would be delighted if he was roundly booed when his name is read out at the Bolton game.

Fuck Almunia, and Wenger.

Almunia lost us the European Cup in 2006. And also the Semi final in 09 Utd second leg.

And the title last season after dozens of mistakes and then finally at Birmingham. NOTHING BUT AN UTTER USELESS *word censored*.
