Even if united win the league and CL, they'll still be looking to improve, so resting on their laurels. Wish we had half their ambition

You all saw for yourselves today. It truly is unbelievable how spectacularly shit this Arsenal squad are. Swansea are a dreadful Champonship team and they looked every inch Arsenal's equals today, it was shambolic.
The decision to not purchase a quality striker with pace a la Benzema/Higuain/Nilmar is an absolute fucking joke.

But £25 million in profits has been registered at the expense of the team!

Aaron Ramsey was supposed to be Cesc's natural replacement. Oh how I laugh at the people who said this a few months back. The same people who said Cesc would warm the bench at Barca (even though I have just seen him score for Barca, for the third game in succession).

Wenger has ruined this squad and it is unacceptable. I foresee teams like Stoke, Wigan, Bolton and West Brom all turning Arsenal over away from home. AT home, Arsenal are incapable of scoring more than one league goal. They are blunt in attack.

We are now hearing the usual apologists say 'the squad needs time'.

THIS WAS FUCKING SWANSEA!

Fergie signed a load of new players, Mancini signed even more but they destroy weak teams. Arsenal suffer to beat Swansea at home, that is how pathetic this club has become under Wenger.

It does not matter who Wenger signs, they'll never gel because there is NO tactical cohesion or plan, there is no spirit and team belief in the squad, there are arrogant mercenaries strutting about and there is a fundamental lack of balls. Fergie has finished Wenger with that 8-2 and Wenger's reputation will never Ever recover from this. Wenger has fucked Arsenal.

I am disappointed in Arsenal fans. I spke to an Evertonian fan friend this morning and he asked me 'Why do the Arsenal fans not just vote with their feet?'.

The Everton fans - wee Everton - managed to get the BBC to focus coverage on their silent protest against Kenwright. Mighty Arsenal, the biggest club in London have many fans too scared to show a fucking pair and just stop attending games. Liverpool fans did it with Hodgson and he was out the door within two weeks. Even stupid Geordies can mobilise and deserted St James when Souness lost the plot.

Yet apparently, many Arse fans are just too addicted to giving away thousands of pounds to watch some of the biggest work-shy *word censored* to ever wear the shirt. Yep, how hard is it to decide 'Enough is enough' and stop going to watch Diaby, Song, Gibbs, Djourou, Koscielny, Chamakh and co and PAY for the 'privilege'? When is enough enough?

You've just watched the biggest club in London scrape a fortunate win at home to a Championship side with a wage bill not even a quarter ours and yet they 'need time to gel'?

I jacked my ST in and my silver membership two years ago. It is the best decision I have made in two years. Mind you, perhaps our classy club was too busy on transfer deadline day suing old Spanish ladies with hat shops baring names they don't like....

Today proved a few things:

A few signings are not going to change anything very much because this manager simply cannot organise or motivate a team any more.

Gibbs is totally out of his depth and cannot be the first choice left back.

Walcott is fast and that is about it. No intelligence and an average player. Unfortunately we are going to have to suffer him for years to come. The English Thierry Henry! :roll:

Ramsey makes Song look good at the moment - how scary is that?

Clinging on for a win against Swansea shows how poor this squad is (so much for the ‘response’ after the Old Trafford humiliation). Thank you Wenger. Please leave our Club.

Good post. Yes we are a total shambles but the applause at the end shows that some people will put up with anything because unconditional support proves you are a real fan. :roll:

So a team with three new signings, a left back, centre back and two centre midfielders desperate to cement their places, three forwards even more desperate for goals and the whole club badly needing to respond to the raping at Utd played with the 'handbrake off'

Those of us who claimed new signings alone wouldn't revitalise the club have been proved right by that statement.

He has to go but what's the fucking point moaning about it anymore, he's staying.

I pretty much agree with this.

AW is no longer capable of building and motivating a winning team.

He has not improved the quality of the squad in recent years. This is a fatal error on his (and the boards) part.

The plastics and AKB's will not take part in a protest and they will continue to feed the cash to the greedy board.

Until the money stops flowing this situation will not change, although I suspect AW will be sectioned long before a sacking or resignation is considered.

There is a trickle of people who have stopped giving the club money - I am one of them. Next year there will be plenty more.

They are milking the loyalty of the real fans and I will not get fucked over by them.
