Ok mate. You're probably right. Maybe I was a bit abrupt. In my defence I find reformed AKB's worse than reformed smokers.
The Arsenal has given me some of the best days of my life. But also.....
Ive been spat on, slapped abused and almost arrested because of the Arsenal. Sometime I get a little impatient with those who were part of the problem only now seeing the light.
And BB welcome back.
More sanctimonious rhetoric, I think you find the majority of this board especially the ones from the noughties are ex AKB's, rosetinters etc. with the Invincibles, CL Final and a brand new stadium fresh in the mind all slowly converted as their frustration grew some quicker than others which is normal particularly on a debating forum as peeps were defending AW and their own position into the bargain as they had previously backed him to the hilt (see me
) then you have the audacity to come on here pontificating that you find reformed AKBs worse than reformed smokers, whatever that means
when you joined the forum AFTER I had already started calling for a change
One more thing I did not post just to complain about the forum as my first post was the following and my old nemesis was the first to comment

Good to see you posting again BB - I think that we see haleys comet more than we see you (our absent mod
)
................... I was simply replying to his humorous tagline, explaining why!!!
apart from that - it's good to be back thanks
I suppose now would be a good time to explain my position on AW especially within this forum, I don't believe he is despotic, certainly not when you compare to the likes of AF and Maureen, I don't believe he does only what's best for him altho that view would change if I find that he refused to give way to Guardiola if he was willing or waiting contact from us, as a matter of fact I would be fuckin pissed
but I also think there is an extremely caring almost paternal side to him, I therefore don't think he's a c**t............ however
I do think that this lies at the root of our problems in that the players he has assembled have nothing to fear if they don't perform and it's human nature not to break sweat unless pushed, which was alright when you had die hard players at the club who would give you a kick up the arse when required as AW only seems to lose his rag after a complete meltdown, we all love to hate the scumbag that is John Terry but look what he brings to the Chelsea dressing room!
We've too few if any leaders, I don't see the same passion, aggression and sheer presence that undoubtedly won us games sometimes even before we set foot on the pitch with players admitting that Arsenal beat them in the tunnel, look at the drastic downturn in ManUre's fortunes cos teams who used to go there simply not to get a trimmin are now goin for the 3 points - simply put we need a couple of warhorses in the middle of the park as the balance of the squad is off, only time will tell if Xhaka can........................... I'll get me coat
- and it is not coming back - Not even when Wenger eventually fucksoff - So as much as we may do 'in-fighting' on here - and yes we all do it - Let us remember "Wenger Out" and the sooner that happens - we can at least (hopefully) begin to feel less frustrated and angry.
