Open letter to Manuel Almunia

IMO its the managers fault for NOT addressing our obvious goalie problems.
I know Almunia isnt much good,but think back a week ago when he saved the west Ham penalty...Can we just stick together for another 6-7 games please.

Yeah right mate, I'm sure our 6 foot 4 inch crap goalie would shit his pants at the prospect of facing you...

Why blame Almunia? Wenger signed him, Wenger calls him world class, Wenger picks him most games. The blame lies at one mans door.
Almunia goes out and does what he does, just because he's shit he's not gonna say 'I won't play today boss cause I'm crap' is he!!?? :roll:
Still, we'll sign some unknown 20 year old keeper for 2m in the summer and he'll be world class (sic)

I blame them both.

Really, if Almunia had any character at all, he'd say "Enough is enough, I'm doing nothing but fucking up Arsenal FC and its chances of trophies, and it's unfair to my team-mates and the fans who shell out thousands of pounds to follow us. I don't want to be held accountable for dragging everyone else down, so it's only right that I step down".

But instead, he continues to make everyone's life a misery and collects his £40k+ wage packet every week for having a negative impact on his place of work.

Wow, wish I could get that gig.

spot on. tomorrow i'm gonna play footie, and the keeper is the worst player on our team. do i blame him? NO! he wants to be as good as seaman was, but he just isn't that good. he is not a *word censored*, doesn't pretend to be god, he is just shit (and is very sad about that, he'd love to be a david seaman). why we still play him? because we don't have a choice. he is what we have.

manuel almunia tries his best, he wants to be a very good goalkeeper. you CAN blame lack of determination and desire, but you CANNOT blame lack of quality, though. Of course he'll play, he gets payed for that, he won't come out and admit "i'm a huge pile of crap", specially since he is the best keeper in our squad.

there's only one man to blame, and that is arsene wenger. this is the THIRD season in a row where we don't have a goalkeeper. goalkeepers are the CHEAPEST players, look at how much given cost to manshitty.

I'M GUTTED, and that is because mr. wenger is the man to blame. we have an excellent squad, but a good team is nothing without a good keeper. and i thought wenger would have learned that by now.

I'd say it's the other way around, personally. He tries his best, but he's just shit. End of.
