Tonight I am doing something I have never done in my 23 years of supporting Arsenal, and that is to choose to do something else over Arsenal. I'm not going to watch, listen or follow the game. You know how it is usually, it's only weddings or funerals that take priority over an Arsenal game - but tonight I just can't be fucked.
Is anyone else feeling like this - before anyone throws any accusations as a school kid there were me and one other kid who were Arsenal, I remember wetting myself in 1985 I think it was that Ian Allison made it into double figures as a leading goal scorer with 11!
For the first time I've found myself looking at Wenger these past three days and started to wonder. Apologies for this nonsensical post - just need to dump my thoughts somewhere.
Watching them when they play like Saturday 2nd half leaves me feeling numb and hating the game. Still love the Arsenal and can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon(3pm kick off would be nice eh Sky

) but it's just getting depressing.
I'm not an uber-fan but I'm also starting to hate the gooners that sit around me at the Grove. Away games are good for the banter, the chanting(why can't we get some new bloody songs), the journey back when we get a result but even the away games are starting to get a breed of tosser, I blame the away ticket scheme.
I'm starting to feel like a bloody junkie who keeps shooting up and getting small highs but a long downer, which comes quickly and lasts too bloody long.
We don't have to win every game but can't we at least give it a go. Why do we have to keep playing the same way when it's getting nowhere. Why do we keep players that are clearly not good enough. Why will I be standing in the Deadly Doug stand screaming abuse everytime Ashley Young goes down far too f***ing too easily come Saturday lunch time ?
I only know the answer to one of those questions, the others only our club and manager can sort out.
Till then we carry on and keep our fingers crossed that AA23 stops running down Hleb-like culdesacs. Walnutt figures out how to run WITH the ball, Cesc comes out of the fog that's stilting him this season, Fabianski keeps defying the reality of the fact that he's crap and AW remembers that he used to be a formidable manager not some blinkered old fool too stubborn to change.
BTW did watch the game in the pub but expected to lose or draw so wasn't disappointed.
