Arseblog is an utter twat, all he's doing is all he's ever done, sitting smack bang in the middle of the fence and every now and then has a nibble at the hand that feeds him, he'll get a small smack on the wrists from the club and he'll be back in wengers pocket by the time vardy reminds us why we bid for him in the first place.

Slagging off the team or the manager when its fashionable to do so, is easy. It takes a bit of backbone to call the club out, when we are heading towards another VT, after beating some relegation threatened dross. Like every other season, the media in general will criticise us, then go quiet, after we go on a mis-leading run, that suggests we could bid for the title. Then, when we are left seeking a CL place, they will describe it as Wenger's "greatest ever achievement". The only journalist, who seems to consistently call the club out on their bullshit, is Henry Winter.

Watch Lallana's run for his goal , he ran some 30 odd yards totally unopposed, not a player near him and nobody going towards him. You can blame the back 4 but it's a whole team collective of inability to defend.

Hello,

After the managers admission yesterday that "some players were not physically capable of competing", I would like to suggest that the club refund 50% of our admission money for yesterdays game.
That statement is absolutely scandalous, that a manager of a top Professional football club has failed to get his players fit for the first game of the season, the date of which he knew months ago.
An admission like that at any top club, other than Arsenal, would be like giving yourself the sack. That he is still manager of our club is a massive slight in itself.
That you expect supporters to pay top money to see a team that is not ready to play their first league game of the season is unbelievable and shows the contempt the club has for its own supporters.

A major complaint of people on here about modern football we want to be treated like fans now customers. This would seem to suggest that you're perfectly fine being treated like a customer, asking for a refund and all.

Believing you are owed money back because your team lost by one goal to a very good side on the opening day of the season is utterly ridiculous. The only time the club should have to refund money is if matches are abandoned and supporters are unable to attend the rescheduled fixture.

Liverpool aint a very good side, way too cautious in the first half.......they will struggle to make top 4....Arsenal were there for the taking
MOST premier teams would have beaten Arsenal on Sunday

Starting the first game of the season with Chambers, Holding, Coquelin, Elneny and Walcott makes a mockery of us masquerading as title challengers.

Yet again we go into the first game of the season not just under strength but undercooked and physically unprepared and yet again it's a first day humiliation in front of our own fans who s the m quite content for this to continue year on year.

The only joke is on the Arsenal fans. Why do the club care?

They have enough of a fan base both in this country, and overseas to sell that stadium out for pretty much every game. If the email was a genuine joke it was a complete waste of time and energy, not to mention the lacking humour.

Sorry you caught me in a bad mood today, I had to put up with deluded Gooner's inside the stadium yesterday that still back Wenger. Not sure that any of the regulars on this forum are chuckling at your "attempted" humour. Keep trying though.

Exactly these "Arsenal fans" are mostly the problem wankers who go with popular opinion, can't see shit in front of their own face

Any shock that such a poor and inexperienced defensive line shipped in four goals at home?

After the roaring success of Jenkinson and Chambers, nice to see Wenger continue his policy of plucking lower league players and thrusting them straight into our defence.



Just like Pat Rice before him, What does Steve Bould do to earn his wage?? It definitely ain't training our defence :roll:
Agree 100% with this.

I loved Steve Bould as a player but as Wenger's No2 he is just a pile of No2. A perfect example of someone who is prepared to act dumb and take the money on offer rather than tell his useless boss what a complete tosser he is. Like so many ex players I've lost all respect for Bould.

It's doubtful Bould would get a job anywhere else so that's likely why he keeps his mouth shut and does as told.

I remember a few years back people slagging off Pat Rice and now Bould is in the spotlight.

Could those critics having a go tell us how they know what Bould does at the moment and what they would like him to do?

Wenger rules the club as does Maureenho, Pep, Klopp etc. Are there any No.2s in the PL who do anything other than what their manager tells them to do?

I don't buy that with the jobs for the boys culture that exists in English football management - old boys from United and Arsenal can walk into good Championship (if not PL jobs) and don't forget that Bould's stock was very high at the time that he accepted the assistant job as he was perceived as masterminding our academy which was held in good esteem.
