Sadly I regret to inform SteveO that there was a small rendition of TO1AW by a couple in front of me as he walked to the corner waving!
I knew it. I could hear the "He's won more than you" song which apparently has been doing the rounds these past couple of weeks. Unluckily for him, the Shammers fucked it up good and proper today because if we fly swatted Sunderland away on Tuesday and it resulted in 4th place I feel certain there would have been more than a few singing it in the bowl. I can sense from the crowing I've heard from AKBs this past week that the old flip floppers have been ready to turn back towards Wenger. Given that they are a fickle bunch of c,unts though who only live for the Be All and End All there will be no big love in at the end of this season.
Finish 5th, get a mauling in the cup final and follow that up with the umpteenth shit Summer transfer window and I will be reaching out to my network for a first freebie for next season's opening home match, as it will be 10x more toxic than when we got bummed by Villa a couple of years back.
There's no way anyone of any note will join Wanker's Thursday night club, so we'll be sat up until midnight on the day the window closes desperately trying to find out if Ben Gibson's paperwork was rushed through in time

Would have less impact if that lunch was a £12 fish and chips meal deal with a warm bottle of pisswater Carlsberg bought from the stadium.
Would give more time for shopping for merchandise in the Armoury too.
See some genius on Twitter having a go at a planned boycott of the Sunderland game..His logic is that it won't work because a lot of people were not going anyway...wants to know if the WOB will claim it a a victory?
Ive managed to sell my tickets for Sunderland and Everton so im very happy .
Ive decided NOT to go to the final either My son and Nephew will represent the family instead.
Next season i will rent both seats out . Im done with Wenger the club and the shits that we employ to play but only do so when they can be arsed which isnt very often.

Um wouldn't it be, by definition, a victory if a lot of people decide not to go if a boycott was planned.....seems logic is lost on some people in the social media world

That is so defeatist...no it has not. We cannot and do not rely on the flip floppers..... The hardcore are not dazzled by the cup final....Armchair, Jumpers, MattyB, Nick....and there will be others. 10 banners gets the media talking..we are trying to get people now and get the right banners so they can get them in.

The match report in the Daily Mirror is sickening - it calls the plane banner "the worst of Arsenal" and those that organised it as "purporting to support the club".
It also lavishes praise on Wenger saying that despite the struggle to get into the top 4 that he refuses to change his playing style - totally missing the point that it is precisely because he is so stubborn that we won't finish in the top 4!!!

Likewise - wasn't a particularly difficult decision about the final to be honest as Wembley is a dump and a shit trip. Can't be playing the FA Cup final in Cardiff but as a host venue it was immeasurably better.
To be honest it's just not a massively enjoyable experience going any more for me - certainly to home games. It is mainly Wenger and the succession of fairly talented but absolutely spineless teams- the sense of inevitability isn't massively exciting. But it is also the atmosphere at games and the fact that at least some areas of the stadium are packed full of uninterested day-trippers who turn up late, leave early, spend the whole game on their phones or talking about their accumulators or their kids school or whatever and generally show no passion and little interest.
I am moving to the north east next year so will probably do Newcastle away and that's it.

Rob, I no longer give a rats A$$ what the media think...Alan Parry is another one..4th is not good enough for some people. Right, you got it in one, IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Our club, it's about time we were allowed to set the standards. Why is it OK for clubs to want more but not us??? AS I said I no longer care about their opinion, put the pics in your crappy papers, that's all we care about. If I was a multi millionaire there would be a WENGER OUT plane up there for every hour of daylight during every single day. Buy an old building in London just to hang gigantic WENGER OUT banners off.
And for the Thousandth time...WE DO SUPPORT THE CLUB...We DO NOT support the manager. Despite his claims, they are NOT the same thing.

Thing is this just isn't me I was a fanatic ,went everywhere home and away and abroad even when people didn't go so much ,I've seen them in Miami and Malaysia pre season and have stolen,hitchhiked ,jibbed trains in order to get to a match !
I'd like to be angry but I struggle to care !
Fair play to the second plane caught Jardines on the hop |!
Thank god for these protests, and the lower the key makes the element of surprise even better...
You can see how irritated the pensioner is getting, bit like a mosquito in the room that you can hear but not find...
The special effects on buildings was another massive win, again low key but the element of surprise was tremendous..
Wenger seems to have surpassed himself in the last few days with his nonsense about teams not having possession, selectively complaining about teams being on holiday …. and with he general arrogant dismissiveness or feigning ignorance on a matter.
And doesn’t he realise that people with tickets choosing not to attend is a far worse reflection on him and his team than people not buying those tickets in the first place? A sold out event with thousands of empty seats really is shameful for those selling the tickets.
Also, how strange for such a great economist as Wenger that he doesn’t seem to be able to grasp the fact that the plane and other protest were funded by hundreds of not very rich fans contributing affordable amounts to create a larger amount.
It’s the same for that wanker Alan Parry. I despise this whiny voiced prick. He has form for sneering at Arsenal fans being critical of Wenger. As far back as 2011 when we lost at Bolton (the last game Fabregas played for us) where he was incredulous at the ‘temerity’ of our fans questioning a failing manager.
As DB10G rightly says, this parasite has probably not paid to get into a football ground for decades and yet he feels he can judge those who do. Commentators are paid to describe the action, not to give us their opinions on matters that are nothing to do with them and which they have no knowledge of.
The trouble with Parry is he thinks he is talking for the ‘man in the street’ Fuck off you flat-faced, squared headed cuunt!
I am sick of these people on the gravy train showing how thick and out of touch they are and how they are constantly try to sell the product they are beneffitting from. One of the reasons modern football is so fucking shit is because its all about image and how it is marketed. Absolute disgrace that the working mans passion has been hijacked like this and then been sold to scum like Kroenke. What does Parry have to say about that? Fuck all!
Parry is probably a millionaire now thanks to the way the game has changed so please spare us the ‘I’ve got the common touch’’ bullshit. Back in the 80s you had nothing same as the rest of us … and it was the likes of those who funded that plane and the other protests who kept football going back then to provide you with what you have now.
(rant over - and sorry if this is on the wrong thread)

Regarding Mr Parry, I think Clash's highly perceptive analysis, shown in bold, perfectly sums the matter up, there's no more to add and the issue can be laid to rest. Made me laugh out loud in Pret.
