The flippers will soon turn again when we lose to Chelsea in the final and we watch them win the double (again) and Spurs finishing ahead of us in the league.. why I repeat why would you pay to watch this s**t?.
Self righteous, uber protestors, looking down from their self built lofty perches commenting on what everyone else hasn't done!
I think it's an unfair criticism really. We paid £550 for a bus and got 7 people. SEVEN...nobody wanted to go because there was no booze. I know some of the guys that are ALWAYS there must be looking around thinking what the hell is the point. I feel like that most of the time. And then of course there's Wenger and his devils luck.....
If you look at the majority of our fan base,we deserve him...Ian Wright is actually the walking, talking embodiment of the modern day, flip flopping Arsenal supporter. He's our cheerleader
I didn't want to go because there was no booze-its just that I went to the recent West Ham game, saw that there was no enthusiasm for any protest and just figured that this type of people would be present at the Cup semi final, and in even more hyped up AKB mode than usual.
(to be honest I don't identify with the majority of our match going fans anymore)
You should consider yourselves lucky that the bus received zero media coverage - because after the win yesterday I am afraid that you would be portrayed as ungrateful bastards - not a view that I agree with but there you go.
Well done for trying to do something...but I am afraid there will be little point to protests now for the rest of the season, now that Wenger has his cup final again
We are not stopping. We said we would carry on irrespective and we will. We are going to do things that don't require bodies.
How on earth can people now think all is well now we have made the final?? We had an incredibly easy run in and City are no great shakes themselves. The only reason we were such massive underdogs is because we have been so absolutely dreadful up to now.
Does anybody in their right mind think we will beat a well organized Chelsea team with an accountable manager.
Trying to get Wenger out is like willing a slug to complete a marathon. Not only is it painfully slow process, the fucking thing will often turn back and start going the wrong way.
But then ....... when it finallyyyyyyyy gets within distance of the finishing line and the torture looks like coming to and end … some no mark prick like Nacho fucking Monreal climbs over the barrier and pours salt on it … making it shrivel up and die!
My God what the fuck is this shit .. I must have gone fucking mad!!

Monreal....who has been at the forefront of virtually everything that has gone wrong on the pitch this season. I'm just surprised it wasn't Bellerin so Wenger could face those critics from Palace with his smarmy, smirking, told you so grin. The luck of the man......

Think someone else has previously mentioned the Extra time team talk from Wenger
It was comical, he looked lost, really was like watching Mr Bean......and when he did gather the players round half were not paying attention or listening....think it was only his mate Ramsey who was making an effort
Compare that with Gaurdiola, giving out what looked like direct tactical orders to each player all listening intently....

We have all been suffering so f'ing long under the reign and mis-management of wenger many have forgotten THAT feeling when we Win and that Buzz and Thrill lasts for days.... <sigh>
Maybe Im the problem but I was depressed all yesterday evening and have been all day today. Wenger has stolen the joy from me so much that I cannot even enjoy an FA Cup semi final victory anymore if he is involved.
I dont begrudge others who enjoyed the win ... I am envious of them in many ways ... but I just feel the progress (or what felt like progress) that was being made has been severely damaged, if not destroyed.

I know what you mean mate, but we mustn't give up hope and trying - "All Things Must Pass" and eventually the cun't WILL be gone...when ?? Who the fuckknows but at some point he WILL be no more. So hang in there watch the highlights form yesterday and do the 'magic' dance when Alexis slots that Winner in the Ole Onion Bag!

This sums up exactly how I feel. My sentiments entirely Clash. Fucking horrible position to find yourself in, but I can't delude myself.....yesterday's result is ultimately detrimental to the Club, just as the semi and final were in 2014.

Well we better get used to it as this is the level we will be at under SK, just like his s**t American teams, I bet Ivan has regretted those comments about competing with Bayern, SK wants to dumb us down to his level and count the cash, low risk, low ambition, low achievers.

If dumbing is down to his level mean having the third highest net spend after City and United since 13/14 season with a wage bill to match then I'd take it. Apples and oranges it is when comparing football clubs especially one of the biggest England with American sports franchises.

That made me smile at least : ))
