I get fed up if we lose.
I get very fed up if it is to Spurs, Chelsea or West Ham.

I'm feeling more irritated with the Chavs humiliation as the week goes on.

It's like there's an angry alien in my chest, and at some point it's going to burst out :shock: (probably when Wenger announces a new contract :evil: )

I've been like this (minus the weird alien comment :lol:). I 100% expected us to be swept aside, I wouldn't have been surprised if we'd shipped in 3 or 4 but although I couldn't have expected 6 I just felt pretty numb. I think the fact that we were 3-0 down and a man short after 20 minutes or whatever made a difference - from that point on we all knew we were in for a dicking of 5+ and it was frankly boring having to sit through the rest of it (as well as highly humiliating). Whereas even after 60 minutes of the 8-2 drubbing it was only 3-1 after the hour mark.

You need some therapy mate. Personally I find that having a 'life anthem' that you can blast out helps you feel better.....so altogether now.......

ONE ARSENE WENGER.....THERE'S ONLY ONE ARSENE WENGER

Despair has taken over me today and have withdrawn into myself and haven't wanted to talk much with anyone - the missus keeps asking if I'm in bad form and I keep telling her that I am tired :oops: :oops:
Of course it didn't help when she started her morning by asking me if wenker had resigned yet :lol:

No, I'm not joking!
Most minor heart attacks go undetected. Same as minor strokes.

Hope you're going to be ok from now on. Your GP or the hospital should prescribe betablockers, alphablockers or whatever. Plus Statins.

Don't muck about with prescriptions. Your health is not just important to you. Your family and friends would be seriously affected if you popped your clogs.

Best wishes.

If you were being serious earlier spuddy, then I too would like to send my best wishes. I assumed that you were only messing about earlier and when nobody else commented on it then I thought that it must have been a wind up. Sorry :oops:

I get pissed off and irritated and in years gone by avoided all football until after enough time had passed, this time is no exception, I haven't watched any footie over the weekend but will watch tomorrow nights game between the manc teams.

It used to get me down a lot worse but thanks to Arsene I've gotten used to it, he's ruined a few days of my holidays even but I am determined it won't get me down for long now.

We've broken all types of records under Wenger, some glorious, others recently inglorious, the recent ones I am sure are down to Wengers ego.

Take the chelsea game, mourinho wound him up so wenger goes all out gung ho to prove the man wrong while mourhinho expected this reaction and had planned for it.

I disagree with most on here that wenger can't do tactics, his ego is so big that he thinks that he can beat the better teams with his brand of football and so very rarely changes things.

After all you only have to do a few coaching courses and you will need all you need to know about tactics.

Are you serious Spudmasher?
Thought you were joking?

If you did get ill, then all the best!

Some foods can help the heart: porridge, olive oil (cold pressed, teaspoon per day), oily fish etc.

I could have settled for many many years of everything if you had simply left me in my Highbury Home but no they had to wreck it and have me pay for, I just feel like a mug punter .
The disconnect from the old Home is huge for me as I come from Highbury and whilst I moved around in my life the stadium and Highbury fields still feel like it's home for me .
Whenever I was out in the car ,I always fouind and excuse to drive past and around the old ground.
Just bought the cheapest tickets available for the semis as i couldnt give a shit and might not even come over !

Crikey, get well soon Spudmasher, take it easy!.

I used to get incredibly worked up during matches, screaming and shouting obscenities, and be a total and utter misery after defeats.

I'm a lot more relaxed these days, I suppose when the expectations are lower, defeats are easier to take. Been through something of a life change in recent times which means things are put more easily into perspective.

It actually makes the whole experience much more pleasant, as opposed to the torture it once was.
