As for Wages, yes we do pay high wages but if we did'nt we would lose even more players to the circling vultures....

Yeah, paying our best players not enough, so any rich club can easily double their wages, also paying stupidly high salaries to shit players, so no club would touch them. Wenger truly is a genius. :roll:

'Johny' Ooops So we are so far behind that just the odd 20/30 Million in comparrison to their 100's of Millions would have won us the PL. Not far behind at all then. (as for those damn paragraphs, I keep typing with them they're just not posting)

During our drought we HAVE been competative, a few finals including One in the CL as well as running the title race close a couple of times. OK we came up short but you cannot say that we hav'nt been 'competative' If you want not 'competative' take a look at Liverpool and Spurs for that...despite spending fortunes. Also take a look at there efforts for a new Stadium, Liverpool are as far away as ever and Spurs have taken to holding out a begging bowl. Look I am genuinely sorry if I've rubbed a few of you up the wrong way. I'm not a WUM or a 'jolly come lately' I've followed Arsenal since the late 60's but I just think Arsenals critics and Wengers inparticular have got the whole thing miles out of proportion. Without doubt many of the points raised are correct, and of course my views are wrong in a lot of peoples eyes, but they are my views and I am entitled to them as are you yours and weather it is my first second or one hundreth post is irrelivant. One last point..I have been called a c**t, told to F..off, given the finger and called a WUM turd. I am not so prudish as to give a second thought to such insults but please do get off your high horse just because I called you a bunch of whingeing neg heads....because rightly or wrongly thats exactly what you are.

Bet you have never been called a *word censored* pussy :lol:

Last season the league was there for the taking and if we had better defenders and a better keeper it could have won us the damn thing but we started with Almunia and he cost us points, him alone cost us points. Now it has been clear to all of us Almunia wasnt good enough for 3 years maybe more!!!

It has been clear for years now that defensively we arent strong enough but Wenger still wont buy the players to sort that or wont change his tactics so not to expose our frailties but he doesnt therefore we fall away when the going gets tough year after year and that isnt good enough for Arsenal

Well my first impression was you are a bunch of neg heads. My second was that your are a bunch of foul mouthed neg heads. My third was that you are a bunch of foul mouthed neg heads that disagree with me by a ratio of about 1000 to one. But hey what the f**k you'll all feel pretty silly when we win the treble this year!!!

I made a sincere attempt to answer your question, and wasn't foul-mouthed at all.

I replied to your question, stating what I thought were our faults and what could have been done to rectify it.

Obviously you haven't read all the replies, so I find it a bit weak of you to tar everyone with the same brush.

Shame on you.

he clearly only answers the questions that he wants. he won't come and try to explain 80% of the points we're trying to make here.

it's easier to avoid the truth than it is to face it.

the good thing is that with time, there will be fewer and fewer people like him. don't forget i was on the other side of the fence not long ago.

i would even go on to say that by the end of this season the wengerists will be the huge minority.

I've sussed the paragraph issue I think.

If you preview it prior to posting it reconfigures the post without paragraphs

But....

If you submit without first previewing it posts as typed..

...at least I think thats the problem.

Here goes!!
