I can do it tonight ?
Cheers mate! :barscarf: That would be great!

I know I can use any old clock but the proper old school Clock End style makes the point much better especially as it dates back to Herbert Chapman's time! :barscarf:

Before Arsene FC 1996 :cussing:

You need to change tactics youve done the protest you got noticed.

a natural progrssion is to take it to london colney !

I dont beleive in taking it to their homes but london colney is the office like the ground.

dont need many for it !

Just a thought, but is there any risk that by focusing on the 10-2, it looks like we're protesting because of that result rather than the bigger picture (i.e. 7-8 years of these types of results)?

The AKBs often accuse us of kneejerk reactions, and I'd hate for us to play into Wenger's narrative that we can't judge his career based on the last two weeks.

Obviously everyone on here knows this isn't about any one specific result, but the more casual observer might take it the wrong way.

Yea...food for thought. They will grab any lifeline and spin it. It is a great banner but that's exactly what he'll say...his answer to it will be "Judge me in May" Like 4th place erases ALL the seasons horrors......It is so screamingly frustrating.

If we win 4 - 0 on Sat..it'll be the BT boys with "Surely they can't complain now" They just don't get that it's a decade of misery that we are complaining about.

I did tell ya didn't I? :rubchin:
I also told ya hed be gone at the end of this season......

Apologies accepted from all the poo pooers. :D

I get your point Voice, but we can over-think things sometimes...it's a result of our paranoia at the bullshit we've heard from the Club and media over the years. We have to be careful to avoid sticking our chin out with daft faux pas, but there's been so much good feedback on here, that I think we'll avoid them. The danger with worrying too much about what could possibly be thrown back can paralyse you with fear and nothing takes place.

Not having a pop at you here mate, your feedback is exactly the good stuff that I'm referring to above and needs to be voiced 8) .

The 10 - 2 is bang on topical and using the Clock End clock is a genius idea. They'll try to belittle and snipe at anything we do, but it's all about our constant drum banging taken as a whole and I think this idea is a great addition.

No, that's all fair enough, and didn't think you were having a pop either! The 10-2 Clock poster does look pretty good tbh, so anything that we can use against him is worth it. We all want the same thing after all!

I have a feeling that this protest is gonna be treated differently by both the club and the old bill.
Me being a suspicious fecker reckons that the club will be having words with its stewards and the old bill about this. They have previous for this. Remember them in cahoots with City stewards confiscating anti-Wenger banners last season?

We have to be prepared to not get such an easy ride this time around.

Make sure if there is any hassle from stewards, police or indeed AKB's we take plenty of photos and videos.

Well said!

Just out of interest is it expensive to hire a plane and a huge BANNER trailing behind ? I'd contribute to that without fail.
Knowing our luck 10 German bombers would shoot it out the sky or a wayward giroud effort fucks it up.
