Oh, f*ck off Arsene

I, and many others, do try our best to support your "experiment" - but when I'm forking out between Â£40-70 for a ticket then I expect the best.. and when you keep Â£30m of our money in your pocket instead of improving our squad, then is it any wonder we're frustrated?

the defensive side of our game is utter shite, and our team seems to pick and choose when they fancy it... and don't have a go at the fans, when your team - made in your image! - can't raise themselves to play Hull, Fulham or Sunderland

I like you Arsene.. and I'll support the team the best I can, but don't take the piss!

And if you are so concerned about the atmosphere, then convince Hill Wood and co. to expand RedAction to the whole of the north end (upper and lower) and not just that poxy little "token" section in the corner.

PS - keep up the good work, and good luck on Sunday

Not quite an "attack on the fans" but still a bit fucking cheeky when they are throwing our fans out for standing up to sing and chant...

bizarre...

i think wenger is right, with a young team we need a better atmosphere at the emirates. as wenger says the younger they are the more support they need and he is right. when we are losing/under pressure, looking for a goal we need the fans and the atmosphere to encourage, and as they say the kop do suck the ball into the net. all you get at the emirates is moans and groans. you could tell on saturday with it being our next league game after hull that the 1st 20 minutes the players were nervous. when it gets to 1-1 like it did at hull, us as fans should realise we need to get behind the team instead most sit back moan,groan and shout.

The club havent done anything to help themselves tho by having 7000 co-operate fans every game. these people turn up, sit down with their prawn sandwiches and just expect us to turn it on and win every game. the club also do nothing to help improve the atmosphere at home. Thats why and i know a lot wont agree with me i apprecaite that redaction actually try and do something to improve the atmosphere, by encouraging people to bring scarves to games, start most of the chants at home, getting new chants familarised in the rocket, trying to create a pre match atmosphere like it is away from home.

spurs game, flyers outside the tube stations, on the north bridge, outside the armoury with STAND UP FOR THE ATMOSPHERE and if the old bill kick up a fuss, direct them towards some of the wankers flogging tickets 10 times face value

if someone can find me a match ticket (at face value plus a pint?

) i will fly down from aberdeen to hand em out too

this is arsenal supporters trust view on it.

'The Arsenal Supporters' Trust shares Arsene Wenger's view that the matchday atmosphere at the Emirates sometimes needs galvanising

'The existing Red Action fan group do a great job with introducing initiatives and calls to get behind the team, but they need more help from the club to get their ideas across.

'The Trust would like to see the club work with supporter groups to address this.

'We believe that through the use of giveaways such as red and white scarves, better music and using the scoreboard that the club and fans could improve the atmosphere.

'Sometimes Arsenal's fans forget just how young our players are given their quality and that they need encouragement on the pitch.

'Wenger himself should appeal to the fans for more support. As his performance at today's AGM demonstrated he is passionate and persuasive about his players.'

This is Eddie McHelderick's view on it.....

RedNoAction are more interested in karaoke's and raffles!

Also most of them are shirt lifters!

Don't like REDaction as a group.. ..but I do appreciate the effort. They should expand it to the whole Lower North imo.
