ARSENAL’S FANS SHOULD STAND AND ASK FOR KROENKE EXIT by MA
I have been an Arsenal fan since the first time I saw the red and white jersey raising majestically high in the sky of Highbury. My family’s older generations have always been Liverpool supporters. But my heart beats for Arsenal and I am proud to be a Gunner.
Gutless, Heartless, Leaderless, Pathetic, Useless, Depressing! by Adam Kemp
What another woeful display at home in a massive must win game against Bayern Munich. First of all I must simply credit Bayern for finally producing football that fits in well at the Emirates. If only we could swap squads only then would I be happy to pay the ticket prices. What on earth is going on at Arsenal Football Club? Why oh why does this team start so sloppy that the game is so beyond them at the outset? Simply the responsibility is on everyone involved with Arsenal Football Club. This season is another reminder of how far we have regressed and the future only looks worse.
Who are we to say – ‘There needs to be change at Arsenal Football Club’ by JM
Arsenal Football Club and the clubs board do not know, well they certainly do not take us seriously. Are we as a fan base happy with the last seven years? Are we happy with inconsistency and our goal of finishing just top four which has now turned into a scrap to keep our heads afloat. Are we happy seeing some of the best footballers the world has to offer leave. Are we happy with replacing them with ‘Potential’ at best or more usually some of the biggest flops this club has ever seen. Are we happy at paying the highest ticket prices?
Is wanting Arsenal not to qualify for Champions league football or protesting a sign of not being a ‘true and loyal’ fan’? bt TN
Many Arsenal fans have been either writing or saying they hope ‘Arsenal don’t qualify for the champions league’ this year. And in response, they have been accused of not being ‘true fans’ and have even had their loyalty questioned, but is this fair?
So the question that must be raised is, why are Gooner’s seeking non qualification?
Does it have anything to do with wanting Arsenal not being successful?
The curse of 4th place. by OO
“For me there are five trophies: Premier League, Champions League, the third is to qualify for the Champions League, the fourth is the FA Cup and the fifth is the League Cup.” Those were Wenger’s words from the AGM. Listening to those words tell you that there is no Ambition at the club anymore, and that money is more important than trophies to Arsenal F.C right now and when that will change i don’t know; but what i do know is that there is no Arsenal fan who is pleased at the moment.
Whingers or Wenger? by TB
Do you know what? I find all this herd mentality of ganging up to slag off our manager Arsene Wenger distasteful in the extreme. It is a behaviour that is more fitting of the spoiled brat in the playground who for years has been getting everything he wants and then starts squealing when he doesn’t get what he wants and lashes out at the person who he sees as the being responsible for not getting his way. The mantra of ‘we want our Arsenal back’ embodies this pathetic, playground attitude. Black scarves – my arse – that’s pathetic!! How negative and disproportionate can you get?
There is probably a very simple answer to the above question, and it is not yes. It would be nice to think that the Arsenal fans and their feelings and opinions were important to Stan Kroenke, Ivan Gazidis and Peter Hill-Wood, but I just doubt it somehow. If the Arsenal fans were to become a corporate entity that paid for advertising, then we would be treated like royalty, but we are all individuals (I’m not).
There was a great response from Arsenal fans to the recent post about protests, with lots of ideas about boycotting merchandise, matches and making our frustration felt. Some fans want Wenger out while others think his hands are tied, but all seem to agree that the board are not looking after the interests of the fans.
A group of Arsenal supporters are now planning a protest before the Premier league game against Swansea City on December 1st. The group is called `Where has our Arsenal gone?` and have demonstrated before, in May of last year. A few hundred people turned up but organiser Marc Harold is expecting many more to show their support this time.
Only empty Emirates will teach Gazidis and co by JJ
By the end of yesterdays match, Arsenal fans gave their boos and abuse of our former idol Van Persie a rest to chant ‘We want our Arsenal back!’.
Now the Gunners are nine points behind the league leaders and with their lowest point tally at this time of the season under Arsene Wenger. Given the terrible start to the season last year, their 6th position in the table seems to belie their problems – selling all the good players.
Profit in the books, trophy-less on the field.
There has been numerous (thousands even) of anti-Wenger statements appearing on the Arsenal blogs since last summer. They gradually lessened as Arsenal remained in the hunt for trophies, but since the Gunners tamely dropped away at the end of the season, the clamour for Arsene Wenger’s head has increased in volume.
So cynical have the Gooners become, that they are already assuming that Wenger will refuse to buy a new goalkeeper this summer, and have told ArsenalInsider that they have every intention of staging a protest during the Emirates Cup. Arsenal have been linked with just about every goalkeeper on the planet in the last fortnight, but the diehard fans are simply refusing to believe he has any intention of adding a new Number One to the squad.
