I repeat my mantra: you don’t pay Roller prices for a BMW. And right now, Arsenal season ticket prices are Roller prices. I’ll let others decide whether the team represents a BMW right now……

You aren’t guaranteed success. But you should be guaranteed a team which does the basics right under pressure.

1. A goalkeeper doesn’t kick the ball straight to an opponent just outside the area.
2. A defender closes down an attacker when he is last man and six defenders don’t let an attacker run straight through them without following his run closely.
3. A defender doesn’t wander from his post at a corner.
4. A squad is balanced in terms of the components of a team. You need one engine and four wheels for a car to go. If you possess no engine but six wheels, you’re in deep doodoo. And I tell you this, I was none too impressed when my first car came with a dead battery after my family were customers for 15 years plus…..and was more than disgusted when another outlet of that global OEM claimed the car needed £750 of repairs to get through the MOT 3 years later, but when I took it to an independent, they passed it without need to replace anything….
5. Your youth squad is paid like a youth squad and the season ticket prices are set according to whether the First XI is a youth team, an aspirational team or a team capable of winning the EPL and Champions League. That’s not consumerism, it’s treating fans with proper respect. If you won’t buy a squad that can win the league, lower ticket prices and balance that with a USA tour pre-season. It won’t affect finishing position, because all you did was transplant training to the USA and a few friendlies likewise. And I do consider it possible that the USA possesses a few facilities of professional standard…….

He claims to be a Barnet fan, but nothing he has written so far shows any enthusiasm for his club. It’s an excuse to have a go at Arsenal.
He hates the big four, but watches every match between those clubs.
Really miserable guy.

Quickly.
I support Barnet.
Saw them yesterday, won 3-0.

I go to local Non-League clubs on Tuesdays.
I go to Rugby Union on the occasional Saturday.
I love Rugby League.
I despite how Professional Football has gone in this country.

Do I pass?

Now you answer me a question?

With the ’37 game’ stat mentioned above why can’t you see that the Premiership is jaw-droppingly predictable and, if you can, do you think that this is a good thing?

Do you dispute the evidence?

Der.

Anything to say about the jaw-dropping predictability of the Premiership?
That’s what my comment was about and, look…..it mentions Chelsea.

Der.

you’re a Chelski supporter? Barnet too little for ya? I knew you’re fake.

Not going to rub in the 2-0 defeat v. Chelsea, it’s just Bore Four v. Bore Four for me, but I make that the 37th (that’s 37th!) predictable result at Stamford Bridge and The Emirates out of 37 (that’s 37 out of 37…..100%) this season.

Finsbury……you’ve been mugged off my son.

Your action proves you’re not an Arsenal fan.

You’re trophies’ fan, and frankly I’m glad we are rid of you.

My Boro supporting friend still loses sleep weekly over his team while wishing all the best for them to come up.

Unlike d&gs (they are still fans somewhat cause they still care…abit) someone like you, Per, doesn’t deserve Arsenal anyway.

Arsenal’s trophies cabinet is not the best in the world, we all know that from the start…ask most of us and you will get surprise answers of when did we started support this club (most started during dry spell)….but we KNOW Arsenal is the best club there is to be a fan of.

To . (name please),

Gunnerblog (Gilbertosilver is a nice blogger who is not a d&g but let they terrorize his blog) is full of morons who all they do is bitch and moan about all things Arsenal. It is by far the most boring blog to read people’s thoughts about Arsenal because the community is currently being run like a mafia gang, there are 20-30 bloggers who will call people names, spit racial comments, while thinking they are the true masters of world football………………………..because a few of them think they knew about some Russian goalkeeper lad before Wenger and his team thus making Wenger stupid by default….if you are a fan of this kind of crap then Gunerblog’s comments board is your place.
And anyone who likes Wenger is a moron….they will make absolutely sure everyone’s aware of that.

I read those things for pleasure now not unlike the rare occasions I visited myles palmer’s so called blog of writings…..

If you being a fan depends on winning anything than I really feel sorry for you.

As a fan for more than 30 years (my God time goes fast….) I have had many many years withou winning anything. I still am a fan and will be a fan.

And I will be there when we win our first trophy in the not so distance future and I will know that I was there for my team and players whole the way.

Gooner in good and bad days and I really can not consider these days as bad. Bad is where Hull, Wigan and Blackburn and Portsmouth are. And I admire the loyal fans they have for sticking to their team. Maybe you could think about that for a change.

And our fan club in the Benelux is gaining new members every month.

I think Wenger must go. Hes vision has failed.

However, this overreaction tends to result in the segregation of the Arsenal fanbase into the AK and ADK (Arsene Doesnt know) groups thereby masking the actualy inefficiencies of the squad. I don’t think it is wrong to criticise your team if they are playing poorly or if you feel the manager is making a mistake. It is part of human nature.

Somewhere in this all there needs to be a semblance of balance whereby we are able to tweak the team to advance it’s progress but by the same token not demanding such radical change that goes against everything Arsene is striving to implement. Herein lies the crux of the matter… there is no doubt that Arsene’s policy of living within our means is well founded and something we can be proud of. The fact that we have a team that is able to produce such stylish and effective football makes it even more remarkable. Lets not destroy that with our overreactions. However, balance needs to be maitnained wherein if we see a player is not putting the effort in (Denilson) then we should be able voice our derision.

Where is the balance!

And Wenger did not want to buy Arshavin, he was forced into buying a world class players because some fans pressure him to. That’s why he spent 30 mil on him —– oh wait, I just realize I just made the last whole sentence up…..

IN ARSENE I WILL ALWAYS TRUST.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you talk about infantilization.

We live in an infantilized culture, where everyone else is to blame, and personal responsibility doesn’t exist. I only have to walk up my country lane and see all the rubbish thrown out of car windows to see what an irresponsible nation of people we have become.

People expect instant gratification, at almost every level of their lives.

Perhaps we should take a leaf out of Newcastle’s book: they have 60,000 supporters through thin and thin……..

Hes now talking like i nearly bought this player on the last day but I wont say his name. Bloody hell hes turning Arsenal into a joke. Your all waiting for the new Adams, bErgkamp,pires or Henry.

It is not going to happen.

Its his way or the highway. It seems to me your just as vocal in your views but because Fans are tiring of his mantra. “I know what ill do ill pput a 5ft 7 player as my striker I dont need a new striker.

Mate smell the roses its not going to happen
