Fans hit the Chit
By Boris Mellor
August 17 2013
I am awaiting a flight so only the briefest of reports. The match itself was dire and needs little reporting. Its a pity that the referee provided Wenger with an excuse. But I dont see how the ref can be to blame for poor ball control and only 4 shots on target.Indeed it could have been 5-1 to Villa if they were more experienced.
This must be the worst start at home in many years, this wasnt Man U this was Villa a team almost relegated last season.
I was in the family enclosure for the first time,it was strange to hear 10 year olds and pensioners combine to sing the rather impolite spend some money song, those that hadnt walked out. Bt the end two thirds had walked out,the remaining third booed and demanded transfers.
No doubt we can now expect Wenger's mad trolley dash around Adli in the next few days, and those that refuse to admit Wenger has lost it will say there we told you he would buy. Yes but what, and will it be quality, or can we wait two years to get rid of poor players draining the wage bill.
As Amy Lawrence says if you refuse to pay the price you pay the price. The atmosphere at Arsenal is now toxic, maybe its time to sack the fans.There again it may be easier to sack the manager.

The bloke is mad, the press should be please they have got waht they wanted. He has had the easiest ride of any manager, he should ask Gordon Taylor

But who gives them that ride and why.
The problem isn't be careful what you wish for in terms of a manager. No top manager will come to Arsenal any time soon realistically - not unless they come after the window's closed and are marking time till another bigger job comes up.
Not unless the people running the Club should a desire to support the manager building a properly competitive team, not making a one-time super-big buy to convince the supporters of their genuine ambition when it makes the real goal of building a properly competitive team impossible.
And note the first three letters in the word convince I think you have the word that's really more apropos here for what they are really trying to do to the supporters chasing Suarez or Rooney.
So if you want the manager out you had best be absolutely certain that there is real ambition to build a new and better team here and now and funding that will support that ambition available to use as needed or else you are saying you deserve and even want more of the same.

I am tired of being frustrated every season.
THIS BELOVED CLUB NEEDS A NEW DIRECTION. WENGER HAS OUTLIVED HIS USEFULNESS AND IS EITHER COMPLETELY OUT OF IDEAS FOR THE PAST 6YRS, OR HAS LOST HIS MIND. DID HE NOT SEE THIS COMING? IF NOT, THEN HE DEFINITELY HAS TO GO ASAP.
AS IS AT THE MOMENT, ARSENAL BRAND IS TARNISHED AND NO SERIOUS PLAYER THAT WANTS TO WIN WILL EVEN CONSIDER JOINING TODAY'S ARSENAL (SUAREZ WANTS A CL PLATFORM TO MAKE HIS CASE TO RM SO HE DOESN'T COUNT).
SO WHAT TO DO AS FANS? WELL, WE HAVE THE POWER OF THE PURSE TO STOP BUYING THIS BRAND THAT HAS LOST ITS PRESTIGE.

Padre, are you some sort of jet set globetrotter? Me, I crashed my PC and had to wipe clean my system drive and reinstall Windows. That along with Arsenal losing messed up my whole Saturday. I'm still in a grouchy mood.

Safe flight, Padre.
Since the end of WW1, 1919, when the FA restarted its 4 tier football league, with Arsenal fc in the 1st div, there’s only ever been one club to have never been relegated from Div 1/ EPL.
Arsenal fc
Let’s keep making history

Same. My mac crashed 5 hours into starting my latest track. Lost all that work. Grrrrr. Then made the mistake of watching the match too.
Not a good day.

Was that the 4 - 2 at home to QPR or somebody? When the new back pass came into effect and our defenders were a shambles?
