Pissed off - dude you don't strike me as a true Gooner. I know its out of order to question ones loyalities, because we are all in this together but you drop a couple of hints that you may be a bit of a glory hunter.

"elief me we are in Arsenal today bc we all belief they are capable of winning the league." - err, no. I have been brought up on Arsenal, and while i'm not as old as Kieran ( :P ) I was supporting Arsenal when they were a mid table side.

I do admire your idealistic view that we truly BELONG at the top of the table, but its just not true. There are many huge clubs in the prem and we are just one of them. Your a bit disilusional in that sense. I do agree that it is kind of crunch time this season. Not necessarily for Wenger but for the current setup. The way the club is run. If things were not to go our way this year, i think it will be time to dip into the purse.

I think Cole is incredible. He just doesn't know when he has something amazing. Arsenal! He had us, we had him, he was loved... he loved us? Cheryl Tweedy! She is so fucking hot it makes my tackle tingle. You have to be mad to fool around away from home! Money! He had loads of it as it was. But the greedy bastard wants more, more, more and then some. Absolute tool.]]>

As good as Hleb was (at not shooting) in his last year of playing with us he was shockingly bad for the two years previous. He wasn’t creative at all, he was more likely to dribble into a dark alley than to put in a proper cross or otherwise open up the opponent’s defense. And then, of course, there was his chronic inability to shoot when presented with open chances. No, I’m sorry, but Samir Nasri already looks a more than apt replacement for Hleb. Why Cesc is slagging off Nasri I have no idea.

On the Flamini issue? Yes. We need another Flamini. But given the rise of Ramsey and Wilshere and Wenger’s desire to play those two and bring them up rather than buying a player, I can’t see him spending the money on Yaya or Alonso this January. Unless Cesc threatens to quit or something.

But more than just the individuals, what’s really troubling with this statement is the way that Cesc sees himself. The team lacks experience? Wait, what about Cesc? Isn’t he experienced? What about all those finals he’s been in, the trophy he won this summer, don’t those count for anything? I disagree with him here, Cesc possesses the requisite experience, and it’s his job now to pass that on.

What I think we’re really hearing from Cesc is that Arsenal lack the leadership that someone like Flamini provided. We’re hearing, moreover, that Cesc lacks the leadership to transfer his own abundance of experience over to the others.

I guess that’s why Arsene didn’t make Cesc the captain: he’s too busy looking for others to provide the leadership and experience. I almost feel like someone should give him a “leadership coin” and say to him “Ok, Cesc, put that magic coin in your sock and it will magically give you the leadership qualities that you’re looking for in others.” Then, you know, he could lose the coin and show some leadership and we’d all say “that was just an ordinary coin! The qualities you sought were already within you!” and there would be a rainbow and birds chirping and a fucking trophy and Spurs would be relegated.

That’s my fantasy anyway.

I hope the manager has a couple of words with Cesc, at least, and tells him that he’s a leader now, that Denilson and Rambo and Nasri and Theo all need him to step up and play that role. Oh, and also, don’t slag off your teammates publicly, jerk.]]>

Our fans just come to games and sit their like they are at a cinema, We need to get the place rocking like the fans up north. You go to some places it really intimidatingly and the home team are on a high and its almost like a goal start to them.

I remember a few season ago Arsenal played away to Liverpool and Henry came off the pitch and said how great the Liverpool fans were and how they didn’t stop singing and the sound breathtaking.

So what can we do to improve things at home games?

Our away fans are quality, Maybe its because they are die hard gooners who will take annual leave at work to watch the team.They are the real fans and not the plastic twats that turn up late and leave early that you see week in week at at Arsenal.

I think the problem is that Arsenal have got to many yuppie type fans who turn up and have a few bottles of champagne and don’t really care about the team, its just a day out for them.

But why should this be a problem for Arsenal FC. The yuppies are paying big money to watch games.And Arsenal stopped carrying about the real local fans a long time ago.

IMO Arsenal need to lower prices and get more of the proper fans back into grounds. most of the working class fans have to go to the pub to watch the games.Or bring back a small standing area.

They are the type of fans we need back at Arsenal. The Average joe who works long hours and loves the game who turns and has passion for the club. Not some toffee noses rest boy who could not tell you the name of our reserve keeper.

I remember my old man giving me a tenner as a kid on a Saturday morning and then going off to the North Bank with a few mate. We use to stand behind the goal and we use to see the same faces standing in the same spot every home game. A program and a burger and i still have enough money to get a bus home. All that out of a tenner. Now you need to take out a loan to go and watch a game. And thats whats killed the real fans in football. The heart and soul of the club, Local and real fans that showed passion.]]>

After Thierry Henry moaned and creaked his way out of the club, the Spaniard said: 'He is a great player but it was not easy to play alongside him. We were a bit inhibited by him - dependent on everything that he wanted to do.'

Fabregas looks set to make the same mistake.]]>

Manu went 3 seasons without a trophy and what did they reply with, A league trophy; second season they aquired more assets( Harg, Tevez , Anderson) And returned that same season with a double, a double! Kieren. What will wenger respond with after four seasons without any major trophy.Moment of truth Kieran]]>

We're not targetting 4th at all - I genuinely don't see any team expecting to win. If Liverpool keep up their form they have a chance. Utd don't look as string as they have, but they have a chance. Chelsea look great with Deco, but without him so far not so great. Again they have a chance. Its a close thing. Its a league. Its exciting. Its football.]]>

Its utterly awful and unbeliveable that u kieren of all people is comparing our darling team to west what ? or everton.

Its time for Wenger to grow up,time are harsh ,we need something , we need belief , we need trophy nothing other than this year. Can Wenger do that?It use to be in Wengers hand the time of the fans are coming. Hope u fans understand.

So far we are far from it and I dont see us]]>
