the players are brought up with the idea that AW’s way, is the way. even with new players, most of the existing players are brainwashed in that way. so i dont think new investments is the solution. i can bet that with the current players, a manager of Mourinho/Sir Alex-like would still win something. we have to look at the root cause, not merely instant remedies which are ‘hope’.

we shd nonetheless thank AW for what he had done, but this is not AW FC. this is ARSENAL, he’s not ARSENAL! if the board wants to be graceful, i suggest AW to be promoted as the footballing director instead of sacking him. then get a manager that can install back some spines in the players. i wouldn’t even discard the option of having Arry Redknapp, he ought to give the under-performers (arshavin, Theo, Chamakh, the whole of defence) a fair beating in the arse.

but it’s sad that he gets a lot of support by ppl who dont really LOVE the club. i am utterly annoyed at the ‘IN ARSENE WE TRUST’ shouts. beginning of 2011/12 season, the banner at the emirates should be ’6 YEARS OF FALSE HOPE….. 7 AND YOUR OUT!’.

seriously, fans should be harder on the team. this is becoming a cancer. he has to go.

As has been said elsewhere Lehmann was lucky to be on the field and Kos was also lucky for not been penalised for 2 rash challenges in the box. I can figure out why he makes those challenges as he has been sent of or conceded penalties like that in the past.

If these decisions had been against Arsenal “all hell would have broken loose”.

I do hope that Blackpool stay in the premier league though. It’s just unfortunate that we played them at this time of the season.
