  Debs – the club do need to process and read every letter, so sending a letter to the club will help… but it won’t achieve anything.

  In reality, we as fans can only show our discontent by not going to games.

  To todays game though – line up and predictions?

  I think:

  Szsz, sag, verm, kos, gibbs, arteta, song, ramsey, ox, theo, van persie

  Score – 3-0.

  Interesting article Debs.
  You say what the majority of fans think!

  @ Deb : whatever needs to be done to be heard you do it. Your being upset about the protest makes me feel like you don’t want a change. The bin bag or whatever u call it protest is a way of showing discontent. Who doesn’t want success, maybe you don’t want Deb but fans are fed up of being bitched around.

  you can do that am not. i now see why wenger has so much power cause people like you will always back him up. i think you have to wake up and see that tha team is going from bad to worse. with fans like you arsenal will surely remain a mediocre team. how many seasons now have we not gotten behind the team and what the hell are they doing with our money? shit bombs is way better than the bin bags and unless wenger is driven out, spurs will always rule north london but i guess you don’t have any pride.

  Robin so f**8ing Diaby. Sounds like you ve been on Diaby’s case for a while.

  I feel for Arsenal fans…their leader still refuses to address the issues surrounding their performances this season, and not to mention the perceived lack of ambition by failing to attract/go for big name and true quality signings. They should be up there challenging with City, United, Chelsea and Spurs not just for a top four spot, but the league..not stuck in a rut in 7th.

  @robin: wow you’re on fire today fella. And with about 90% i agree with you. But the hostility and hatred for wenger you have is a bIt OTT.

  Wenger is still the manager that won us two doubles, an unbeaten PL title and won the PL at the Drain.

  Unfortunately, the game has caught up to him and moved on and he hasn’t kept pace. His time is up, he should leave or be sacked, but we should still respect the success he brought us.

  Agree with BG that 2008 team could have been something special if Wenger had bought in the players we needed and shipped out the shite. But he didn’t and we’ll never know what that nucleus of a team might have achieved.

  Wenger out. And the sooner the better. But I still love and respect him for what he won with us.

  @sistable: I think you are one of the more clued up posters around here…but that comment is remarkable on so many levels.

  ‘Saw us win that part of the game 1-0′?

  Is there such a thing as a player being responsible for ‘winning part of a game’! Come on mate, let’s be serious here, you’re better than that! By that logic also then, if you look at Arshavin, well he scored a winner against the best team in the world, that saw us win that game 2-1.

  Or, David Bellion at Manure once scored a goal that was responsible for his team ‘winning part of the game’ that saw Manure go 1-0 up at West Ham. It doesn’t matter that Bellion spent the rest of his time weak as piss and injured.

  Face facts on Diaby: the reason you claim he should not be slated is precisely the reason he is. Guy is a crock and a crock of shit. Consistenty injured. And no it isn’t down to Dan Smith, it’s down to him being a pussyhole. Van Nistelrooy recovered from a far more career-threatening injury. All in his mentality.

  I leave you with this absolute gem of a Diaby quote:

  ************
  Abou Diaby has revealed that he dreams of becoming European Footballer of the Year and makes no apologies about sharing his ambition with the football community. The prestigious award, coined the Ballon d’Or by France Football magazine, has yet to be won by an Arsenal player while only Zinedine Zidane, Jean Pierre Papin, Michel Platini and Raymond Kopa from across the Channel have got their hands on the famous trophy.
  The French international has made a habit of splitting the Gunners faithful since arriving in England in 2005; while certain quarters of the Emirates stadium hail the Parisian born playmaker as the long-term successor to Patrick Vieira, others have been drawn to despair by his phlegmatic and languid playing style and constant fitness problems.

  Speaking to L’Equipe as Les Bleus prepare for two crunch Euro 2012 qualification matches, Diaby stressed his ambition:
  “I dream of winning the Ballon d’Or. I hope to win it one day. There is no shame in saying that.”
  **************

  Or how about this one?

  Diaby stated: “At some point I would like to play for Barcelona or Real Madrid, but I would prefer to play for Barca, because I think their style of play is more suited to mine.”

  SERIOUSLY!!!!

  

• sistable says on February 3rd, 2012 at 11:43 am on They think it’s all over… it is now…:

  All this anti-Diaby stuff makes me laugh

  He hasn’t played a match and everyone’s sticking the knife in. The 20 odd minutes that he played saw us win that part of the game 1-0, with him as the driving force

  Much more fun watching “People’s Champion” Ramsey perform his backheels to no avail and Song plod around picking up bookings and unable to control the ball

  

• robin says on February 3rd, 2012 at 11:38 am on They think it’s all over… it is now…:

  @arsefan101: Talks sense Fool. Cesc had enough of the dross that was around him – DIABY by God is there worst player in a arsenal shirt? The pigsty that wenger has made of this team is so effing mental it’s unbelievable. We are a team which is meant to be relegation candidate – mark my words if this team is kept together you will see us battling with wolves and co.

  

• robin says on February 3rd, 2012 at 11:34 am on They think it’s all over… it is now…:

  Ahhh so finally Leroy the WEnger worshipping dunce conceedes we wont make the top 4 – well mate I have been saying that since the bloody season started and the tosser board and manager are the biggest culprits. WEnger is the vermin which will lead this team to oblivion and when are not in the top 4 you wenger supporting idiots will see.

  

• Leroy says on February 3rd, 2012 at 11:30 am on They think it’s all over… it is now…:

  As much I hate to say it, I have to concede, we might not make it. The reality is that its a real possibility we won’t be there at the moment.

  I think that Arsenal and, at times, Gooners have come to take the Champions League for granted. Season after season we have been involved with Europe’s elite competition.

  You never know what you’ve got until its gone is a very true saying. Perhaps it may ring true with figures at the club and will get things moving.

  People say Robin van Persie will leave if Arsenal aren’t involved. I don’t think that is the case. If Arsenal show a summer of intent, then I believe he will sign a new contract.

  Arsenal will have to show intent this summer regardless of whether we make the Champions League or not.

  People are beginning to question the ambitions of the club and for a long time many Gooners have become unhappy at what direction the club wants to take.

  Not being in the Champions League will not appease the money men at Arsenal but perhaps they need a kick up the backside for them to actually do something.

  These days it becoming harder than one of Pele’s erections after taking Viagra to compete unless you are spending money.

  Despite what many say, Arsene Wenger has performed miracles with the funds available to him. To continuously qualify for the Champions League year after year is amazing. But not enough to some and I understand that.

  Arsenal are a big club and sometimes a reality check is needed to remind them of that fact. The board have come to rely on Wenger to spend very little but achieve big things.

  The problem is the boards idea of big things and many Gooners are totally different. Just competing for 4th place isn’t enough for the fans of the club.

  If it happens, finishing outside of the top four might seem like the end of the world at first. But maybe it could have a positive effect in a weird way.

  Of course we would get slaughtered for not making it but maybe, just maybe the board and even perhaps Wenger, will wake up and start to act like a big club with ambition again

  

• arsefan101 says on February 3rd, 2012 at 11:26 am on They think it’s all over… it is now…:

  Is it Wengers fault that Cesc left? Nasri left? AND wilshere and diaby got injured?

  

• bergChamp says on February 3rd, 2012 at 11:25 am on They think it’s all over… it is now…:

  @ robin:

  Do you think it’s all Arsene?
  Don’t you think it’s down to not having the money available?
  And not having players available?

  

• robin says on February 3rd, 2012 at 11:02 am on They think it’s all over… it is now…:

  Why people still think the current mess has nothing to do with Wenger amazes me. Of course it’s to do with Wenger. He buys the 2nd rate cheap/free players, wastes money on their wages and refuses to buy top quality. Of what use are Park and Miyachi? Vela was another one, some clown on here today suggested we bring him back. What the hell for, this is someone who will never be good enough for the PL, he struggled to get on the bench at WBA last year. Park is just another Inamoto, atypical Wenger rubbish signing, as Spiritof1989 has [pointed out on a number of occasions, Wenger has wasted over £125million on total rubbish over the last 6 years and where has this cheapskate got us. We wont quality for the CL and RVP will leave. Wenger’s arrogant post match interview last night was another example of this arrogant conceited man who shows nothing but disdain for the fans. His tactics are a joke and he still cant sort out the defence, seven years and no improvement. This can’t go on, he has to go.

  

• lance says on February 3rd, 2012 at 10:03 am on They think it’s all over… it is now…:

  wneger answers to no one. his as arrogant as they come. the board do not dictate him and he is no puppet of the board. his decision not to spend are his own. he is obsessed with proving he can win on the cheap. the more times his told to spend the more resiliant he gets and does not spend. if he does spend its a de-facto admission he got it wrong in the first place, therefore he will never spend. the board are in sync with wenger. they do love he chooses not to spend (note: its not that wenger cant spend, he just doesnt want to. wenger and the board are in bed together and have a common understanding. wenger is allowed free reign of the football things, as i said before he is obsessed with not spending. the board therefore have a manager not asking to spend the clubs money – its a perfect match. the thing is though, the fans are getting anxious and wising up to the sham. it wont continue much longer. wenger will be gone within 2 years. theres no way he will sign another contract and his current deal expires in 2014.when wneger goes the jigs up for the board and and i expect usmanov to take over – at least that what arsenal fans are hoping for. but for now we have 2 more years of rubbish to endure.

  

• Leroy says on February 2nd, 2012 at 2:25 pm on The catalyst? We’ll see.:

  Our league form this season is: W11, D4, L8. That’s mid-table form and Arsenal sit this morning in 7th position. Behind Liverpool. Behind Newcastle. In all competitions this season we have lost 11 times. Each one of those defeats came before the January window closed, and if that’s not evidence that this was a squad that needed something adding to it beyond the emotional but mostly ineffective return of a former legend, I don’t know what is.

  We can listen to Ivan Gazidis talk all day about our business model and how successful it is. Which is great. Except for the fact that our footballing model is failing, nobody seems to be doing anything about it and nobody seems to be accountable for it. And I think what frustrates me most is that for most of these trophy-less years there’s been a sense that if we could just add a couple of quality players to the mix we’d have a side capable of competing for the league each season.

  Now it looks as if it’d take a lot more than one or two and that’s a measure of how difficult our task is going to be for the reason of the season. We’ve taken just 8 points from our last 8 league games. We have yet to win a league game in 2012. We’ve been overtaken in the league by Newcastle and Liverpool, teams who I think we can objectively look at as average, at best. Which, if we remain objective, tell us a lot about ourselves.

  I said yesterday that not strengthening in January and results being affected by that would provide people with a stick with which to beat Arsene, Ivan and our silent owner with.

  I suspect for many, whacking day is upon us.

  I watched the game today, we play good, well drilled pass and move high tempo football. Its the philosophy Wenger put forward and has achieved. The problem is its so predictable, there’s no creativity, no drive or urgency! The only time i get excited is when OX is on the ball, he looks lively, creative, dangerous, when everyone else is on the ball i just slump back into me chair. OX has that drive the real winner attitude which i dont see in any of the other players. This is something that specifically Walcott lacks and is why i believe he will never reach his potential (i hope im wrong). The one on one he missed today was pathetic! No need to mention RVP quality as per usual. I’ve defended wenger in my posts but, as the season goes on my mind is starting to change more and more. Something needs to be changed now or dare i say it wenger out

  Here Here – Hear Hear!

  Time for a Bolton thrashing – although the Reebok is never easy!

  

• Leroy says on February 1st, 2012 at 2:07 pm on The catalyst? We’ll see.:

  I know there is a lot of negativity towards Arsene and the board and rightly so. I don’t class myself as an apologist or an AKB.. but there’s not much else we should be doing than getting behind the team tonight, as Im sure most who are going will do, as usual.

  Better get going.. see you in The Beehive… or McDonalds

  

• bergChamp says on February 1st, 2012 at 1:45 pm on The catalyst? We’ll see.:

  Tonights Line Up?

  Szcznesy
  Sagna – Metersacker – Koscielny – Vermaelen
  Arteta – Song
  Walcott – Ramsey – Oxlade
  Van Persie

  Does that make sense?

  We are on the knife edge – a win tonight and saturday and the fans and club survive and get closer to fourth.

  But imagine if we lose tonight? The wrath of the fans? So far away from 4th…

  It’s a very sharp knife edge.
