From Gareth : withdrawing my support
So where to from here?
Is it worth continuing to watch and support Arsenal this season?
As a fan, my answer is no.
If we can’t sign a single outfield player with £200m in the bank after finishing 3rd of 4th for 10 years straight, then I can’t see why I should support this team.
For people who say, “Well you still have a better team than most clubs” they miss the crucial point. The point being that all you want your club to do is use all of the resources they have at their disposal to make the football team better.
Arsenal don’t do that and most other clubs do. That’s why I can no longer be bothered cheering on this pathetic regime under Wenger.
There is no hope for the club with Arsene Wenger as manager of Arsenal. No hope for things to improve and to get back to the summit again.
We must now finish outside the top 4 and fail properly this year for change to occur.
No more FA Cup runs masking the problem. I want us to have our worst season for 20 years and Wenger to finally get the bullet as it’s the only hope I have as a supporter for things to get better. I want us to fail and fail badly this year, otherwise this stale and pointless cycle will continue indefinitely.
All the evidence conclusively shows that things will have to get worse for Arsenal before they get better. On that basis, there is no point me watching Arsenal knowing that each loss takes us closer to change – I will effectively be cheering for the opposition.
Bring on the downfall I say.
See you in 2016 with Klopp at the helm.
Myles says:
If only, Gareth!
Right now, it’s still a French club.
As the great Robert Pires perceptively noted, “Arsenal is a French club playing in England.”
Arsenal were so shabby in that 2-0 defeat at Chelsea today – and very stupid.
Keown, Dixon or Vieira would have told Gabriel to stop doing what dirty Diego Costa wanted him to do. They’d have emphatically said, “Don’t play his game! Don’t let him wind you up!”
But this Arsenal is a squad of choirboys. There are no leaders, and no shouter from the technical area. That’s his policy, his stale regime. His outdated culture and crippling rules have caused Arsene FC to sink into calcification and invisibility.
Two defeats in a week, three players sent off?
Further proof that AW is way past his sell-by date.
However, the most over-rated manager of the last decade is still treated by the media as if he is a tracksuit Jesus, a messiah.
