Adebayor is a fucking douche. Total C-U-N-T, end of.
Adebayor cares only about Adebayor. He has to be the neediest footballer I've ever come across. City fans enjoying it now are merely on the top end of the curve - if he keeps it up and puts himself in the shop window he will a) demand a wage hike and b) make goo-goo eyes at the likes of Barca and AC and give interviews about how he needs to move to "a big club". He will then get pissed off at the City fans for treating him like the twat he is after pulling such moves.
Fuck him, he deserves the ban. The stamp on RVP alone is a total disgrace.

What happened against West Ham? 2-2 in the end.

What happened against West Ham? 2-2 in the end. Arsenal showed the perfect example in how to get complacent with a comfortable lead. At least they didn't struggle against West Ham though - something that was quite common amongst Arsenal in recent years. I'm still encouraged by the start of the season though - many goals have been scored (more than any other team in the league), and although the defence is still a bit iffy in places, it looks good. |

The 2-2 vs West Ham was frustrating. We didn't play well, but we had a 2-0 lead and threw it away

Very frustrating indeed. Still, if you want to take anything positive out of it, at least we didn't lose!

Cesc's goal was absolutely sublime. Love that little Spaniard

Same fucking thing every year. God damn it Arsene. Give it a fucking rest and lay off Wenger. If you want him sacked, then bugger off and go glory hunting with another team. I mean, you said you couldn't give a fuck if Arsenal lost to Man Utd because you were so upset that Oasis had split. Fuck Oasis splitting (I mean come on, Dig Out Your Soul wasn't that great - I'd expected much more from them after getting back on tracks with DBTT), that loss against United was the real disappointment of the day. Show's what sort of Arsenal fan you are. Wenger makes the club financially secure, builds a stadium, wins a heap of trophies with squads that cost zilch compared to the other big teams, makes the team play magnificent football and you're going to just stand there and say he should be fired for failing to win a trophy in the past four years. Yes, four years is a long time, but with stadium debts and such to pay back, we should be fucking lucky we're still maintaining ourselves as a Champions League team, while other clubs who have built stadiums have gone into meltdown and gone off the boil. |

I have the utmost respect for Arsene Wenger and for what he's done at Arsenal, but by allowing him to rest on his laurels, you exacerbate the problem. Given both the stature of the club and the quality of football that Arsenal are playing, you ought to have a team capable of challenging to the death year-in, year-out. Instead what you have is a vulnerable and inexperienced side propped up by three or four outstanding individuals, and whose frailties are clear to be exploited by teams of Chelsea's quality. Teams with title aspirations should not be losing 3-0 at home to their main rivals, nor surrendering leads in the way that Arsenal did at Old Trafford, but the simple fact is that Arsenal do not have the bottle to dig their heels in and grind out performances and results when they need to, or the strength in depth to compensate for losing key players. Fuck, just look at what's happened since you lost Van Persie. A team averaging over three goals a game now looks incapable of finding the back of the net. |

Furthermore, Wenger had the money to spend in the summer. I'm not asking for a 20million pound star, but we needed cover in the attack and defensive midfield. A proper right winger would have been nice, too. Wenger took the risk that RVP would remain injury-free and Eduardo would be a sufficient replacement, if needed. Clearly the manager judged wrong. And what really bothers me is that Drogba has been tearing us apart for 4+ years now. Does Wenger alter his strategy to contain him? No. Instead its the same nonsense year after year. Lastly, Wenger's in complete control of his tactics. I don't know how many times Arsenal got into a scoring position yesterday but decided to look for one more pass, which was wasted, instead of shooting. I appreciate what Wenger's done for us, but this is his last year in my opinion. If he fails to be in proper contention for the league and fails to win anything, then it's time he moves on. And don't give me this nonsense about who would replace him. That's a weak argument. It's not for me to say, and I don't know every manager in the world, do I? Furthermore, Arsene was unknown when he came to us. And, Chelsea just brought in Ancellotti and Hiddink is free, I believe, so the argument that good manager can't be found is bollocks, too. And when does enough become enough: 5 years without a trophy? 8? 10? 15? Stop letting him rest on his laurels. Wenger's youth policy in recent years was his experiment. It's failed. And the fact that he won't admit to that is worrying and only compounds the problem. And money isn't an issue here, either - he's proven in the past he can find good older players for cheap money, so why doesn't he ditch the youth policy? Wenger is indeed a god, but he's a very frustrating and faulty one. |

Just don't complain when we get a 'quality' manager in who knows fuck all about the youth system, how to bring up youth and fucks around with a transfer budget that still wouldn't be able to compete with the biggest clubs wasting it on mediocre players because he has no talent on finding youth. Don't give me bollocks that the scouts will help out, because the majority of the coaching staff will follow Wenger out the club. Then we'll be fucked because impatient wankers wanted him out, while he's reaping the rewards at Real Madrid. Most teams at home don't lose 3-0 to their big rivals because they don't play attacking football like Arsenal. Yes, we have a vulnerbale inexperienced side, but I'd rather that then have players in their prime age who aren't that great. |

He's been working on limited budgets and such for the past four years - you can't exactly buy the Premier League like United and Chelsea when they are spending God knows how much on some overrated player. He's done very well to keep in touch with them and not to have been left behind so far that they're out of the Champions League position. Some Arsenal fans just don't have patience. I think Wenger deserves our patience for the meantime, considering what he's achieved at the club. |

Please don't compare our spending with Chelsea's. Our budget is closer to yours than it is to theirs. |

NL4E, you trout out the same bollocks every time we have a bad result. In "your opinion" it is AW's last season. Good job your opinion is worth fuck all then.
If he got sacked tomorrow and we were looking around for the best available manager in the world, do you know who the best candidate would be? Arsene Wenger.

I know the EPL is probably the richest league in the world at the mo, but when you see those figures in black and white in front of you like that, its pretty unbelievable. When you look at the sums the likes of Hull and Newcastle have spent on utter shite. Still have a wee laugh when I see this - Joleon Lescott £22,000,000  |

Continue to support mediocrity, see where that gets you I find it sad that you don't realise what a tough situation Arsenal have been in the past few years. You do know Arsenal were going right down the shitter before Wenger came to the club, and god knows, there were much worse situations than the one they are currently in. How can you be so blind as to think that it's so simple for Arsenal? And I will continue supporting 'mediocrity' for the mean time because it will reap rewards. You'll be eating your words about Wenger one of these days. Every club goes through 'mediocre' stages. If you don't like it, go off and support another team because you know yourself there's a glory hunter wanting to get out. |
