Shocking that Gooners are cheering RVP's apparent injury. We should wait until we know for sure that it's serious before we celebrate!! MickyDidIt89 says: September 11, at pm 26, Robustly optimistic. Wah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Total says: September 11, at pm Chas 9. I watched the first half of Holland against Hungary on a stream, and the east-European central defenders were clearly Arsenal supporters! Then I made the mistake to switch over to the England game, for the second half.
Where did Hodgson play the Ox for feck sake? Totally underused, except for a few minutes towards the end when he was moved centrally, instead of deep on the left wing. Sooo infuriating. Hi LB — your one-liners are often brilliant and I love this one. Indeed, what a waste of an Ox! I could have castrated myself with a chainsaw tonight, but decided on the more masochistic experience of watching England play. Chas…that looks like the love child of fat Frank and the Bill Murray of Caddyshack…but..
Life is about to be good again. Internationals done. No Arsenal players badly injured. Olympics and their pathetic parade done. Nasty hot sun gone. No more mention of Fred Perry. Stoke away done. Three days to Proper Football. It was strange to see how deepO-C played last night. I thought he played well as a covering DM though it was a waste of his talents. Good for his development but perhaps not for his confidence. He knows how good he is, we know, Arsene knows and the Fans know.
The ox could be rested on Saturday, two games and a bit of travelling could be a bit much for the young lad. Walcott, if fit, is a possibility. I just hope that the Diaby scare is our only worry after another round of exciting Internationals.
Misleading article. The producer is a Millwall fan! Adrian Durham dislikes Wenger especially but Arsenal in general. Irresponsible articles like this do not stick up for our club. We should all be united in this, not trying to explain the constant slagging off of the club we love. Go write for the Spuds mate. There is some validity but I will take hold opinion until I look into it further.

The answer to that question is almost certainly yes, but probably not as much as we think. Rocky posed an interesting question recently: is Wenger planning a December surprise? Put simply. Right now the squad is big enough, good enough and strong enough to win the league. Onwards and upwards my fellow Gooners. Written by LB. Like this: Like Loading September 11, at am.

But tonight lacks the kind of neck-throbbing rants that Moses finds so embarrassing. If AFTV is part of the problem, it is certainly not all of it.
All these factors add up to this image we have of being spoilt twats. Now, these millennials, who have a platform, are savvy on social media, and are disgruntled about Arsene Wenger, can tell the world.
A generation of fans around the world suckled on the teat of The Invincibles — the Arsenal team that went the season unbeaten — often solely on TV. Rightly or wrongly, they expect more and think they know more. And while older fans whinge at the pub, millennials go global.
Maybe things would change if Arsenal fans have some kind of collective ego death, forgetting all that has gone before. Or if we just won the league. Both unlikely. So perhaps we just suck it up. Then, for decades, they hated our boring football. Defiantly, we liked that. Now they hate our fans. Perhaps we should embrace that, too. Perhaps, perversely, our incessant airing of dirty laundry and internal bickering — and the ridicule it brings — could be the one thing to unite us all.

What about this notion of media obsession? Probably not. This may be a symptom of modern football as a whole, but when you think of fans getting bent out of shape by transfer inertia, you typically imagine them wearing Arsenal's colours.
It's hard to prove, of course, but it's a virtual certainty that the club's Twitter account was the first to feel the grating force of the "announce player X" meme. While Millennium-era Arsenal are often associated with all that is good and pure in the game, they were as nasty as anyone in the league. We've all seen the footage a thousand times, so the events following Manchester United vs Arsenal in don't need further description — other than to say, of course, that it's one of the ugliest, most petulant sequences in the Premier League's history.
It also exhibited a side of that team which has been largely forgotten: while Millennium-era Arsenal are often associated with all that is good and pure in the game, they were as nasty as anyone in the league. That disciplinary record wasn't a myth; they really did do their share of bullying and they weren't quite the benevolent evangelists they're now claimed to have been.
Like some kind of dreadful social media melanoma, this began in the late summer of and is still in evidence today. These are people who fix "witty" bumper stickers to their cars and who write passive-aggressive notes to their neighbours about trivial issues. Is it dislikable or just strange? It's a curious blend of the two, making it as Arsenal as something can possibly be. He's not the typical Arsenal fan, of course, but he's still the perfect caricature imagined by rivals - all absurd over-reactions and shallow posturing.
Try — try — to separate Morgan from his present day "attention at any cost" persona. Forget Trump, forget his cringeworthy online exchanges with Sugar, Lineker et al. He's not the typical Arsenal fan, of course, but he's still the perfect caricature imagined by rivals — all absurd over-reactions and shallow posturing.
No patience, no real love and no third gear beyond crowing smugness and furious anger. Beyond the ferocious tedium of the more general debate, the way Wenger has been treated by a small section of the fans has occasionally been thoroughly unpleasant.
