Arsenal - Post match thread

[Bill]

The club should not be surprised that most fans had left the stadium.
They had it coming.
The management for sticking with Their man when failure was there for all to see.


The team manager who stubbornly refused to change his outdated tactics whilst clearly weakening our team in the Premier league.

And the number of players who have been dog shit and then add those that have downed tools.

Anyone surprised at the mass walkout are deluded,that or haven't endured first hand the season we have.

 

[Shirley]

I don't know what made me more depressed, the players playing much better and still lost or that we fell to the same old mistakes of losing control in midfield and individual errors again.

Reading this thread will have you believe we did lose.

Come on you Irons.....straw clutching I know!

Booooo .. Insulting players or manager is wrong , and I personally never do that if they perform bad ..but if they don't show a fighting spirit , what's wrong with venting anger ..fans leaving yesterday showed we are unhappy ..we didnot put posters like arsenal fans do against Wenger ..neither did we boo the gaffer .. But then , given the quality we have , if we are not performing upto the expected standard , there is nothing wrong in criticising that .. Supporting through thick n thin doesn't mean not getting angry when we play like shit ..it means accepting we played like shit and still support unconditionally ..

I have no problem with venting a bit of anger...I even mentioned I've done it myself...but as the season comes to a close, and you get to the last home game, is it too much to ask to remain in the ground and showing some appreciation. This year, especially, knowing there were people out there who will not come back and a manager who was more successful than any in any three year period in our history!

Yeah, probably. And a large majority of thread is fans turning against fans. All the more depressing.

Tomorrow would probably be better and by Friday I would probably return to normal straw-clutching again.:)

One more game.thats what I keep telling myself. One more game and he's gone. I don't care where we finish,would be great if top four but whatever we'll start again from June 1st. I'll be dusting the passport off and ready to don the wristband will be heading off to some remote darkened corner of the globe.it will be wonderful to do that with something I haven't had all season. Hope.

Onwards and upwards city.

We have become very bitter supporters recently. We have become worse than Arsenal fans its rather sad, he is going anyway so I don't know why people have become like this , I expected better off certain posters and City fans.

Having read this entire thread, have to say I'm embarrassed to be considered "a fan" with half of you. Spoiled fucking brats who seem to think they are owed something the team was unable to bring them. Manchester City is not a player, a manager, a stadium or even a rich oil sheikh owner, it is something that is INSIDE YOU...unless you are a recently minted plastic, who has only known the up and up, and who thinks we are somehow entitled to win silverware every year. There are three pots to go around, four/five if you include the CL/EL trophies, and in the last few years we have won them all. What have our closest rivals done? United? One Prem. Chelsea? Top 10 finish this year as defending champions, which is the worst EVER defence of the title. Arsenal? Party when they get 4th and finally won a pot. Liverpool? Gaga over Klopp, because he might win the EL, which is the only way they are getting back to the CL for the past umpteen years.

Sadly, Mancunians seem to always revert to type when they don't get their own way. Winning? Life is good, the Sheikh's millions are giving us what we want, and the team are world beaters. Losing? Fuck the world, what is the Khaldoon-Txiki-Ferran triumvirate doing, and the players are "a bunch of lazy mercenaries who make more in a week than I do in a couple of years!"

Fucking joke! Either you are a REAL supporter, who does their best to go to games, supports the team to the hilt, accepts that not every game is going to light up your world, and even accepts that occasionally someone is going to beat you OR you are a whiny woman plastic fan (who may have only latched on to City for the recent glory) who cannot put up with an off season, where we only won one trophy, went further in the top European competition than ever before, but MIGHT have come up short for the CL, even though we are ALREADY ASSURED OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL NEXT SEASON! Cry me a river, you fucking plastics! You don't deserve the world class players who have been wearing sky blue recently!

Been watching City for the best part of 50 years and, apart from a period in the late 60's and early 70's, this is the golden age of Manchester City's footballing history. In fact, it is multiple times better, but I suppose I'm just a bit nostalgic for the local lads who made up that team, as that was when we became the club I adore.

If you are a City fan, you sing and support the team through thick and thin, and, at a minimum, you stay until the end on the last game of the season and clap off the players for doing the best they could for you...which has been pretty damn good for quite a few years now!

This thread is a joke, but it perfectly illustrates everything wrong with the City fan base, and why the Etihad rarely feels like the fortress it should. I'm not just some happy clapper who blindly supports dross, and I've done my share of moaning at a player or two depending upon the game and perceived effort, but I have NEVER booed a player in sky blue, I rise to clap them off the field regardless of the quality of their performance, and I only wish I had been watching this quality of football for the previous five decades.

Roll on next season...

I don't agree with everything you've said here, but this is one of the best posts I've seen on Blue Moon in a very long while.

WE played well yesterday and I can't be done with booing player/managers but I think Mercer would argue about the most successful three year period in our history.

Oh dear oh dear. what sanctimonious clap trap.
Support is a two way Street. We support the team - they do the best they can for us. They haven't even tried to do their best since October - game after game with zero psssion. Indeed, very few come over to clap the fans in appreciation of their support these days at the end of away games.
As to Pellegrini he's pissed 20 points against the wall with his line ups and tactical changes - often seemingly purposefully (I.e. Surely he knows what's going to happen if he does that/this?)
My only pleasure should we drop out of the top four is the manager and players will lose 1/4 of their wads due to a fall on performance related payments.
