Arsenal Thread 2013/14

[supercrystal7]

Wonder how many gooners are cringing with embarrassment after having their booing of a side having a great season (2nd in title race) still stayed in touch (a remarkable achievement given some pretty major injury problems) AIRED ON TV FOR ALL TO WITNESS ! they should hang their heads in shame no wonder some of their players are on the pitch hearing it thinking why the fuck bother when your own fans do that ..........SHAMEFUL.

I understand some of their frustration at the board. They have the most expensive tickets and pay a fortune to watch their team play. Instead the board make huge profits and spend nothing on the players. Every year Arsenal make a profit and sell some of their best players. To direct the booing and the groaning at the players, who are having a great season is very bad support. The groans started very early and happened after every bad pass. How can you groan when a 20 year old makes a mistake. It was a game they could have won if the crowd had been with the team.

Not when you have a negative net spend over five years. For all Arsene's faults he is doing a great job considering the quality of player he has lost and not had the money to replace: RVP, Nasri, Song, Fabregas, Hleb( was very good for them before he left), Adebayor, Clichy and Kolo.

Ozil has been far from the invisible man. Struggling now with his form and is tired, but it's more the tactics than him costing Arsenal. Without Ozil I don't think Arsenal would have made top 4 and would be in the Europa League.

He's been no more than a liability in recent weeks but i do take your point about the Arsenal boards failure to make good the losses to Arsene's squad, I too think Wenger has done a remarkable job there which makes the Gooner booing even harder to comprehend !

If Arsenal would have done their homework on Ozil before he signed then it is no surprize that he has gone off the boil. He struggled for fitness in the Spanish league and was regularly substituted for Madrid. So its no wonder his form has dropped after playing so much football. To be fair he's not the first player to move from Germany and struggle for fitness. I'm sure Van Der Vaart had similar problems.

Also Ozil is still a quality player but he is a luxury player. You put him in a world class team and he will make them better. However he isn't the type to drag a team to glory. Watching him play it is clear that he is on another wave length to the majority of players with his vision, only Silva comes close to him. But when the rest of the team aren't performing then Ozil becomes a liability.

'Arsenal are like a girlfriend who doesn't love you back': Season ticket holders could boycott Bayern home clash after being told to pay £132 for tickets

Arsenal fans are snubbing next week’s glamour Champions League clash with Bayern Munich because of sky-high ticket prices.
Season-ticket holders must pay between £62 and £132 to attend the first leg of the last-16 showdown.
And that has put off supporters whose season tickets do not cover the Bayern game.

Steven Maxwell, who pays £1,995 for his gold-level season ticket, will miss the match after being quoted £117.98 for his usual seat. He said: ‘I take no pleasure in doing this. It’s like fighting with a loved one. Arsenal are like a girlfriend who doesn’t love you back.’
Arsenal Supporters’ Trust spokesman Tim Payton said: ‘We are very concerned. Season-ticket holders have already paid up to £2,000 in advance — the highest in world football. Their commitment deserves better. Arsenal’s grasping approach will have a detrimental effect on the noise in the ground, harming the team’s chances for an important game.
‘Ivan Gazidis (Arsenal’s chief executive) promised that when commercial revenues rose it would reduce ticket price increases. To date, those are just empty words.’

By contrast, Bayern are paying £24.80 towards the cost of their supporters’ £60 tickets for the match.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is prioritising Wednesday’s visit of Bayern over the home FA Cup tie against Liverpool on Sunday, when he is considering resting key men.
Wojciech Szczesny, Mikel Arteta, Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud could all miss the match against a side who thrashed Arsenal 5-1 last Saturday.

Wonder if Arsene will mention anything about this..Wanker

 

[Gillespie]

As a season ticket holder at the Arse, I am treated more and more like a customer rather than as a fan and I guess that is true now of fans at most clubs in the Premiership.

Well, as the customer is always right and as someone who would never boo his own team (might I say that in the away end at Anfield last Saturday, I and most of the Arse fans stood at the end and applauded our players off the pitch despite the debacle that had previously ensued), I would still defend the rights of those who want to complain to the Board by chanting or booing in frustration at the end of a game even if I disagree with that, which I do.

What sticks in the craw is the self satisfied sermonising of other fans based on the assumption that they are somehow morally superior. All fans are the same and in the same situation you will see similar reactions. A mistaken belief in one's own moral superiority is not just self indulgent but delusional.<br /><br />-- Fri Feb 14, 2014 12:48 pm --<br /><br />

Is it true that trees don't grow in St.Helens? I heard that from a guy in Wigan, who also happens to be a blue ;^)

Ozil has contributed more assists than Silva this season and the same amount of goals.

Obviously not shit.

9 out of 10 people enjoy gang rape. Stats mean fuck all.

Silva is twice the player Ozil is.
