It’s official. Arsenal FC couldn’t give a toss about its fans. You only have to look at AW’s press conference on Friday and his response to a question from a journalist at the session:
Q: You've had a fantastic career here and no-one is disputing that, but can you understand why some supporters wish there was a bit more experience there, thinking about what you may achieved if there was?
A: "I'm against superficial judgment, that's what I fight against. For example people ask 'why don't you buy central defenders?' We have a better defence than Man United if you look at the numbers, but nobody mentions that. And should we kick Vermaelen, Djourou and Szczesny out? What for?
So the fans’ judgment is ‘superficial’ is it Arsene? Granted we are a passionate bunch, and at the moment we definitely have conflicting opinions regarding the current manager. But to insinuate that the fans’ judgment simply doesn’t matter, or is not worthwile is complete bollocks. We are the most important asset to this great club – without us Arsenal simply couldn’t exist.
I can guarantee you that not one person has asked AW to sign players in place of Szczesny, Vermaelen or Djourou because quite simply, they are some of our only reliable performers at the back. What we need, Arsene, is a world class centre half to compliment some of the talent we already have and to take the place of players like Squillaci who are just not good enough for the level we demand. We may have conceded less goals than ManUre, but don’t try and take us for mugs and tell us we are better at the back. Is there anyone out there who would rather have Squillaci and Koscielny than Ferdinand and Vidic? It’s obvious that we need some more experience and depth at the back, so we don’t have to rely on sub-standard players when TV and JD are injured. That’s not even mentioning our lack of on field leadership.
And then, you get that complete a***hole that is Peter Hill Wood emerging from a haze of cigar smoke claiming:
‘I simply cannot believe he will react to these stupid comments from these silly people. They are supposed to be supporters, but, in fact, they do quite a lot of damage.’
Peter Hill Wood is a complete p***k who for some reason believes that because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, went to the most elitist school in this country (and possibly the world) and was handed our beloved club by Daddy that he is Mr Arsenal. It just goes to show how out of touch and removed from reality the board of this club are. This w***er has no idea what it feels like for us fans, and how much it hurts, when we are swept aside and capitulate at the same stage of the season year after year. As far as I’m concerned, you can p*** off back to the hole you climbed out of you arrogant, posh s***bag. I’d much rather Kroenke, who looks like an extra from an 80’s porno, than a idiot like him in control of The Arsenal.
One last word, before I am brutally burnt at the stake by the AKB brigade – I love Arsene Wenger and what he has done for this club. Our first team is far from the worst in the league and there is not much difference between our current position and an all conquering side. I firmly believe that AW is the man to take us to glory but he just needs to stop being so bloody stubborn and strengthen the depth in the squad. I’m not advocating a massive transfer spree, just to add the extra quality we desperately need and to cut out the deadwood in the current team.
