What a lot of old bóllocks.Originally Posted by Rich
Fans of 85 professional clubs would give an arm to be as 'boring' as we are. You're not interested in supporting the club, you're interested in the reflected glory that you think a title brings, and until you get one you're going to sulk.

10 characters? Pile of cund.
Anyway, didn't you admit you couldn't be bothered to go and support the team anymore yourself nowadays?

"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Well, I gave up my season ticket because I couldn't cope with sitting amongst these fúcking morons any longer, yes. The fact that I happily stood on the North Bank for years and years with never a sniff of success suggests that I didn't share this attitude of entitlement.
And anyway, chaps in their 50s shouldn't really be going to football matches any more. It's a question of dignity.
I mostly agree with that but it's really only about supporting the team, ain't it. Having a good old moan does not preclude one supporting the team.
What the club actually wants though is our money; our goodwill is an optional extra.

I am not bored of being in the top four. I am only bored when we fall over like a pack of cards, You can't win it every year but we should challenge for it every year and be beaten by a better team rather than by ourselves.

I've decided that almost every other team you can think of is actually "a better team than ourselves" because they all seem to lack the ability to consistently "fall over like a pack of cards".
I think Wenger's done it on purpose, unconscious of the consequences.

This has become familiar at Arsenal. Notice how we like to benchmark against the teams/clubs that are worse than us?
The problem, as ever, is the four clubs who wouldn't swap places with us.
I've always been amazed and grateful that we had a proud unbroken record in the top division and that occasionally we put together a team that could compete at the top of the league. You seem to be suggesting that if we're not at the absolute top of the pile, it's unacceptable.
I forgive you feeling entitled, that's a natural consequence of your unfortunate political leanings; no doubt you were brainwashed by some appalling Marxist teacher as a child and can't be held responsible. But I can't forgive the spoilt whining so easily.
