    Sad scenes and I say that as one who can casually dismiss it all as being simple a game, which of course it is.

    I blame Wenger personally and entirely. So much around the club at the moment appears from the outside to be shambolic from playing performance to imminent future planning to supporter behaviour to catering.

    I'm sure everything is under control, sw.

    I don't watch a lot of lower league football, but I do wonder how low you'd have to go these days until you hit the level of crapness required to be a mid-table First Division side in the early 80s.

    You are correct, sad times

    It's a boring soap opera, Wenger playing around, it's ****ed the players, it's ****ed the season, ****ed the next season, and divided the fans more than ever. We've even got idiots fighting each other at the emirates. I mean what the hell is going on here.

    I blame Kroenke, the rot starts at the top and the fact that he just seems happy for us to coast along with no specific goals being set

    As much as anything because of how intelligent he is. As you say, remarkable.

    Perhaps so but then they are doing a fine job to suggest otherwise, 7 or whatever games from the end of the season and a large degree of uncertainty about who will be leading the team come July 1.

    But then we can relax as we are always told we are a club that does things correctly.

    Thing is PSRB we have spent money and we have some top players. (or I thought we did). We just turn up every match the same way and it doesn't work like it used to.

    They can't have all turned ****. We've got world cup winners in the squad. You can replace the players and it's the same again.

    Easier just to take a Pulis team and medically extract all the skill.
