Just a quick post to put this thread in its rightful place above the Spurs one, just like our league position

Glad to see i'm not so in the minority any more with the fans at the game showing their feelings at how cr4p we are. It's about time the blind 'in Wenger we trust' brigade diminished.

10th in the table is laughable at this point in the season and i've always maintained things had to get worse before they could get better and hopefully this season will be the one to put pressure on the board and Wenger. The team now compared to 10 years ago is a disgrace to the clubs's name and history of great players.

The one place to hurt Gazidis and his greedy mates is in the pocket, a rubbish season will hopefully mean reduced gate receipts no European cash cow qualification and serious questions being asked by the sponsors. Only then will they have to realise they need to spend money on players to compete. We are behind Swansea in the league for fvcks sake.

And the latest news on any new signings... Pepe Reina now that shows ambition in the January window

It just gets better Just how bad does it have to get before Wenger has to change or get sacked? Next season I think we'll be fighting off relegation places if Wenger remains. And still they haven't renewed Walcott's contract. No other Premiership club would put up with it, we've now lost to a string of **** teams including Norwich, Swansea, Chelsea and now Bradford 2 leagues below us.

This is the first season I can remember where I have hardly watched MOTD just because we are that bad I just can't stomach watching what are only low lights in our games.

Saw something today - average weekly wage of a League 2 player is £947, average weekly wage of last nights starting 11 for Arsenal was £59k Wenger should go, it's getting embarrassing now ...

Old age is setting in and forgetting only in this country could we have division 4 called division 2.

The comments on Sky Sports match report say it all for me, at last all the other supporters are finally losing the 'in Arsene we trust' boll0cks and seeing what he is really doing to the club. Unfortunately some of us saw it several seasons ago but many refused to believe it and now it's too late he's fcuked the club up good and proper. Even sacking him wouldn't help, what manager is going to want to come to a club with no transfer budget and a board hell bent on screwing the fans.

If we get rid of arsene though who will we realistically get to replace him? I agree it's the board that are shafting us

As for van persie, 1 good season after god knows how many years with horse placenta on his ankles, 12 months left on his contract, the wrong side of 28, 24 million seems like the deal of the century

We will be back one day competing for silverware once the fair play rules really hit home with the big spenders

The fair play rules are b0ll0cks, how long have we heard fair play rules will stop all the spending and still it continues. The like of Utc, City and Chelsea couldn't give a flying ****.

As for RVP I don't think Utd think they got a bad deal. His 1st season is far better than any player's 1st season at Arsenal where we always make the same old excuses of oh they need to settle in and oh they need to bond blah blah blah.

The rules will take a long time to kick in, I’m not saying it'll happen overnight, will be years before it starts making a difference (if they bother to properly enforce the rules that is)

RVP all I can say is f*ck him, took his wage for all them years on the physios table, one decent season and he wanted out, regardless of how the club was preforming he should of stayed, I’ll give him a season or two at man utd then he'll fall by the way side and it'll be robin who?

If the owners of chelsea, man utd, man city, decided to just walk out one day the clubs would be in the sh*t big time, it's like a little hobby for the billionaires, people become tired of hobbies especially when they are a money pit

don't get me wrong I want us to be competing with the best, buying and keeping the best players too but as a long suffering fan I’ll just have to grin and bear it until our next spell of success, could be next year could be in twenty years’ time whichever it will be I’ll be there

Could be worse you could have been a spuds fan gooner for life!!!!!!!!!!

Bollocks. The other clubs, maybe. Utd, nah. There is and would be a que of people ready to buy Utd. Remember we made our success prior to the Glazers, who haven't exactly splashed £100s millions in a couple of seasons like at Chelsea and City.

Misinformed garbage from a bitter Gooner as we took your best player

Man utd for many moons were the big spenders not always verysuccessful buys as I remember lol Ok maybe not through the owners but through big loaning banks
They spent past their means years ago; they have a highturnover but are still rather firmly in the red (excuse the pun)

RVP was our best player last year but that’s not saying muchreally is it?

Maybe if he'd been the best player in say 2002 then I would havebeen annoyed lol

Wonder how long before the rapist’s ankles give way

The only reason Utd are in debt is because of what the Glazers borrowed to purchase the club.

And as for RvP's ankles giving way, I'd hazard they'll go due to old age before your lot win silverware

Nothing to do with the high wages and transfer fees then? I’m sure Ferdinand was about 34 million with all the fees etc. back circa 2002 which would still be huge fee for any position now a days let alone for a defender back then

and wages, van persie snubbed arsenal for £220k a week at man utd, but still not as much as rooney who is on £250k a week

Not to mention the rest, that’s why man utd are up to their eyeballs in it

You’re right on the silverware there's no way we'll win any by January
