Haha…..I do go to away games here and there my friend, luckily I have been able to go to White Hart Lane for the past 5 years due to a contact. As for paying to watch Arsenal, I use to be able to easily pay when I was a Junior Gunner but as soon as I turned to an adult, it’s virtually impossible to afford a season ticket when paying for University fees….etc. I am studying a Masters currently too, which isnt cheap. I promise not every blog will be so negative in the future!!!!!!

Shukri!There are a good few hundred fans who get to every game and quite frankly are the only ones who are really entitled to lay into the players/manager like you just did.You seem to be pissed off with them pretty much all the time.Cheer up man..i went to the game last night.You should get to a few more away games and then vent your anger. There is a huge difference between paying to watch arsenal and grabbing a seat after a shift. I think I agree with NW5 Gooner.

I guess this blog is suppose to demonstrate my emotion, so obviously the tone will vary. Whether you choose to read it or not…its up to you, there are plenty of arsenal blogs but I do not want to simply copy what they say.

I feel Wenger saying we are still within a title shot on tv is only to keep the spirits of the players high, I doubt he believes it himself. I doubt anyother manager could do as good job as him with the lack of cash we have to spend.

As for me saying who he should of bought or who he should buy……plenty of blogs discuss that, and I will discuss it more but in my previous blogs I have suggested the purhcases of Arda Turan, Arshavin and Alonso would be great for us…..we need more width and techique in the team.

I am not an arsenal hater…….and yes i do have loyalty to the team, I am a Unversity student and I work part time at the armoury so I guess I attend every Arsenal home match. Yes I was at that game in the crowd but I did not boo Eboue, he did well yesterday but in my opinion shouldnt be playing first team football for us.

The tone of your article varies greatly from sentence to sentence. One minute they are a ‘bunch of pricks in an Arsenal shit’ and then they’re showing ‘brilliance at times’.
Wenger is apparently ‘in a dream land at times’ but do you deny he is one of the best managers in the world?? If you are going to slag off his managerial skills I would expect you to either suggest WHO he should have bought/should buy or WHO you think could do a better job as manager.

I won’t be reading this blog again to be honest, a very pessimistic article which at times regurgitates the arguments of most Arsenal-haters, but every now and then says something positive to prove you actually have some kind of loyalty to Arsenal.

Do you actually class yourself as an Arsenal fan?
I bet you were among those who booed Eboue off the field, or would have been if you attended matches.

Sorry but this needed honest feedback!
