Of course it would
be silly to suggest that winning any game, cup or otherwise, isn't good for the club, but let
's remember just how problematic FA Cup success has
been for this club... I
'm certainly not going to suggest I didn't enjoy seeing Arsenal win, I
'm a fan of this club
first and foremost, but how bad
are things when you find yourself secretly wishing that your own
team lost so that just maybe real change would finally come... I resent this
team for even making me feel such thoughts and it
's going to take a lot of effort on their part to earn my trust again... this club has treated the fans so poorly that it has created an incredibly fragile and toxic environment, so much so that a «what have you done for me
lately» mentality has emerged... fans rise and fall depending on the results of each game because we don't have faith
in those
in charge to make the necessary changes to personnel and tactics... each time we win many fans attack any dissenting voices and make unrealistic claims about the players, the manager and the potential for unprecedented success... every time we lose the boo - birds run rampant, calling for heads to roll and predicting the worst... regardless of what side you fall on, it
's not your fault, both sides
are simply overcompensating for the horrible state of affairs that have
been percolating for several years... it
's hard to take the long view when those
in charge have lied incessantly and refuse to take any responsibilities for their own actions...
in the end, we
are trapped by the same catch - 22 that ManU faced upon Fergie
's exit... less fearful of maintaining the status quo than facing the unknown, which
was validated, wrongly or rightly, by witnessing the difficulties they have faced during this transitory period... to
be honest, the thing that scares me most
is that this
team has never prepared whatsoever for this eventuality, which considering our frugal nature and the way we have shunned many of our most revered former players
is more than a little disconcerting
i would like to see wenger make an open invite to any and all the invincible swho
