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

horrible stuff, including from well before he was President.
Wenger is an amazing manager a consistent winner most managers get to a club the club signs all theses big players for him and say please win and the manager wins if luckey on to three seasons then fired cause the players got old and the manager
did hardly a
thing we habe a loual great you sad sack maybe arsenal fans we beat spurs on aggregate this season again thanks to mr. Wenger and if we
did nt get another poor official call would have been 1 - 0 up the sad
thing is we should be 3rd or second in table but stikers have underperformed regardless of beating united as we dominated them but lossed the players fell off in 5 games swansea westbrom stoke city watford bournemouth and lets mention
horrible officiating this year we have a great manager its just this year the bounces and calls havent gone our way i mean i love watching us constantly beat chelsea lets have a real assessment for once those games are the difference in the season right now and thats
not wengers fault the players faild to perform from winning positions
of course no team wants to lose but I can guarantee you that the reaction by the Chelski fans after today's results are nowhere near what would have occurred if we shit the bed on opening day... the difference is they have tasted EPL success on more than one occasion recently, they have won the Champions League and they have
done it with 3 different managers in the last 12 years with a similar, if
not smaller, wage bill than us... in comparison, we have been experiencing our own personal Groundhog Day with nothing to show for it but a few silvery trinkets that would barely wet the appetite of a world - class club... so it's time for Wenger to stop gloating over our week one escape act and make some substantial moves before this window closes or I fear that
things will take a
horrible turn when the inevitable happens... living on a knife's edge is no way to go through a full season of football and regardless of what side of the argument you fall on, you could feel high levels of toxicity in the air and that was friggin week one... I would much rather someone tried their best and failed, than took half - measures and hoped for the best
