Loads of empty seats, booing at half time, where has it all gone wrong.

You've got to feel for them. Must be tough being in their shoes, the TW@TS!

    To be fair, you can explain the empty seats because most people have season tickets and can't/don't want to go. The booing is a bit much but you can understand the frustation that every year they do alright and think something is possible, and then collapse.

    Still, I agree that they could be in a much worse position.

    @bigstermarra couldn't agree more, piers morgan sums it up for me calling for wengers head.

    Just shows that, at all levels, most fans are unhappy most of the time... if they choose to be.

    If you look at the levels of expectation and the price of a ticket, you can understand a few of them being a bit miffed at another season without any silverware.

    Most expensive club in Europe. I still had a heartbroken Arsenal fan trying to tell me how hard he has it etc. I just switch off.

    At the risk of sounding a bit Eurovision, doesn't it just basically show that all football fans are the same?

    I watched the Forest-Swansea play off semi with a Forest fan who spent the entire game moaning and slagging off the players and the manager.  Sums it up really.

    Bedner--VanKnobhead--Wiltshire  3 gobby little tossers. Just like the club and its fans.

    You spelt two of those names wrong, but the middle one looks right to me.

    Why was this pointless game on TV and not the relegation 6 pointer?

    Exactly my thoughts, though listening on the radio was pretty gripping.

    6% price rise next season... Wenger should walk in my opinion.

    FOD - sky selection was a joke. Clearly made when they thought Arsenal would be vying for the title but surely reversible? The SSN reporting on the Wigan/West Ham game was perhaps the most exciting passage of football I have(n't) watched this season!

    @Friend Or  Defoe exactly. Typical pandering to the top 4 clubs. I hope the person responsible for that decison is hanging his head in shame today that he chose to opt for a game with nothing on it, ending in a draw, over a cracking game ending in a relegation.

    Sky do this every year though - preferring to show a top four side or Liverpool rather than broadcast a meaningful game that neutrals might want to watch.

    Very similar to the end of curbs reign at charlton if you ask me. To those who don't go it seems like madness to question the manager but to those who go week in, week out, the predictability of each season becomes a bore and even though you know you have a great manager, things run their course and just have to change. Ferguson is unique but even he isn't immune to it. People want entertainment and relatively speaking, for Arsenal to go 6 seasons without a trophy and not spending any serious money, i can see why they are becoming disgruntled. We're lucky, finishing 2nd in league 1 next year will be cause for a street party.

    Just got back from an afternoon at Theatre Royal. Loads of the whinging tossers on the train on the way back. The conversation centred on Wenger doing the decent thing.

    Hope he does the decent thing a pops to The Valley to offer his services.

    I can't believe they want Wenger sacked after what he has done for that club....he may a whinging, one eyed bawbag, but he's also consistently turned out footballers of exceptional quality - if the team collectively grows a pair, they could be winning silverware all over the shop.

    Tied with Spurs for one of my least favourite clubs, if they didn't play attractive football there would nothing to like about them.  Piers Morgan is a fan, enough said.

    Arsenal have different aspirations to other clubs so 6 seasons without silverware would leave you peeee'd off as an arsenal fan
    And as we all know pretty football isn't as important as results and I'm sure arsenal fans preferred it when they were boring boring arsenal winning 1-0 and winning titles
    So for a few season ticket holders to not turn up to a meaningless game , we're hardly in a position to criticise when we prolly have more no shows than anyone percentage wise from our season ticket base but then we have different levels of expectation and ours have been missed by miles ! Their fans have just been told they're gettin a 6% increase in season ticket prices after the under achievements of recent years that's a proper kick in the teeth for them, imagine if that happened here , the floods of tears from our fans would solve any world drought

    I caught the last 20 minutes of the Arsenal Villa game in a pub near Euston, Arsenal fans using words like 'Shameful' they have no idea...., really they have no idea... 
    As soon as the final whistle went I walked 100 yrds onto my train and there,  lol and behold there was a a whole bunch of Arsenal supporters who had left the match ten minutes early and were asking me the final score !
    Just pathetic.

    Some cretin on my Facebook said he'd boycott buying next seasons shirt in protest until Wenger is sacked.

     

    Yup, that should do the trick mate.

    It would be interesting to know who was behind the decision not to invest at a higher level in players. With the change in ownership, and if it was Wengers decision, the unthinkable may be about to happen.

    I just read that they were protesting at the 6.5% increase in their season ticket prices? I believe a pal already pays 1200 for hers so 6.5% seems pretty hefty!

  • Bournemouth Addick

    Not sure I buy into this idea about them not investing in the team. The are very few clubs, Chelsea, Man City and Man U who can afford to spend £10m's on players. The rest will shell out that sort of dough but only if they've cleared the books a little bit or shifted an over priced player on themselves a la Liverpool and Carroll.

    Arsenal have consistantly spent well over the years but not so well recently e.g. Koscielny at £10m plus!

    I think they have spent money but just not particularly wisely or in the right areas..

    Point is if you are an Arsenal fan from Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Derbyshire etc, you didn't jump on the Arse bandwagon to see them not win silverwear, you would have supported your local club if you were happy with that. If you are not happy with the price increase, don't buy a season ticket, and go and see your local club instead, but they won't do that either. Feel sorry for the fans who live around there, it's not their fault their local team underachieve, but they can take solace in the fact that they can walk there, rather than spend hundreds of pounds a season getting the train in from the home counties...

    Although I agree with the general consensus on here that Arsenal fans don't no they're born I can see their frustration. From the ridiculously expensive price of tickets they pay and to see their team beat Barcelona and be challenging on four fronts, to then up with nothing must be infuriating. IMO I would love them to get rid of Wenger and with Spurs/City knocking about, without Wenger you have to wonder where Arsenal could end up in regards to top 4/5.
