This article is kind of directed at a fellow writer. A die-hard gooner who, as all other gooners, likes nothing more than to constantly have a pop at Spurs. Not naming names, although it does seem tempting.
Whilst I concede that it is pathetic for Spurs to bring out a DVD of a drawn game, it is even more pathetic that some Arsenal fans like my friends are complaining about Arsene Wenger after a few "bad" games and thinking they will end up in the championship by the end of the season.
To be honest, the greatest save Almunia has made in a long time has been with his bank!
At least Spurs are optimistic. Sometimes overcomplacent, but nonetheless optimistic!
Arsenal beat Manchester United last week at home—deservedly, I might add. The kids were alright as they played a full-strength Wigan team right out of the stadium with a
3-0 scoreline.
With all due respect, a UEFA Champions League trophy looks very much on the cards for Wenger. Even after 12 years, Arsene Wenger has still "got it in him" to glam up Arsenal's trophy cabinet with more silverware. Remember, the Emirates Stadium trophy cabinet has still remained unused since Arsenal moved in (technically).
I just think that even if Arsenal have a short string of bad games, they shouldn't get on their high horse and blast the manager. They have to understand that teams like Aston Villa can and do improve and they won't just lie down and let big teams walk over them like turf.
Do I have to go into the theory that the big-four get so used to winning all the time, that one loss sends them into a tail spin and flurries of anger at the manager who, up until then, took the team under his wing and pushed them forward?
Just get a grip and stop whinging. The league isn't a knockout format like the F.A. Cup.
You can't always win everything in a season and sometimes, you won't win ANYTHING in a season. Just ask my beloved Spurs team!
So I ask the whinging Arsenal fans, get a sodding grip! It could be worse. You could be fans of Spurs!
If Wenger gets the sack after doing so much and more for them by means of trophies from top-flight competitions, they could actually end up out of the top four and the only cups they'll ever see will be the ones they drink out of.

1. Please read the Community rules - you shouldn't publicly have a pop at a fellow writer on here mate, that's disrespectful.
2. I agree with what you've said.
I just suggest that you tone down your articles - and don't name someone in particular.. it can create a considerable amount of problems for the individual..
Other than that, your views on Arsenal and Arsene Wenger are correct.

Sorry, but I was just a bit annoyed regarding 'this person' with an article he wrote.
I will remove the name.
As you know, the Arsenal/Spurs rivalry can get extremely fierce sometimes. Therefore, anything would go if it was anywhere else.

Absolutely mate, not an issue. But just try to avoid naming people in your article.

I understand where David was coming from when he spoke about why he wrote the article.
Respect is a two-way street, and if the fellow in question didn't want to be mentioned in an article then he should be more thoughtful about what he writes.
What one person finds funny, another finds insulting and disrespectful.
This is a version of bullying, and should not be tolerated. Naming the person in question may not be the answer, but at least the point of "writing disrespectful" articles has been risen.

Yes - but rules are here for a reason. I don't think that we should marginalize anyone for their opinions.. everyone thinks that they are right, it's human nature.
But if someone crosses the line, I'd suggest that people deal with it more directly, rather than indirectly - this might just add fuel to the fire - which isn't really what this website is about.
I don't mind healthy debate, but debate for debate's sake.. redundant, no?

I wasn't aware I was debating for debates sake.
I made a comment about disrespectful articles.
Certain people had made a more direct approach.
This website is a beautiful thing, but everything can be twisted and used to perpetrate other agendas.
This will be my last comment on this article. By continuing this on, we are taking away from a good article about Arsenal fans and their current fickleness.

Well if teams like Aston Villa can and do improve by buying new players and putting in effort... Why the HELL aren't we buying more players and showing the desire they do 2 get ahead of them... WE SHOULD NOT BE LOSING AT HOME 2 ANY1... In this season we have lost more times at home already then we have in the previous 2 seasons.... NOT GOOD ENUFF!
