I haven't been to a game for ages now. I can't actually remember the last one.

I won't be going again until the club shows an interest in football is more important than finance.

Yep, me too, mate. I never thought I'd get to a stage where I feel so disenfranchised by the club I love... My intention was to not go again until Wenger is gone, but my son is so eager to get over for a game I will most likely fold and bring him. :|

I was not looking forward to watching us at the Stadium of Shit on Saturday and ended up really enjoying it! :barscarf: :lol:

Still, I can't bring myself to view the "champions" league with anything but a sense of moribund (thank you, Mr Partridge :wink: ) dread... but again, got a son to educate and raise in the way of The Arsenal so will watch it and try and gleam some comfort from his excitement and love of all things Gunners.

I missed the dead rubber in Basel for going to see Wimbledon v Brighton Reserves in the EFL Trophy. Tenner a ticket, decent game. Found out the score before we got the train home. Good on Perez for getting his hat-trick! Surprising to see forward movement for the goals. Have the team finally worked it our for themselves that going sideways is ineffective? :lol:

I missed the Stoke game as I was out for the afternoon with a family friend. As he's the only thing I have closest to a relative and he's 81, I'll certainly prioritise that over watching us pass sideways. Nice to see we won though, but I haven't seen the highlights yet. Seems that Hughes' Orcs aren't half the neanderthals that Pulis' Orcs were :mrgreen:

After that fucking abysmal effort tonight, I shall be returning to the safe haven of a none watching role until we enter the last cup we can win at Preston. Focus on getting pissed and eating too much over Xmas now, and look forward to football again on 7th Jan

I'm losing count mate - unfortunately we lost our resident superfan when Highbury JD picked up his ball and walked back home to Islington Town Hall otherwise I'm sure he'd tell you exactly how many

My happiest memories of this season have been the games I missed - I heard we were great in most of them and that things had changed for the better. Funny when I tuned in tonight and for the home games against the Scum and the debacle at Old Trafford I couldn't notice much difference!

Only game I've seen is the disgrace against Southampton. Haven't even had an elaborate excuse for avoiding most of them, just can't be arsed. Occupied with shite like visiting the family, walking the dog, or as was the case tonight, watching crap on TV with the wife.
