Scary as fuck really, isn't it.
It's always made me laugh when people talk about facism in pre war Europe and then say "it could never happen here". I now have my perfect response......Wenger's Arsenal and the 60,000 (and more) cultist disciples that swallow all the deceit, spin, contradictions, doublespeak and downright lies. Fuck me, never mind Europe, but Pol Pot, Mao and the Kim's in North Korea pale by comparison to the God that is Arsene.
Anyway, I'm just praying that the scum and the chav's "reverse psychology" works.
Tuck me you lot ain't doing to bad on the extremism front mate
Relying on your rival scum supporters to get your manager out
Is as low as any supporter could go
Imho
Well, in the absence of assistance to get him out from fellow Gooners, I'll take help from wherever I can get it. Thing is Herbert, you're missing the point with those that think like me. When I hear them singing that (AND meaning it...and I don't blame them) it fucking hurts.
I've been supporting this Club since earliest memory (it's a family thing) and that's over 50 fucking years. Realistically, it was from the late 60's that I was old enough to have an understanding of what I was looking at. Anyway, I've always dreamed of us being a real powerhouse, seriously dominant domestically and seriously competitive in Europe. The type of team we had in the 30's. That of course, is the dream of the supporters of every club, but for us it has never been an unrealistic desire. We've flirted with fairly short periods of, if not complete dominance, certainly success, but have always frustratingly failed to build on it.
When we started to build the new stadium, as much as I loved Highbury, I thought it might be a genuine step towards seeing my dream realised and the Club promised us as much. After the lies, spin, excuse making and general dishonesty and deceit of the years since the move and the greedy, selfish, egotistical self-interest of the liar-in-chief, I've had a fucking basin full of it and can't take anymore.
I support The Arsenal, it's a concept, an abstract, an emotional tie to an ever-changing institution, where managers, players and board members, come and go. Some are good, some are bad, some are indifferent, but through it all, my love is for the Club and it's the Club's interest that I put first. We have a situation where, in my opinion, the manager (and the board) are not only holding this great Club back, but are inflicting untold damage upon it.
So....and I don't want to fall out with you and don't take this personally....but if you, or anyone else thinks that my acceptance of any means to rid the Club of this current disease is low, or underhand, I really couldn't give a toss. Somewhere inside, not quite extinguished by this rotten regime yet, lies that old desire to see my team, my Club, as the greatest on earth. It might never happen, but I refuse to accept a management of the Club that are actively preventing it from happening.
You're entitled to your opinion Herbert, but the time will inevitably come,in 6 months, a year, two years, 5 years, maybe more, when the real problem at the Club will dawn on you. Until then, I'll support anything to see him gone and I'll try to respect your view.
