FFS we get it lads. Everything is shit. Everyone is shit.
It was a brilliant goal that had me for one up and cheering. No matter who scored it. Giroud deserved the award. The award was for the goal, it's not some kind of backhanded condoning of Wenger. Jesus Christ, this place has absolutely gone to the fucking dogs tbh. We destroyed the chav in the FA Cup final and all it raised here from some was moans about Wenger. Take some joy in something Arsenal related. You are Arsenal fans first and foremost.
Honestly, and I've said this before, if you are now at a stage where you hate Wenger more than you love Arsenal, where every little thing Arsenal-related is poison to you, then really you need to consider taking a break from it all for a while because that cannot be good for your mental health.
And yeah yeah blah blah I know it's all his fault because of the impact he is now having on the club. We all want the old has-been gone, but he is going nowhere soon. Don't let him ruin
everything.
We have a bit of an issue here tbh. Most of our full time mods have packed up and fucked off. They are sick of reading the same repetative negative fucking stuff on almost every thread. Fine, you say, let them go... but the problem is we now have only a couple of mods active enough to read every post on every thread and keep the place open. This place was shut down once before because of a couple of innocent jokes, it is only ever one stupid post away from the owner saying "fuck this I don't need the hassle" and shutting it down permanently.
The tone needs to change around here. I would suggest we keep the Wenger-hate to the Wenger thread and not pollute every other thread by comparing and relating to Wenger everything that happens. We don't want to mod this forum like the old official forum where any post off-topic was deleted etc. But tbh if you guys cannot exercise some self-control we might have to look at something like that. And that would be a real shame because what made this forum different was always the random nature of the threads and the sense of humour of the posters - and the light touch of the mods played a big part in that.
Rant over, bitches.
Mate I totally agree with alot of what your saying, in particular the mental health part regarding the feelings of some supporters towards the club at the present time.
I do agree that not every thread should be polluted with hatred towards Wenger, Kroenke etc.
Most of us supporters are just so fed up with this club, players and the way they portray themselves as we became so accustomed to a club of class, passion and wanting to do the utmost to win on the pitch.
We all know what we know about Wenger and the board. They have honestly killed so much passion and love towards the club that it's led to the negativity on every social media platform and particularly in the ground.
If Wenger, the sole perpetrator of all this negativity because of his stubborn and arrogant nature actually did what's best for the football club moving forward and left last season, the negativity of supporters and this club would have dissipated dramatically.
Back to your points, yes not every thread should be polluted with Wenger hatred and negativity it's just unfortunate alot of our footballers are completely self absorbed tossers who we all know at the end of the day are picking up an enormous paycheck which we're all jealous of whilst maintaining the status quo that Wenger has set at the club which is one of apathy and excuses for a lack of winning big trophies which this club should be doing since making a champions league bloody final in 2006.
Do you think Barcelona would've tolerated not vying for titles since 2006?
Anyway, negativity side that goal by Giroud was probably up there with one of the best I've seen in my time as a supporter.
