Being an Arsenal Fan Is Not Easy

Being an Arsenal fan aint much fun these days

 

When yer chief exec issues an apology to fans for getting knocked out of a cup tie by a lower league team

 

The writing is kinda on the wall

I still though believe there is light at the end of the tunnel for Arsenal

 

A victory tomorrow night vs Reading  n EPL a step in correct direction

 

Hopefully easier than the capital cup victory a few weeks back

 

Back to the turmoil though

 

Three fronts on this

 

1.         Usmanov has started to agitate again

Not helped by Lady BS and her tweeting

2. Fall out between Arsene and Stevie Bould seems to be getting more air-play

3.         Transfer season beckons and Arsene gives mixed messages

 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/9743165/Arsenal-manager-Arsene-Wenger-pledges-to-stick-to-his-transfer-philosophy-despite-his-worst-start-to-a-season.html

 

Caught between a rock and a hard place re point no 3

 

No one more than me wants to bring through youth football

 

(As a Rangers supporter I look forward to the famous Scottish club getting the opportunity to go down the divisions and build a model similar to Ajax, something not possible if they sat in the top division)

 

For the life of me

 

In this transfer window I do not see arsene getting the benefit of the doubt here for another season

 

The team needs big players

 

They need to be bought

 

And they need to be bought now

 

As for points 1 & 2

 

Unhelpful and need to be managed by the club

 

Back to the game tomorrow

 

A victory will push us into 5th place

 

2 points behind Spurs

 

Level on points with WBA and Everton but ahead on goal difference

 

On a positive note Jack lad is making good noises

Although wish he would stay away from reference of wanting the arm band one day

 

Know the jinx that has on us

 

Bottom line in all this

 

I am still looking forward to the game

 

And that is the main thing eh?
