Yeah I agree somewhat - some fans are very over entitled and spoilt. Arsenal post Wenger will have some very bad years in terms of consistently poor league finishes. I hope we shed some them then
No. This isnāt to demean Arsene or his achievements, but he did not build this club into greatness. Arsenal were already a great club and one of the biggest in the whole country.
His fantastic work ensured that we remained a great club when we could have gone the other way from the mid nineties onwards. I will always give him great credit for doing so.
But Arsenal were already a great club.
Who are you to decide who can and canāt support our club?
Are you some sort of control freak, that canāt stand criticism and who has to decide that because people who have differing points of view must be wrong.
You sound like Wenger, the man that can do no wrong.
Do you work for the clubās PR department?
lol Been a gooner for 35 years and I support Arsenal, not Arsene. I have however never climbed up on a high horse like yourself, acting as if Iām better and claiming that others arnt āfansā. Thatās a despicable attitude to have and says a lot about a person.
Ok ArsĆ©ne, but hurry up, as itās almost the end of august.
On the basis of what?
Like other managers couldnāt come in and get more from this team? Actually inspire the team and instill a stronger mentality? Coach better? If the club starts to drop away from top four and experience a sharp decline it will be down to Wenger.
The beginning of dark times would be sped up by one of either Sanchez or Ozil leaving or both due to broken promises and pure underachiecement. That will not be the new managers fault whatsoever.
I also donāt buy this, āentitledā nonsense either.
These empty threats of not watching the games on the to anymore are more the actions, or protests, that I was referring to.
Nor did I say how long you have supported Arsenal, you can still be spoiled.
The spoiled notion is a bit silly. Fans merely want the best from their team, and whilst we have the money we reportedly have, we should be doing a hell of a lot better.
I donāt get this either.
How are supporters āentitledā or āspoiled?ā[quote=āArsenal, post:765, topic:415ā]
EDIT: your post history suggests that you are one of those spoiled āfansā.

We are told constantly by Wenger and Gazidis, that we will only buy super quality and can compete with anyone for the worlds best players, yet all we see, every transfer window, are the same excuses of ānot meeting with our valuationā and " no players were available.
If spoilt means wanting what you have been promised, not wanting to be lied to and not wanting to see the same repeated mistakes, then I suppose youāre right, perhaps we are spoiled.
Then perhaps you would prefer us to go down the road of perpetual mediocrity and watching the same underwhelming players.
I agree with you, but that is not what Iām referring to.
I want Arsene to spend money.
I believe we should improve the squad.
I think Arsenal have been negligent to not have a striker in.
I want Arsenal to win the title.
But some of the hissy-fits on here, coupled with the somewhat violent mockery of Arsene, are the focus when I refer to them as spoiled.
Nah bud, weāre 20 years in. Shit doesnāt just magically reset each year.
I still think weāll make a Ā£50-60m signing
On the basis on the competitiveness of the premier league and the general nature of football really. After Wenger goes Arsenal will not be in the top four (Iām using top 4 as a measure of consistency and quality) for 20 years in a row.
Iām not saying after Wenger goes everything will immediately collapse but there will obviously be a period in the future where we spend a few years in the wilderness this is just a fact of football really. Weāll have some good appointments and some bad ones too, If it can happen to Liverpool and Utd then it will certainly happen to Arsenal.
And if the club does start to fall away it will be anything but Wengerās fault imo, Wenger would have left a solid, young, top four squad if the man after him canāt improve on that then how is wengerās fault? After all donāt so many claim Wenger is āholding us backā that would indicate the next guy has the ability to get more out of the club. ie league titles and CL semi finals
The way some people talk is as if Ozil is halfway out the door, I donāt think itās as bad as some make out. Lets see what happens time will tell. tbh Iām not bothered by Alexis or his contract tbh.
There are some over entitled fans you canāt deny that with a fanbase so large, letās see how many people stop following Arsenal after a few years tough years. We need a bit of purge anyway
People saying we will have a few tough years when wenger leaves. Lol well we canāt be going much worse than we are now with wenger.
in reality, as much as I love Wenger (starting to annoy the hell out of me now though) we have had tough years WITH him for such a long time now. Will we have tougher years after him, maybeā¦maybe not. The problem is one day he IS going to retire, so I think might as well change the guard anyway because the club needs a new direction if we struggle so be it we are struggling now anyway we need fresh impetus now.
What a fucker he is. I can whack my laptop open right now and give you several options we could have started scouting from Football Manager.
Seriously though, does he honestly think people are that stupid. Out of all the football players in the fucking world weāre struggling to find 2 or 3. Somebody really is taking the piss.
You donāt things will ever get worse than now for Arsenal?
No. We are between 4th and 6th right now. The next manager is gonna have to be awful to do worse.
Even Moyes got Utd 6th?
Maybe I missed the part of the press conference where Arsene announced you became the Chief Judge of Supporters.
Thereās a big difference between sneaky negotiations and some of the garbage Arsene comes out with during press conferences. Over the last few years heās become condescending towards the fans. Nobody cares how much Rob Holding costs if he does a good job. Nobody cares if the club employs 600 people because I think we all recognize transfers arenāt paid from club employee salaries.
I surmise from your posts that youāre older than I am so I probably fall into the entitled Millennial category of support that you so despise. The truth is that supporters like me (younger and oh no! FOREIGN!) are the future of this club. Itās possible for me to love the club and also hate how itās run, how Arsene runs it and all that.
I do appreciate other posters on here pointng out how ludicrous you were to think you should determine who supports the club.
I suggest you put that animate meme in to assert your age?
Firstly, Iām under 30, and that may surprise you.
Secondly, we each have people who are on our side. I do not disapprove of your point of view, I just pity the way you express it.
