    You are too kind!

    I don't know if I question fan loyalty exactly. In fact a pessimist probably needs more loyalty to go on supporting their team, than an optimist, if you think about it.

    Its more the, "Futility and the arrogance" (and I mean that in the nicest possible way) of, "Speaking out" against Wenger and the team. I mean you may feel a mistake has been made, but it is highly unlikely that we will ever get even close to appreciating all the factors that went into the mistake. Its when people start using words like "obvious" and "madness" that it all gets a little silly to me.

    I wonder if some of the team read some of the crap I'm sure we all write at some stage and piss themselves laughing about how little we all know about what goes on, and what they have to do.

    I mean after 5 million fans all blame Djourou for a defensive mistake, I wonder if Vermaelen sends him an email, saying, "Ha Ha, those idiots they never spotted I lost my man, sucks to be you JD!"

  3. Now seeing the players emails and texts to each other would be funny I am sure!

    Still, I am fairly comfortable saying, for instance, that Wenger completely ****ed up the transfer window and it was indeed obvious.

    how did you know I eat digestives? You work for GCHQ? £3.50 - tight-wad - you sure you're not related to Wenger?
    Any chance of making that a fiver?

    PMN (post meeting note) - my missus just told me she's seen a dodgy looking character in a hoodie sifting through our blue waste bags. that you jayram? Found my digestive wrappers, eh?

  7. She told me you just cant stop eating the damn things. She said, "one mention of digestives, and you've got him hooked".

    There is no way in the world Wenger would every raise an offer to include a packet of Digestives. That tight wad never goes above Rich Tea's

    he has been seen ducking into the local market stalls, I bet he'll look for cheap out-of-date digestives.

    Oooh nowt wrong with a good Rich Tea. I blame the influx of foreign investors when an honest Rich Tea biscuit is no longer good enough to bribe a man. Money has corrupted our once beautiful game.

  16. Right BTDM - spend a bit of time attacking me and disagreeing with everything I say - that should help!

    you're not a real supporter if you like caramel in your buns / biscuits. Just a plastic newbie.
