    Grow up. I asked you what you meant by people going because they love the club too much, it wasn't clear at all what you meant by that and still isn't to be honest. People go to support the club, our players need us both when we're winning and when were struggling, not doing a disappearing act when the going gets tough.

    Stop trying to act like a wounded victim because you didn't like me asking to you explain yourself.

    If disagree that Pep is inheriting a great squad. Yes, he has some top talent in Aguero, DeBruyne, Silva, etc. But their defense is a disaster area. Plus I still believe he's going to find the ultra competitive nature and the pace of the PL a bit of a culture shock.

    Leicester don't need any excuses. They have been the most consistent team. This is a whole season remember, of 38 games, not a snapshot of part of one. Having said this, I agree that I can't see them repeating this season. If, and it's a big if, they can keep the likes of Kante & Mahrez, they will need to add significantly to cope with the demands of CL. I'm not sure they can add what will be needed.

    Spurs, yes it's obviously a worry that we will struggle to cope with CL as well as the PL and other competitions. M.P. Is no idiot and I'm sure plans are afoot to add some more quality to the squad. I'll be bloody annoyed if there's not.

    If you don't think it's clear, that's your issue and not mine. I've made it abundantly clear. Not for the first time, you're just arguing for the sake of it.

    If you don't like my position on fans not going to games because they feel they need to enforce a positive change at the club, that's also not my problem.

    Not all of us are content with maintaining the status quo like you.

    Strawman argument and yet again, you've missed the point. Well done.

    I haven't acted like anything. You're trying to pick a fight for no reason at all. I don't know what your problem is, but you can go and cry to someone else because I'm not interested in engaging with pointless conversations with you.

    I'm glad we won. Think you can still take pleasure in your team winning yet be unhappy with the situation you're in.

    On the subject of fan power I dug out this.

    In 2011 (another rough patch) Gazidis said this:

    “We 100 per cent support Arsene,” Gazidis said. “I 100 per cent support him and feel he has done a fantastic job in a difficult period for this club.

    “Arsene has done a remarkable job to stay at the top end of the game, although we have to acknowledge we haven’t delivered trophies and that is critical for the club.

    “Ultimately Arsene is ultimately accountable to the fans — they ultimately make judgment. If you are seeing the relationship between the fans and the manager break down over time that is unsustainable. But I don’t think we are anywhere near that.”

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...t-him-to-says-Arsenal-chief-Ivan-Gazidis.html

    Whilst I love the man and hate the bile aimed his way I do think we're in need of a shake-up. Maybe if there's a shred of truth in the above statement things could happen as this is the worst I remember for general fan apathy and discontent.

    Im not picking a fight with anybody. I asked you what you meant by fans loving the club too much and you've gone all diva on me. <laugh>
