So i had a miserable weekend in terms of Arsenal that is, otherwise it was quite pleasant actually and my misery was compounded today, so on the weekend we went crashing out of the cup with a loss to blackburn and today albeit a much stronger Bayern side trashed us 3-1.
I have mentioned previously in posts that when Arsenal lose and i don't care to whom i have a miserable day, i am angry, i am frustrated and i feel like i am never going to watch football again, but come game time i am desperate to see them play.I guess most fans passionate about the game and their team are like me, but there comes a time when i have to question myself, why do i even bother watching anymore? its not like we are going to win anything? the satisfaction of finishing above spurs is there every season but it seems unlikely this season,, which brings me to Arsene Wenger.
I have long believed that Arsene has done great things for the club and he still is the right man for the job, but everytime something like this happens i question myself and my judgement.I read a lot of blogs primarily sports related and from what i can see there are an equal number of people now in both camps, i.e. the For Arsene Camp and the Against Arsene Camp.I still do not know where i Fit in, i was in the For Arsene Camp but now i am on the FENCE.
I do believe however that replacing Arsene is not the solution,as people on blogs like Le-grove may lead you to believe, it may be part of the solution but definitely not the end game, the entire heirarchy should go, i mean Gazidis, Hill-Wood, Kroenke, the lot, easier said than done considering Stan the Man owns close to 70% of the club.NOTHING and i repeat NOTHING will change just by firing arsene, and besides he makes money for the club so the other three are happy with him anyway. Ironic how Arsene always talks about running a club responsibly in financial terms and i agree completely, i would hate for a Sugar Daddy to take over and us become like Chelsea or City but he(Arsene) can take a page from the club that beat us today, Bayern Munich, the club is run like a well oiled machine and i don't mean in footballing terms but i mean as a business and they still attract some of the biggest names in world football something i think Sadly my beloved Arsenal does not anymore.
I am not a writer and i don't have a lot of time so in conclusion, here is what i think,
For Arsene Wenger: Finish in the top 4 secure Champions League Football for next year, then spend and i mean spend a lot in summer, forget about turning in a profit
For the Board and Kroenke: Let Arsene Spend and if he does not MAKE him
For the Fans: Support the team so that we finish in the top 4 and if changes do not happen this summer time for an Arsenal Revolution next year, similar to the Arab Spring, stop following games, buying merchandise,etc., a fan-blackout of sorts, let the club lose money and then maybe we will see some action on the part of the owners and the manager( i sincerely hope it does not come down to this)
Adios for now!
