Fa...There is a self-fulfilling prophecy risk here.<br /><br />Fans are too easily swayed in both positive and negative directions. We could very easily have won some recent games (including Swansea) but we have not had the rub of the green. This is partly due to the galloping lack of confidence that courses through the team and results in chronic indecision. Players have visibly lost that 'I Am Better Than You' spirit that takes them past a man or lets them see that pass or fire that shot.<br /><br />This leads to a loudening frustration from the home crowd that makes that indecision and lack of confidence grow. Even our cock-sure players - AO-C, JW, SC, LP, MA - are now visibly shrinking.<br /><br />I am unashamedly pro-Wenger and I have a sneaky feeling that what might be considered as our worst team in years will produce a first trophy i yonks (albeit the CapOne Cup), a decent Champions League run and a 4th place finish.<br /><br />We just need our confidence back. And that's all of us.<br /><br />@kb_is_onAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22806182.post-30299221672517608642012-12-02T04:05:38.350-05:002012-12-02T04:05:38.350-05:00If we lose to Bradford I seriously think Wenger wo...If we lose to Bradford I seriously think Wenger would have to go. Love the man, but theres no star players there, no commitment to the team.

Some supporters can't or struggle to make the week games due to for example work commitments.<br /><br />2) Arsenal ST's are expensive. The majority of people are skint. We are forced to buy 7 cup games. You could feasibly save £35-70 per game depending on the price of the ST which in these tough times is alot of money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
