    Some of the so called Arsenal fan’s ought to be ashamed of themselves because that display yesterday sickened me to the pit of my stomach.
    l mean haven’t they got the brains to realise, that ok since 2004 the only silverware that we have won is the two FA Cups & two Charity Shields,but just stop a minute & think back over what Arsene has
    done for this great club, and if you are any true sort of supporter just put your energy into supporting the club & manager & our players!!!!!!!!!
