People can ask if they like, and I'll laugh my arse off at them, why wait until today to ask? Why not when we lost the semi final or the day the chavs won the league?...I know why, it's because they've been gobbling off to their Woolwich mates that Chelsea would smash them today, and now they look like ****s.

Nothing to do with being a superfan...it's not Pochs fault Wenger has won as many Fa cups than we have in our entire history.
Fucking embarrassing fanbase we have sometimes.

If your aiming that at me, you couldn't be further from the truth if you tried...

Because it's knee jerking. The question comes up just as Arsenal win a trophy. Why does Arsenal winning a trophy affect how long Poch gets as our manager? Completely unrelated.


I don't see how it's knee jerking. I'm not knee jerking and I had to cycle through the ****s outside the pubs, car horns going off, flags and scum shirts everywhere.

It is related as they are our rivals. Look how they reacted as we bested them in the league.

You can't just close your eyes and put your fingers in your ears and say to yourself this isn't real. Wenger has just won as many Facups as we have.

No one is saying Poch isn't doing a great, if not amazing job.

Still don't get who you're aiming that at @Gb160 . I haven't said anything negative about poch (all season) or on this forum and I've just asked another poster how long they personally would give him to win something.

Seen as wenger, a manager arsenal fans seem to think is destroying their club , has just won the 3rd fa cup in 4 years. I thought it would be interesting to see our own fans expectations of our manager. See how it translates to them down the road.

Fair question I thought bit apparently not!

It's not about trophies for me and quite a few others I've spoken to, course they'd be nice but I'd take our season over Woolwichs every single day of the week, i'll probably get slated for this but I'd go so far as to say some of their fans (believe it or not there are some ok gooners) actually deserve today after the shit they've had to sit through for the majority of this season...but let's see how happy they are about their FA Cup when they're pulling the balls out for the Europa League.

Maybe if we were showing signs of regressing it'd be a valid question to ask, but considering the timing of it, its just textbook knee jerkism.
You're entitled to ask the question, no ones stopping you, but I'm entitled to think you're a bit mental for doing so mate.

Is it too early to ask when Kane and Alli are leaving then? (n)

Fair enough. Don't get the knee jerk thing in my case though but ok. It's a term that gets chucked around to much in this place imo. Especially when you consider the whole idea of this place is to discuss different topics, ideas, opinions etc. Now if someone states an opinion with that question then ye I get that as being knee jerk.

As for where I stand on it. I believe poch needs more time. I think we can't expect too much next season and I'm ok with that (within reason e.g still top 6). I trust the bloke but I will get twitchy if we haven't won anything in the next 3 years.

I wouldn't swap our seasons with manu or arsenal either.
