If that were true, then 4/5ths of clubs worldwide would not have proud fans because very few clubs (in the totality of clubs) actually go on to win trophies.

You feel proud for what your club stands for, its history over time (not just the past couple/7 years) and what it means to you. Yes trophies are a part of that, especially for a club that sees itself at the top end of football, but never should the club's overall value/status begin and end in trophies.

debosky: Without the dodgy penalty decision Arsenal would still have won.

dayokanu: So Arsenal cant win a league game without either a red card or fraudulent penalty calls?

edoyad: Without the dodgy penalty Bayern got today Augsburg may have won.The penalty demoralised them.

so what does arsenal stand for? turning a profit and qualifying for the CL shey?

For all their lack of creativity, West Brom felt aggrieved and were entitled to. [size=14pt]Santi Cazorla's dive for Arsenal's first goal was the type that has more notorious players labelled enemies of the game. For the clinching second, referee Mike Jones should have awarded a foul to West Brom for a pull on Goran Popov before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain went on to be clearly tripped by Chris Brunt. The Baggies could perhaps also have had their own first-half spot-kick when Per Mertesacker handled in his own area, only for a mystery infringement to be levelled against Jonas Olsson.[/size]

The visitors were deserving of little but they might have hoped for better officiating. "We got the poorest of a really good group of referees," an angry Steve Clarke said of Jones.

4llerbuntu: See what we are saying? Somehow a part of u wonders if there is not some conspiracy involving wenger n the league contenders. Arsenal determines who wins d league these days.

The moment that goal went in it just strikes u. Great "footballing" reason for selling van person

debosky:

What are you saying? The same thing you said when Wenger sold Clichy and Nasri that f****d up for the goal?

Yeah Arsenal determines who wins the league these days. . . . . heck that's why after we beat Citeh everyone said we had destroyed their chances of winning.

Rooney that cost £30m didn't have anything to do with the win today either, it's all down to RVP, or did someone say he would stop scoring free kicks once he left the Emirates?

RVP was sold for footballing reasons. Any football club with limited resources that lets a player walk for free a year later when they can get £24m to build the team is foolish.

U seem to be getting a tad touchy feely these days!!

i wonder why

I guess everyone but u could detect the sarcasm and irony in that post. and i know some folks see the comedy value in it as evidenced by proudlynaija.........


are the results finally getting to u? awww debo is feeling blue!!

don't worry shyte happens. it WAS annoying to see van Persie score that goal wasn't it eh

oh and nasri and clichy?....... erm does that not corroborate the fact that former gunners ARE factors in who wins d league? well if like u said they were responsible for the goal..........

Not to worry, Wilshere is starting to show signs of being the marquee player this year. im sure he would fetch close to 50 million to "rebuild" the team as per usual

Pataki: Haters sipping their usual hatorade. A win is a win. Three points in the hold. If you dont like it, please feel free to sit naked in the snow.

mba emeka: A win is a win. C'est fini.

proudly9ja: Dive or no dive?

StarBoard:
The hypocrite brigade in full effect.
Arsene Wenger advocated for a three-match retrospective ban for diving back in April.
Now I know why Arsenal is a club with confused fans.

But you'll be the first to scream when a decision goes against you and you drop points as a result.
