Dust settles and trophy near

The season is almost gone and despite our lack of success it´s hard to claim that it hasn´t been packed with excitement and drama, personally I´ve enjoyed things a lot more than I´ve not enjoyed them if that makes any sense. Some of the lack of enjoyment has come as a result of certain so called Arsenal supporters who have not covered themselves in glory with their words outside and inside the stadium.

The lack of respect for a man who has worked so hard and so very successfully for our football club is utterly unacceptable, Arsene makes this point very clearly and I agree 100%:

"There are two things in our job. Criticism I accept with respect. Disrespect I don't accept and don't respect."

This was not an isolated incident, it has been a gradual creep over recent years, it appears that some people have very few manners and minimal brain capacity, they say things and write without thinking, and sometimes the end product is offensive bile. Even if there is a point beneath the bile, it is completely lost when the criticism is delivered with such a crushing lack of manners. There is an element of deliberate sensationalism about it too, attracting readers by being more extreme a la Sun is the way some people work.

Arsene deserves some criticism for this seasonś efforts no doubt, but I think there is a way of delivering the criticism without offending anyone. Anyway enough of the boring moralistic ranting, the youth team are on the verge of a great achievement, they won the first leg of the Youth cup against the scousers 4-1 yesterday, so maybe we´ll have a trophy after all. It should certainly not be forgotten what miracles Arsene has worked with out youth system, we now have a conveyor belt of talent in place for years to come that is the envy of many other clubs. Great work Arsene.
