Right, this has got to stop

I've had enough. I'm not talking about our sumptuous approach play and lacklustre finishing, although if we could stick a few in the onion bag this weekend that'd be grand.

I'm talking about the bollocks that some "fans" are saying about other "fans", namely that the crowds at the Emirates are getting on the team's back if we're not 2-0 up after fifteen minutes, that supporters are shouting "shoot!" as soon as we cross the halfway lin, that we are, in fact, destroying this team's confidence.

Gunnerblog, what the fuck are you talking about? I was at the game last night, I thought it was one of the best crowd's we've had at the Emirates so far save for the few, and I mean few, boos at the end from Johnny come latelys. Areas of the ground that you don't expect to sing at all (such as the West Upper) were getting behind the side. When Thierry missed chances, the Thierry Henry chant was launched almost immediately. When RvP went close up went the Robin van Persie chant. I have no idea how many times other songs went round, not just in the Red Action section but all the way around the ground, simply because I lost count. We were desperately willing the team on, desperately trying to force the ball into the net through vocal power alone, and it really rubs me the wrong way when I see stuff like this.

Apparently the "abuse" Thierry and Hleb are getting is ridiculous? What abuse. I make no disguise of the fact that I was lamenting Hleb's inability to stay wide on the right to my dad, who was in the seat next to me, but I certainly wasn't shouting it at the player himself and didn't hear anyone else doing so either.

Thierry's programme notes pissed me off too, talking about how the fans shouldn't "groan" when we miss a chance. Why the fuck not? First of all it's an almost involuntary reaction. Secondly, Mr Henry, you're the worst culprit in the whole stadium. If a pass isn't inch perfect, if someone shoots when they could have passed to you, you fire them an icy gallic glare and have a couple of words. The point is that a brief "aarrrgghhh" goes through the crowd, and then we start singing again, and that's football.

I'm too pissed off to go through the match properly (or to give the ref the bollocking he so richly deserves), or go through today's news. In short Clichy was fantastic, Hleb's been attacked by the former Belarus captain, and Djourou's asked Wenger to stay for another ten years.
