Can't respond to your bullshit in any other way really. Maybe if you weren't a complete and utter ass, I would have bothered formulating a constructive response.

Hows about appreciating that a team that was assembled for a pittance compared to good 'ol Arsenal can't go toe to toe with 'em, and that this 1 point could be the difference between relegation and the continued progression of a once great club who spent 20 years in the wilderness following near oblivion.

Fuck, we happen to be building slowly, starting with infrastructure so that some day in the not too distant future we can buy the better players required to play a higher standard of football in one of the hardest leagues in the World. We are not throwing caution to the wind as Hull, Leeds, Birmingham & Portsmouth have all done in recent years!

In the event of our relegation, we wouldn't have to offload many players. we don't pay stupid wages, don't pay silly fees and we live within our means. yeah, we'd lose a few of our top players but we would keep the nucleus of the team that got us promoted, and most of the team which has kept us up twice already - we wouldn't have to start again!

to put things into perspective for you, our 4 top earners combined, earn less than RVP every week. our conservative play has kept us in the greed league for 2 seasons already, enabling us to start rebuilding a fast outdated stadium and slowly but surely invest in better first team personnel.

I can understand a little bias towards ones team but the convaluted shit Arsenal fans have spouted about Tuesdays game is too much to bare. Song should have been sent off, Milijas shouldn't. Arsenal outplayed Wolves for 90 minutes bar a few attacks almost exclusively in the first half, unfortunately for them the best player on the park that day was Wayne Hennessey. Perhaps had your precious RVP rattled in another goal to add to his mightily impressive haul then we may have been forced to come out a little but our tactics coupled with a Welsh Goalkeeper meant you couldn't and we didn't have to.

That's Football!

enjoy your Thursday nights on ITV4 next season. x.

No, i'm not worried. unlike you i'm normally still enjoying my day out at the football when the highlights are shown.

What with being a dedicated season ticket holder and all, i don't have any need for poorly put together highlight reels.

Good one, you should put that money towards getting better literacy skills

Dave your team sucks because my team and their millions of pounds in attacking options couldn't break down your tean's scrappy defense. And I'm really bitter about it, and its all your fault that you support a shitty team. Next time you come to my stadium, please ensure that the next time we play, your team sets out with three strikers and only one true defender.

Success is relative. can you not understand that?

do you not realise that us Wolves fans are far happier with our current position than Arsenal fans are of theirs?

If we finish 17th again this season, it will be deemed a success. if you come 5th.....................

That's because we are a bigger and better team than you, we have much, much higher expectations.

Absolute horseshit. At no point did we attempt to "park the bus". We were outplayed with 11 men, even more so with 10.

Sean wrote:At the end of the day, they can play whatever way they want to get a point, why would they play attacking football when its more than likely they would get smashed, do you think the fans cared how they played after the result? Not a chance.

Interesting. What makes you think Wolves were just simply not outplayed? They had more shots on target than Arsenal did at the Nou Camp.

No, that's not remotely true. It frustrates me that a team scored one flukey goal and then spent the remainder of the match placing 10 players in their box and then got rewarded. It frustrates me even more that this kind of thing is a) appreciated by fans of said team despite it being absolutely horrendous to watch, and b) lauded by the English media. These kind of performances are exactly why England is such a backward footballing nation. I think as an Arsenal fan, I am absolutely entitled to view lower teams playing defensive football in disregard. We've never had the resources of other top clubs, yet we've managed to build a top class side through playing good football and developing technically gifted young players. Weaker teams' fans can't bitch about it, because we were once a mid-table side too and we rose without spending ludicrous amounts of money.

You were a mid table team? for 1 season under Bruce Rioch? inbetween winning countless trophies? when were Arsenal consistently a mid table team during a history which places them 3rd in the all time list of successful clubs in England? when exactly was this?

They fucking should. And there's no guarantee that they would get smashed. West Brom demolished us last season by scoring three goals at the Emirates. That is a fucking commendable performance, not the excrement that Wolves produced. I don't expect them to come out and play attacking football, I expect them to have the ambition to win the game.

Because they were managing to produce some attacks in the first half when they needed to score a goal. The rift between the top teams and the bottom teams in the Premier League isn't so huge that a team like Wolves wouldn't be able to threaten us. And I am aware that they had more shots on target than we did at the Camp Nou. Do you think that even comes close to showing me anything mildly meaningful? If you want to use a statistic, you better fucking provide some interpretation to back it up. A statistic on its own is absolutely inane.
