The Republik (sic) of Mancunia is an ironic name for a manure supporters club since their club is owned by an oligarchy and run by a tin-pot dictator.

Cheers mate.

Just wanted to say apologies for the lack of a post over the past day or so. I’m working on something decent for today though. Something to get us very excited about Chelsea!

@Andy, great interview and very balanced view of the past, the present, and the future. His questions are typical to the current media induced opinion out there. Some people glot when they win and crashed when they lose. That is a personality disorder. Keeping it in an even keel is the order of the day. Thanks AW. Take your pick. It could be Andy Webber or Arsene Wenger.

Chelsea losing two points and i think they will tumble. As far as Manu is concerned they will lose.It will happen soon. I predict they are going to lose in Villa park. As far as Arsenal is concerned I think 4 Is the min point which we should get out of the Chelsea and Liverpool. Still in the title race. Just the squad need to believe. Please Arsenal give us some thing this season. Just to shut-up all the Anti-Arsenal Public even the Football Pundit.

Last night’s result is extremely significant. I think Arsenal can now afford to draw at the Bridge and still be in the race, albeit heavy 3rd favourites. However, you have to respect United. They will be top come Sunday. I was one of the people who thought they would be severely weakened by Ronaldo’s departure, and in some ways they are, but to still be around the top, to rip Arsenal to shreds and do it all without Ronaldo speaks volume for what kind of club they are…However, you still get blighted, ridiculous numtpys such as benjamin on this forum who blindly state that Fletcher ‘owned’ song the other night…what planet are these kind of people on?Anyway, massive weekend in store. Could be a defining one

Good contribution Andy.

Good result for us last night too – thank you Phil Orange and Brian Horspit.

I’d say that things are looking up. Roll on Sunday….

Andy- When you kindly offer a forum for people to express their views you have to sadly put up with the tosh along with the good. I’m not saying everyone who doesn’t agree with you is wrong but they could at the very least try to put forth some intelligent arguements.

You are a scholar and a gentleman sir! I think your interview was respectfull and a good example of how fans should interact together. Keep it up Andy, for every negative comment you get there are many more of us enjoying your blog.

I think you have to look at the big picture. The fans from 95% of the clubs in England would give their left testicle for their club to have the results Arsenal have had in the last 5 years. Are we forgetting how well the club has done in the Champions League in recent history? How Arsenal is one of the top 4 clubs in England and arguably top 8 in Europe? And we all know the finances are good.

As gutting as it was, it’s still just one game in a long season. The players and the fans have to move on and put it out of our minds like a top golfer forgets about a double bogey before the next hole. Time to focus on Chelsea away. I just pray that Arsene comes up with a better game plan for Chelsea because the only teams that have hurt us this season (Manure, Chelski, Man Shitty) have all sat back and hit us on the counter attack. Chelskis manager is a bloody Italian and that’s the only way they play.

The wheel will turn for Manure. Ferguson will have a stroke or liver failure with any luck and their squad and finances will fall apart like it did at the end of Liverpool’s reign in the 80s.

Wow!Such a torrent of abuse..Towards Wenger.Towards Andy even. Anyone taking a rational view is called all those things Andy. Some people get a boost to their own self esteem by abusing others.No worries. We all come here to read what you have to say.Appreciate your work.

As for Wenger. Ya i was upset that he didn’t buy a striker in January. Striker might just have put one of the chances away in the Man U match.(maybe in the Villa game as well).And yes, its my right to criticise him. I invest time, money and above all emotion in supporting my team and expect something in return..evntually.

To call for Wenger’s head isnt just over the top its stupid shit-stirring. Criticising without acknowledging all he’s done and is doing is just plain wrong. He basically has built not just this team but this club from scratch( I use that term loosely cos we have a proud history beyond wenger), he’s won us titles before and hopefully will again.(noone-not even mourinho-can provide a guarantee).He knows more about football than anyone here, he obviously cares about the club at least as much s we do, and he wants to win as much probably more. Only difference is, he’s willing to work towards it rather than demanding it as a right n throwing a tantrum if it doesnt happen.

We aren’t even out of the title race this year. Losing to United stung badly but it’s how we come back that matters. (For all the ManU lovers-Even Ferguson says that) Of course we could all give up and blame the manager and the players. But we are fans. We must support them and believe even when we find it hard to.

Ultimately it’ll be up to the team to prove worthy of that support, but that time will be in May.Not now. Get behind them. We still have a chance!

Good and bad comments.The defeat against manu very painful and made meet said and i know that is the way every true gooner should feel. But sincerely i still have lots of hope about our chances in the premiership this season, a couple of good runs will make us forget this manu defeat. Let support the players and the manager that is why we are called supporters.
