As far as I am concerned they are not supporters. The season ticket waiting list is still packed, plenty more where they came from. Maybe ones who will support the club.

Honestly speaking I didn't hear the crowd boo'ing Arshavin, I though it was all aimed at the decision to take Ox off.
I haven't heard the chants. There are certain things that could be said but your reaction isn't in the slightest bit positive so I take it their over the top?
I can neither fully disagree or agree with your last statement. The supporters have a voice, many of them saw certain players not up to par yet Wenger continued to ride it out. He's now in a position where he has to sell the flops to reduce the payroll before buying. He's got himself into a full on mess, he himself knows it thats why he's sticking around to fix it or he would have resigned by now.
There are certain things Wenger can still do to get the most out of this squad but it seems as though he's 1, fixated on this formation 2, doesn't want to stamp his authority on those who are not performing because it may ruin their confidence, ooo boo hoo.. its fine for them to rob the club then?! and 3 an all round wake up call.
You can't demoralize the squad but you can't blow smoke either.
