Re: Football Season 2011/12

I was a supporter of Arsenal for several years but the negativity of several fans made me angry so I stopped following them as my main team. I do think there are a few things that Arsenal need to address before they can become title challengers again.

1. Force Wenger to look for a new goalkeeper. Whilst the current selection of goalies (Szcesney, Mannone and Almunia) are good, they are still prone to making some big mistakes in big (and small) games. I think they have never recovered from Lehman and Seaman leaving/retiring.

2. Ditto the defence. They are good, but like the goalies make mistakes that lead to conceded goals and/or losses. For me, the defence has never been as good since the invincible season or since the best defence retired.

3. Walcott needs to be taken aside and told to stop being selfish and to listen to instructions. Capello had it right when he said Walcott wasn't taken to South Africa because he wouldn't follow instructions. I'm all for players being individuals and doing their own thing on the pitch, but when they don't listen to what the manager says then they need to be dropped for a while til they learn to listen.

4. Whilst I disagree with the fans that Wenger needs to be sacked, I do agree with the fact he needs to invest in 1 or 2 big current stars to kick start the team. I'm not saying spend stupid amounts on players, but maybe offer Swansea some money for Vorm, or even Newcastle for Krul. Both are having good seasons this season.

And the fans who boo players, I agree that they are not true fans of the club. I simply chose not to have them as my main club because those fans made it impossible for me to remain calm and not losing my temper with them.
