If you can’t say something nice…

May 15, 2009

You’ve no doubt by now started seeing the news reports about Arsene Wenger’s Q&A with shareholders and how some of the dialog got a bit hairy. With Wenger at one point going so far as to question whether one can be a true supporter and at the same time criticize the players.

I don’t want to get into that debate because I’ve seen it here enough times and feel like it will never be settled. Rather, I’d like to take a different approach. Let’s assume that he’s right and that supporters need to support. I’d like us to show how much we Arsenal Americans support this club and I think we can do it rather simply.

Just write one positive thing about this season in the comments below. This could be your favorite player, your favorite moment, favorite goal, whatever, just keep it positive, brief, and keep it to one item. That way others can post their favorite without feeling like their idea has been ‘taken.’

I’ve started this same idea over at my blog this morning and the response has been very good already. But that’s an international audience. What about us, us Americans? What kind of support can we give?

Post it below!

    We were among the Final Four in Europe and we retained our place in the top four in the Prem when it didn’t look likely not long ago. A nice unbeaten streak in the league’s not bad, either.

    Wenger Knows.

    I loved that I was 100% wrong about Song, he’s become a tremendous asset to this team and I can’t wait to see how much better he’ll be next year.

    Beating Man U and Chelsea back in the fall was nice. Vela’s and Wilshere’s performances in the CC were awesome to watch too.

    *good idea for this timmy, it actually made me feel like posting, for the first time in a few weeks

    The 4-4 ‘pool match. Easily the one highlight of the year for me, just in terms of sheer enjoyment watching a match.

    Maintaining Champions League status after an inconsistent and injury-riddled campaign … and looking forward to seeing Arshavin play in this competition for Arsenal next season!

    Not a big fan of Adebayor… but his fantastic goal in the CL versus Villareal was the best for me… goal and moment.

    Almunia played well last season and even better this season.

    Arshavin’s first goal. Absolutely working the back 4 then his shot over the keeper at an outrageous angle. Brilliance from my little communist friend.

    Vela’s impudent chipped goal.

    Arshavin’s quartet.

    Bendtner’s nutsling underwear

    Our rock solid back four…

    Our powerhouse midfield…

    Our lethally accurate crossing from the wings…

    Sorry, I tried!
