That Claude bloke is alright talks a lot of sense and has passion he's an old school gooner. All those other young shitheads i can't stand. Real JCL's who just hang around so they can show there mates down the Juice Bars of Islington that there on Youtube.

now we know where all that noise about being entertained is coming from....Master Gooner Ivan Gazidis - funny gooners want to be boring now while CFC fans want wenger to stay

[bababoom 4,478]

Claude is always so angry and miserable, guess he's just very passionate, though i do think he plays up to the cameras a tad.

[robdog 2,084]

I respect Claude. He speaks a lot of sense.

each rant makes me feel good. Plus he can be funny. I LMAO when he said Giroud was a first class model. also this was a very good quote, "they've won the title, fourteen points clear! Oh that's very boring innit? VERY fuckING BORING!"

Arsenal HAHAHAHAHA

Enjoy the 4th, Wenger

Hey, I 'm stuck with something, can you help please ?

Is it possible for a team in England to play two league matches in two consecutive days ? One today and one the day after tomorrow ?

If you include boxing days, yes there was.

wont you be angry when your manager keeps on buying AM after AM when what they really need is a DM (for the last 8 or 9 years i think). arsenal have been a different team with coquelin. think what they would be with a matic or even with a william carvalho/kondogbia.

I think it's a bloody cheek for Arsenal fans to call us boring. Because they happily sing "One-Nil" to the Arsenal, which is a chant that refers to a period in Arsenal's history where they bored their way to several 1-0 wins.

Everyone knows that Arsenal fans have been singing “One-Nil to the Arsenal” since George Graham made the scoreline popular when he tried to bore us to death in the latter part of his tenure as Arsenal boss. And we've sung it ever since, mostly ironically for a few years, but more recently sometimes actually in celebration of being ahead against Sunderland or someone similar.

I also learned the other day that we apparently hold the record for the most one nil wins in a Premier League season. But what seems to have been forgotten, is the fact they are only two behind us. As they won NINE matches by the scoreline of one nil, when the won the title in the 1997-98 season.

Boring..... win 1-0......Arsenal-Free flowing.....lose 1-0 to Swansea.

Check and check mate.

Mou would be proud of Monk.

I think they like each other as well.

Claude might be angry most of the time but like others have said, he's just being passionate and frustrated at his team's failings. He's one of the very few Arsenal fans who actually talks sense and isn't deluded.

[DYC. 7,542]

The Head and Shoulders bit was genuinely funny. I could imagine it immediately.

FLAVOUR OF THE SEASON 13-14

[Jase 43,479]

I think they like each other as well.

Monk recently said Mourinho should win the Manager of the Year award and incidentally, they both have their own unbeaten record against Wenger.
