It's time to kill Arsenal.

Arsenal was re-born in it's second life under the guidance of David Dein in 1996 which gave rise to lots of new baby activities and spending leading up to the maturity and sudden decline at the hands of the Eastern Bloc powers and all the money that came with it.

Odd that we didn't see this coming but it's also odd how we didn't care about it and didn't want to change or win.

It's time for Arsenal to die. Is there a future amidst this? Is there a possibility that Arsenal can win something sooner or later?

We tend to believe there is a way out of this and why shouldn't there be... I mean seriously speaking, why do we have to consider, incapability due to environmental factors or even financial and internal factors. Isn't this something we can overcome? Of course it is but we've been over-reliant on many things lately which are dead in many ways for us and we are squeezing them for all the juice that they have.

So what is missing is risk and trying. Taking a risk and trying. I believe this is out of fear and fear from failure. There seems to be some fear of embarrassment from losing and in Football that appears to be peculiar because you have to get used to losing in order to have respect for this whole world of football. This I feel is where all of our problems begin from.

There appears to be a huge expectation on the shoulders of the players. It's like we are sending out players who fear for their lives. I'm not sure what has been forced onto these players but I don't I've seen them play relaxed and for fun in many many years. There appears to be no camaraderie. Looking back, if you see huge players like Vieira, Pires and Henry disappear to be replaced with kids under the pretence and belief they will grow to be better is like hoping people will accept an inferior product in the belief it become the best thing ever.

All this faith in one dimensional strategies has brought some results because we paid for quality... didn't we but not mature quality unless you count Arshavin in this and look what happened there. Amazing.

Anyway... it's not about players it's about changing who you are as an individual and accepting that doing the same thing over and over again isn't going to miraculously bear fruits from labours of pointless hope and nothing else. So we can talk about this for hours on end and for days and days when the whole point is not as some fans do, procrastinate on acceptance or even whinge on selection and transfer but realise the club has shifted into mess territory.

If anything I have realised is fear, with the people I know around me, can make you break down principles, faith, ethics, morality and for all the rhetoric people, these great people who speak excessively, spout against politics, media, society, civilisation - isn't nothing more than a projection of the fragmentation of their own psyche? In the state of our present existence, bombarded with synthetic, artificial images of humanity and this is humanity in every sense from the extremes of happiness to sadness, conflict to peace, sex to abstinence, culture to nothingness - we don't know what is right for us and what is wrong for us but we're all so quick to tell the authorities, the mummies and daddies of our institutionalised "now" and institutionalised "society", they are wrong.

In respect of the above, what is right in football is to create a team that wins, and we will see that. We will see that and say, the club is not lying and the club is working on truthful principles because we'll see it.

We can't see it so it's a lie.
