Are You Fan Enough?

Inevitably, there has been a fall-out from the opening weekend of the season; our loss at home to Aston Villa.

Whether it is the AST’s insistence that Wenger’s contract talks should be postponed; the letter to Gazidis from the Black Scarf Movement; or the various degrees of anger expelled in-situ, online and amongst ourselves… every Arsenal fan has an opinion about the current status of the club; those views are thereabouts homogenised. But what about how we express it?

God knows we are all entitled an opinion about our club; the law permits a degree of free speech, too. But does (or should) the weight and validly of one’s opinion correlate with their degree of fandom at Arsenal? When it comes to expressing an opinion, how important is the medium? And does biting your tongue make you noble, and as such a ‘better’ calibre of Arsenal fan? How much blame should we apportion to the moaners (myself included)?
