So the definition of being a "plastic fan" is now being unhappy with 7 years of failure?
You are a glory hunting fan. Simple as that.I never supported Arsenal for the trophies.I love Arsenal for the manner in which they play football.Entertainment all around.If we get trophies playing adventurous football ,its a bonus! All I know is Wenger loves Arsenal more than you and me.He knows when its time to leave Arsenal.If he thinks he is causing harm to Arsenal's progress, he will quit. You are totally wrong on Arsenal's progess over the last 7 years.Arsenal have been the unluckiest team over the last 5 years in terms of injuries. You have to consider the fact the club is being financially responsible unlike other clubs.That is why all the big clubs are complaning of overspending and a FFP rule is being implemented in the near future. What were Arsenal before Wenger came ? A mediocre club with no recognition in Europe/worldwide.Now ? We are in the top tier.We have not been doing bad at all in the last 7 years.I don't rate the season based on trophies won. We have been competing against all odds.We played with a budget close to Eveton's .Moyes gets accolades from the media for working in a low budget and finishing 7th! while Wenger gets ripped apart for not winning trophies while working on a similar budget. Fans need to understand the financial impact caused to a club when they move to new stadium. Not many understand this and that's the problem.Fortunately we got a sensible CEO in Ivan Gazdis who like Wenger believes in Spend what you earn is the only way for a club to survive at the top level. Will you take 3 years of success to 30 years of mediocrity (involving relegation)? or 40 years of top flight European football ? All I want from Arsenal is to give their best with whatever resources we can gather.I want to see games like the last 5 games where we gave 150% effort (especially the newcastle game) where each and every player played their hearts out until the last min of the game.Games like these make me proud and happy. @ JME aka smart Alek :Wenger is Arsenal's most successful manager.That should be enough to tell you that Arsenal have never been better in their 125 years of their existence. We have created a benchmark for teams who can't afford rich owners.They emulate our business model. You fans are just like charlton athletic ones.Went after their most successful manager Alan Curb. and look what happened after they sacked him ? Charlton suffered two relegations in three years

Should I quit boxing if my dad keeps on trying to convincing me that I have no talent or wasn't made...?
A few points: 1. Becoming a professional athlete in any sport is extremely difficult. Because of its lack of athletic union, low television rights revenue, virtually non-existent radio rights revenue, limited licensing opportunities and other issues it's extremely difficult for boxers to move beyond semi-pro status. Put simply a professional is someone that earns a large enough income for a specified period that not only provides a good lifestyle during the period, but also allows for comfortable existence after retirement. Out of all the boxers in the world there are probably only 20 to 30 that can get that type of income because of what they do inside the ring. Everyone else is either taking on debt from promoters/managers banking on potential or working other jobs to supplement income/ pay for training. Your dad feels you will be one of the thousands giving everything to the sport and getting nothing from it, he simply doesn't know how to express it. 2. Nothing wrong with following dreams, but knowing when you're licked (can't succeed) AND having back-up plans to turn to is extremely important. 3. Education & athletics aren't mutually exclusive, in fact the big 3 sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA) depend heavily on the country's educational systems to serve as developers of talent. Going to college or a trade school will not prevent training and would probably benefit you inside the ring. Why? Because the classroom requires students to constantly absorb, process and create applicable knowledge and that is key in athletics. 4. Don't make your dad out to be a bad guy just because his message isn't something you want to hear. It's neither fair to him or yourself and will sow the seeds of regret later on in your life. If he doesn't have the money to pay for YOUR college education, get off YOUR tail and make it happen. 5. At some point soon qualified independent people need to provide you an honest assessment of your talent potential and you need to take that information and make an adult decision. 6. Don't ever confuse a hobby (what boxing is for you now) with a financially profitable activity. We all have hobbies, some of us spend far more money and time on them than we should, but nobody in their right mind would ever get that confused with making money. Good luck
I hate Soccer...but play it?
When i was six my dad wanted me to play a sport. He picked soccer. Ever since then, (I'm 15 now) Ive been playing soccer and hating every second of it. In fact i always used to throw up before a game or w.e on account of how stressed out it was making me. Now im in the High School Soccer team, and i finally told myself if i wanted to quit i should quit. When i talked to my friends about it they all said "Holy ****, what is your problem? You have it soo good. Your mad good at soccer and it makes you popular, and gets you in shape." Its true though, I have even been invited to join a german team, and take part in a select team in brazil (Best of the best team). But when a practice day/game day comes, i cant enjoy the day at all because of the thought of practice or the game, and sometimes do horrible because i cant think straight when i play. Sometimes i hope to get injured so i can just leave. But when im telling anyone about quiting i get the same "Your throwing something amazing away...think of college" speech. What should i do... Btw: Dad is like 100% against me quiting.
Why did Ronaldo leave Manchester United?
There was never a doubt that Ronaldo was going to become the best player in the world when he first played against United while being a Sporting Lisbon player. Moving to the Theater of Dreams was another major step up in his career and he took it well. Manchester United did the job of building Ronaldo's game. Ronaldo always had one thing in his mind- a move to Real Madrid, which finally happened with a record deal in 2009. In his interview after his move he said that he always dreamt of playing for Real Madrid. He ruled England and now he's ruling Spain. However, during the 2007/08 season, he expressed his intentions to play for the Galactic’s as it was his dream to play for Real Madrid.World Cup 2006 - Portugal vs EnglandIn the past decade or so, Real Madrid have always come for the best players in the world and in the 2007/08 season, Ronaldo showed his worth and showed he is truly the best.I am a United fan, I was hurt when he left and would still welcome him at Old Trafford. I do not believe it was for money, he is professional and loves the sport. However, for Madrid, it was a BARGAIN BUY..
Rap/Hip Hop Song Lyrics?
I can't figure out what it is! Yes, I have tried google, with no luck. I heard the song lastnight on a radio station. It was a club mix. It went something like "down down baby" and kept repeating. It sounded up-beat, dance type of music, and it was a guy singing.
