Abou Diaby thinks Arsenal fans are too easily pleased
Erm… really?
It might be the prospect of pretty tippy-tappy football every week, it might be the regular assurance of Champions League participation. Whatever the cause, Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby reckons the club’s supporters are getting complacent.
Diaby told French magazine Onze Mondial:
That’s maybe what we are missing. The supporters of the club don’t put us under enormous pressure.
Maybe this could be explained by the fact our record isn’t catastrophic. Sure, we haven’t won a trophy since 2005, but we’re always in the top three and because of this the club is in the Champions League every season.
We’ve always done well, we reached the final in 2006 and we’re regularly in the quarter finals. So there is still a consistency to our performances. But it’s imperative that we are able to take the next step to finally win trophies.
Is the atmosphere at the Emirates too polite? Perhaps Abou wants every draw or loss to end with a South American-style pitch invasion and bin fight.

that’s because arsenal haven’t won a trophy in ages and each premier league victory is like a trophy win to the fans.
