Anyway I'm not sticking up for him I'm just saying he's crap rather than lazy or doesn't care

When he was six.
They've presumably trying to make some sort of last-ditch return on their lengthy investment.

It was more a dig at Dale Jasper. Slowest player I've seen in the stripes.

I thought it a rotten noise to hear. I don't blame him for a lacklustre performance. He wasn't good at all, but disappointment was to be thrust in a few directions overall, and such feeling wasn't delivered with malice at those we expect more from.

Sad to say Akpom did look every inch a non-league player today. Showed no kind of glimmer of talent whatsoever. Arsenal will be disappointed that he's still on their books.

Guessing your head was up your arse so you couldn't hear it - don't think there is much doubt who was doing the booing!
While I don't disagree with the second part at all, the age he was taken on is irrelevant. They could have binned him off at any point and Kronke's business model makes that more, rather than less, likely.
Players change year on year. In my son's team there was a kid who scored 42 goals in a season at under 7s. Now we've finished under 10s there are probably four or five players who are as good as him and he's had to learn to pass because he was losing the ball when trying to do it all himself.

Sounds like the same guy but there's a few of them around the same area in there 40's to 50's who are complete morons. Like I said when you front them out they scarper despite being mouthy in the game. One guy travels from Maidstone as he decided to tell me when justifying how good a supporter he is.
As I said I sit with my two young boys and anyone in that area will probably know me for turning around and having a go at him few times. When I confronted them away from the view of my boys they ran to the stewards.

He's already made four Premier League appearances for Arsenal.
I don't see him having a fabled Premier League career behind him. Having not qualified for AFCON, Nigeria are looking to recruit everyone they can too. I don't see how Akpom helps in that, and he trained with Nigeria last week apparently?!

Wasn't fair to say in January, give him a chance and all that, but heard some bad things about the lad from his short spell at Brentford. Just seems to have an attitude problem, and let's face it he's done nothing in the game as yet, and has it all to prove whether with us or elsewhere. My own hunch is he could be one of these players who starts at a big club and never really gets over the fact he couldn't cut it there, but thinks he's too good to be happy carving out a decent career lower down (Leon Knight, anyone?). I hope I'm wrong, we'll see.

Booing him and getting on his back on a first start is wrong, clearly. But I'm surprised he's done enough in training to warrant a start at such a key moment in the season when you have Hemed straining at the leash.
The one thing the lad should realise - and show in his performance - is coming to a top Championship club and playing in front of 30,000 fans, at this stage of his career, is a huge opportunity and should be busting a gut to take it. He must realise it isn't just about him. It's about what he can do for us, and then impress others by doing it.
