I guess it is right that we should embrace the nouveau supporters who have attached themselves to football and our club since Euro '96. As you say they fill the grounds. However, they must adapt to us and not the other way round. Too many of them are part of the text - grass culture that seems to ...

Moscow - we weren't there and enjoying it .

Oh the joy of watching the European cup final from the comfort of my armchair and feeling rather smug that we didn't make it. I give thanks to two dodgy refs in the quater final.

Club level or the ' tragic circle ' as it is known.

Eveything you say is correct. The majority of those who inhabit the tragic circle have no place in a football ground and the sooner they bugger off back to rugby the better. Most real Arsenal fans treat them with the disdain they deserve. We sing our songs , support our team and pretend they're not ...

How to end this stupid idea !

The FA should do a trial of the 'playing abroad ' idea in the lower leagues. Imagine Millwall fans going to Beijing or Leeds fans going to Dubai ? That would soon put a stop to it !
