That’s a fantastic letter from the fans’ point of view. I’ve read it three times, and I’d point out a few things : 1. Letters like that take weeks not days to prepare. 2. The tone of the letter is heavily critical of the board NOT Kroenke. It suggests he and Wenger are being mislead by self interes...

Glad to see no Monday night fixtures. Annoyed that United away is an early kick-off though, it means I'm going to be in a foul mood all day when we get hammered and not just from late afternoon/evening onwards.

It's a dilemma because City will pay more than anybody else, probably £20+m, but as if the situation wasn't bad enough selling him to the PL champions would be a disaster (unless he manages to pick up one of his long-term injuries early on). Otherwise I imagine Barca would be his preferred destinati...

I found the bit about Gazidis' pathetic attempts to improve our frankly pitiful commercial income interesting, might dispel the myth slightly that he is at least a fantastic businessman. As Quartz and others predicted, RvP's statement signalled an opportunity for Usmanov and Red & White which th...

Where does everybody think he'll end up? My money's on City, can't see Madrid being interested although today's whore-ish statement may well prick Barca's ears for another of their vulture campaigns. Not sure he can legitimately claim to have gone based on ambition alone if he goes to Juventus, Seri...

It wasn't just the goals with Henry, or even the assists, it was the aura and status as well. RvP carried us plenty of times this year and was a figurehead but I bet he didn't make defenders shit themselves like when they knew they were coming up against Henry. I don't think it's really fair to expe...

The rational part of me says that he is genuinely world class, carried us for most of this year and this is his last chance for a major move. You can't expect a player born overseas to stay at the club out of a profound sense of loyalty to Wenger or the fans, he probably has a reason to feel somewha...

Hi all! I bought my first season ticket today after yrs on the waiting list. No messing about this morning about 11am. Just got on the phone and bagged a lower tier seat in block 3, row 7. I've been to many games and sat all over the stadium but never down there so taking a chance but it seems quit...

I think it will (and should) be Vermaelen. Had a half-decent run without injury at last last year, has made lots of noises about being AFC for life so not likely to follow RvP out the door (ha), one of the only players you'd say has some leadership qualities. Also the complete dearth of suitable can...

Yes we lack ambition etc etc, I agree with all that but as far as I'm concerned we stood by this guy when he could barely string 3 games together over a seven year period and this is how he repays us? He can drop all the patronising shite about loving the fans too, that winds me right up. Now its t...

Imagine this has already been brought up but M'Vila being disciplined along with Nanas and two others over his behaviour for France, really the type of player we want to sign? Yes. I'm just more sceptical given what has happened previously with good players with bad attitudes like Anelka and Flamin...

Exactly: Gazidis is a businessman employed by the board (i.e. Kroenke). His job is to ensure that the business returns consistent profits, this is going to be the aim regardless of who is Chief Exec while Kroenke is in charge. At the moment our club is like a weed. You have to rip out the root (Kroe...

He should know more than anybody. Perhaps makes a bit of sense given that he fucked off over to Holland for some experimental treatment, presumably out of frustration at the lack of progress AFC's medical staff were making.

I felt up until today that this summer would see rvp head to barca with David villa coming to us or with him going to Madrid with higuain joining us but now I do think any half decent player won't want to join a club that continually loses it's best players with them citing a lack of ambition as th...
