If Tesco keep selling you vacuum-packed excrement, and dress it up as fillet mignon, and you happily pay them more and more each year to eah shite, don't be surprised if the Tesco fat cats laugh at you mockingly....
So your having a go at people who went up to support on Sunday?
Like DB10 said above, its the club that means more than anything - not so much the indivduals - are you suggesting we dont support them anymore? If not, what are you suggesting?
Walcott i think is out the door - might explain his reaction - he has no interest - pulled out of every 50/50 on Sunday and has the look of a man on his todd - im f**cking delighted!!!
As for the players, its modern football im afraid - i think Arsenal do do a lot for the fans, more than other clubs....but manners cost nothing eh? Anyone who goes up to Stoke (and has to suffer the necessary injections) deserves credit - from fans and players alike?
Who is 'having a go'? A tad sensitive dontcha think? What do I suggest?
I suggest that 'supporting' your club becomes harmful to a point when said club begins taking the mickey out of you.
Not paying insane money to watch mediocrity does not make you less of a 'fan', it makes you economically sensible.
Of course fans who travel far and wide should be admired for perseverance but then again: like I said, if you knowingly hand over Tesco £70 for what you know to be a bag of shite, don't write a letter of complaint that your food stank; because you knew what you were getting when you paid.
It's funny because ppl often defend Arsenal's disgusting corporate model by claiming 'football is a business'.
Ok I can accept that.
Therefore, as a business, any given 'consumer' has a duty to exercise their statutory rights and if this means that the product on offer is not in keeping with the vageries of the market, that consumer has every right to cease their custom and use that cash allocation where better spent.
If 'football is a business', then don't expect anything approaching sympathy or emotional recognition from corporate egotists money-grabbing mercenaries like Wenger, Walcott et al.
