So my (smaller) membership pack arrived this week and as usual I was like a kid at xmas opening it to see the delectable offerings Arsenal had to offer me this year.
Firstly I saw the postcards which, as I am a cheapskate, will be used instead of xmas card this year to be sent to my nearest and dearest.
The keyring, I actually quite like it......
The 2 books, I am sure they are great, I just skimmed through!!!!
And then I came to my very own AFC headphones, I was eager to test them out as they looked sooooo amazing
Alas I was disappointed by the giant things that are supposed to fit in my ears. Maybe if I had ears like the BFG or Legolas from LOTR, they may actually fit. I decided to test the 'quality' out anyway as the packaging suggested that they were perfect for listening on Arsenal player (now I must say unless the commentary is not on 5live I don’t usually use the player, though so far this season that has been all bar 1 game, still I stream the commentary through my phone and onto my TV as it sounds much better than coming through my tinny laptop) anyway back to the point, I decided to listen to some music, this test lasted all of 5 seconds as I was annoyed by the buds rattling about in their plastic home. So onto the floor they went, much to the delight of my cats Gonzo and Nixon who are constantly trying to get at my average quality (£4) headphones.
This brings me to the question of alternate uses as they are obviously far too terrible to actually be used as headphones, though surely its sacrilege to desecrate them in such a manner as to feed them to my cats, or is it? They enjoy chasing the wire around the floor, but don’t actually bite at the ear buds. They actually look disappointed at the fact that I have palmed them off onto them, whilst I am happily still using my £4 pair, which they are still trying to eat. It must say something when my cats don’t want them!!
Is it just me being ungrateful to the wonderful people

(haha) who are behind the contents of our welcome pack, or is anyone else as disgruntled as I? I mean I would rather they were not included as they are utterly shite, and now I am torn over letting them be eaten or just put them away in a drawer never to be seen again!!
