Why should I be proud to be a gooner?

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

why would you think this?
the club is run as a business (which is a scandal, should never happen and is true of most Prem clubs)
why would a business prioritise 'virtual support'?
Business is about money and virtual support delivers very little

anyone see Graeme Souness, post Citeh, talking about Arsenal being a (possibly the) great club -
he implied the wage structure and refusal to spend big were good things
and that the fans just need to suck it up
not sure I agreed with what he was saying but if anyone has a vid it should be linked to this thread
