Problem today being the core supporter back in the day really didnt give a shit win or lose - we were in it together. Players would socialise with supporters, recognise you from the training ground take time to say hello etc etc rix,rice,chippy,Devine,Nelson,woods especially always took the time to appreciate your support genuinely etc.I'd regularly stand in the north bank with a70k then 60k capacity stadium filled with just the same 26k supporters singing, supporting win or lose etc etc all on an affordable day out......

Football then sold out to money and the rest is history........

Now you can't get within a mile of the players, you have no input in the club etc etc oh and your charged a fortune for them to line their pockets and dictate... Wenger is on 8 mill a year - just think about that for a minute... 8 mill a year

Good business if you can get it

Certainly lack of money can't be an issue when it comes to signing new players....to get my Bayern Munich ticket (as it's the 8th Cup Tie for season ticket holders), I was kindly informed they will be adding 'about £78' to my renewal for 2014/15 (and that's Wing Upper, not even near the halfway line. So they are not reducing prices for their own fans, as they are for Liverpool supporters)...

Anyway, no matter, I am confident my 78 extra pounds (approx) has helped pay for all today's signings. Just to add a bit of intellectual debate to the Drexler (or Kalou...surely not??) debacle, where do Arsenal actually invest their cash mountain? In the bank to get 2% per year, or to pay off debts? So...why not buy a few players, (you don't even have to play them), and in today's market, you still make a decent profit when you sell them....or am I missing the point?
And, as an added bonus, they can even make themselves useful if someone twists their ankle or gets bashed on the nose....

PS I watch loads of football, and I'd never even heard of Kallstrom - but my 12-year-old son has, because he plays FIFA 14 on X-box. So that's all right then.
PPS Imagine you did your Christmas shopping like Arsenal in the transfer window. Last minute, go home with naff all. Not sure the wife and kids would put up with it!!
PPS I hear that Gervinho's a decent striker. But then he always was. Just not as good as Bendtner, obviously.

This just highlights the clubs ambitions. As fans we dream of finally putting in a real go at finishing top with the addition of a quality striker yet the club just see fourth place as already secured therefore no need to spend. I would laugh my bollocks off if we finish fifth. :banghead: In fact I kin hope we finish fifth and can say goodbye to the blinkered old senile c u n t

Funny thing is, that doesn't look beyond us. We are 12 ahead of united, and with a lot of difficult games coming up, we could easily fuck up a top four finish, if it sees the end of Wenger, then I hope we go to shit.

So there we have it, another transfer window where we fail to address an ovbious issue.
It's frankly disgusting that this should happen after announcing a 30 mil per year deal AND after announcing a ticket fee rise. I'm so glad I didn't get a Bayern ticket to have the chance to see us get dicked live.
Wenger is officially a c*nt in my eyes, as is every member of the board and fan who still supports the man.
Remind me why I'm going this Sunday?

If we get to 200, I reckon we can get a loan bid for Heskey rejected.
I can guarantee Newcastle Jets will agree to that loan. He was great last season and shite this - probably score a hat trick tonight now!
Evening Swifty. How are you, old chap?
All the better for reading your dulcet words Perry. Should I take a video of Heskey at the game tonight and send it to Wenger. He almost got near the ball last game.
For the benefit of us Antipodeans could someone post a picture of the ladies referenced in numerous posts?

Well fella it's only one of the below

A - you eat prawn sandwiches and own a box
B - your rich and it's a way of balancing the books keeping the taxman at bay
C- your a loyal supporter who they don't care about and is starting to understand what's going on
D - your a tourist

Its fucking priceless isn't it.

Poor old Watford - Almunia and Park at either end of the field. I guess there are those less fortunate than ourselves to think about

For four corners see if you can tick off:

"Internal solutions"
"We were very close"
"Dizzying prices"
"Almost impossible to sign players in January"

For a line go with

"True to our beliefs"
"Unsustainable spending"
"We scout every single player in the world"
"My focus is on the players who are here already"

For a full house add

"We have Bendtner, Sanogo, Park and others can play there too"
"I am not afraid to spend"
"Additional financial firepower next year"
"We have a very big squad already - you ask me why I don't sign anyone, and then why some players do not play"
