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.
Maybe if Gooners had listened to voices like mine earlier instead of heaping skcepticism ridicule and downright hostility on them back in 2006 you wouldn't have to hear us so often now or lament the fact that what we were warning might come to be has come to be to a large extent.

Not to mention he's spent over 4 years at the club so must have an idea of what Arsenal is all about. Change is good and we've been crying out for it, so lets embrace it. Bit of positivity won't harm.
This quote made it into the Evening Standard today. A daily football column beckons.

I don't hate anyone, you have to actually know someone to genuinely hate them. Anyone.
What I do hate is that the greatest era in our history was destroyed by the greed of individuals trusted to always protect the Club's best interests, and it has caused so much pain frustration and anger for individulas who invest their hearts and souls - and a fair bit of money with no expectation of return on that - into Arsenal. That I hate

That's not strictly true..I don't know u but I definitely hate you
I'll use as many words as I like thank you - after all you can always re-write them for me.
If they had not undermined their own business model to make their shares more valable by borrowing the extra 120 million I would have been happy to see the Board in place in 2005 run the club indefinitely.
The problem is that Board sold its Arsenal's effectively our sould for extra dosh for themselves. Remember none of the millionaires and multi-millionaires on the Board in 2005 paid more than 2K a share and many never paid close to that or anything at all for their shares. They could have sold at 6K or 8.5K but that wasn't enough and they cheated us out of greater chances for more success to get the price to just under 12K before selling. Read that again and tell me that wasn't real greed on their part.

I don't know Alex Ferguson or Hitler but I certainly hate them.
USM , you didn't know anything I didn't. I always knew a foreign investor would buy us eventually but I actually don't know what you want from the board that I don't
its a joke
