On an unrelated note, its hilarious that Bayern fans are demonstrating against our ticket prices, while our fans sit like mute idiots season after season. Our fans are turning into mirror images of the board and the manager- toothless.

Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

There's too much corruption at the moment so I think I'll have a nice cup of tea and wait for it to blow over.
There have been quite a few protests over the ticket prices, but they always fall flat because they aren't supported by the very silent majority who wouldn't protest if you set fire to their cocks. The Arsenal monopolist's view was made clear by Ivan the Lizard today - demand drives the price. The part he skips over is the lack of choice. The very nature of football means you're not going to walk down the road to a rival club with cheaper prices. It's a monopoly with a captive audience, not quite as bad as the rail or energy services, because you don't HAVE to consume the product, but essentially the game is the same and they'll happily take a wealthy plastic over a less well off fan.

His eyes will be bleeding by the time I've finished fucking with him.

oh shit the haemorrhage treatment .....he's a dead man walking
'WHEN HE HAS A PLAN, WE BACK HIM, WHEN HE DOESN'T......WE KEEP QUIET'
Mirror suggesting that Wenger has hinted he will go at the end of his current contract.
The quote they use from the AGM doesn't Really say that to me, but to be honest if he comes out and says next season will be his last fair play to him.
Would be nice to think he ends his time on a high.
Really good writeup on the AGM here from Arseblog. Has all the questions and responses:

Gazidis had a excellent game. Very polished and radiated confidence. Feels like he knows what he's doing and that you could trust him.
Wenger was decent apart from the flub with his response regarding the CL defeats. Could have handled it a bit better with more humility.
Sir Chips had a complete shocker ..... came across as completely obtuse and aloof...... like his predecessor. Thankfully that old fool doesn't have much if any executive power at the club. Still, it shows you the problem when you don't have competent football oriented people at the top.
The 3 million question still not properly answered though, and both Kroenke nor his son (who's also somehow wormed his way onto the board) didn't say a single word throughout which was disappointing. A lot of anger rightfully directed their way about that payment. God forbid they try it again next year because there's going to be a riot if they do ...... fucking leeches.
The pathetic thing is they dont even need it. Its like a man with 50 hamburgers still trying to steal a hotdog. They do it simply to be nasty. If they declare a dividend, then everyone gets a share. but these unverifiable payments are just to rub it in everyones noses. Nasty bunch of scammers.
Mostly because they've priced out the more traditional fan.
That said, there was that table of football prices - our cheapest season ticket is £1050, Spurs is £750. BUT, ours does include 7 cup ties, theirs only 2. And you do get a rebate at Arsenal if you don't use them all. So actually in price per game it's not much different and who would you rather watch, us or that lot?
The prices are all ridiculous of course but while average footballers are earning £100k a week the money's got to come from somewhere. It all comes from us one way or another, tickets, merchandise, Sky and BT subscriptions etc.
