Arsenal are the suave, smooth, well heeled and well dressed toffs that are offended by the presence of a chav at THEIR perpetually reserved restaurant. The chav has a criminal record FFS! The Arsenal bankers would never commit such despicable acts. That's their stockbroker's job. And their ticket office's.
The chavs are a sustainable club. The chav in chief sustains them out of his own pocket. What has he bought with "his" money? Success. We're a sustainable club too. The fans sustain the few and we've bought ranches and gridiron franchises.
At least the chav in charge turns up and cheers like a fan. I wouldn't eat with any of them, feeling is mutual for sure. But, if I was forced to, at least Abramovich might deign to speak to me, rather than have the butler sternly pass the salt.
