ITV gave Flamini a cake with candles signifying every season we hadn't won a trophy. WTF?
I don't know i don't think it is too simplistic, on an individual game by game basis if you go to a football match you go to watch your team win and to be entertained, but in the final analysis though the hope of any football supporter is that their team wins trophies. For me the desire to see Arsenal win a trophy superseeds anything else....i appreciate that your saying that there is no real pleasure if the team has just bought it's way to success but there is a grey area even with that. Would I feel in the back of my mind had we gone down the city/chelsea route that we had won silverware illegitimately?....yeah probably, but i'd still be happy we won something even if it was done in a bit of an underhand way.Quote:

The thing is as supporters of Arsenal our expectancy is much higher, we pay the highest ticket prices in Europe, on top of that we as a club have just signed two of the most financially lucrative sponsorship deals in footballing history....the infrastructure of the club has it that we can to some degree compete in the transfer market with chelsea and man city and without being bankrolled by a ominious benefactor.
We are not in a position to hold our hands up and say silverware is not possible, can we expect to win the league year in year out...obviously not, can we expect to challenge for it until the bitter end year in year out....yes actually i think we are entitled to expect that.
