we've had a century, they've had a decade. i'd hedge my bets to day they're not too happy right now.

Wenger has a % of the player sales in his contract, so apart from his staggering 7.5 mill per season salary, I guarantee you he is making an additonal 5 mill plus all going to his offshore bank account in Monaco or Zurich. Even if half the season ticket holders did not renew thier ST's, the board know there are another 30K Arsenal fans, the johnny come latelys ready to splash the cash and inherit the season ticket. We are in a lose lose situation.

This is what happens when upstairst you kick out those who loved the game, with those who only care about business. Then you have the likes or Friar and Hillwood, who once loved the game seem to be waiting for retirement. Danny Fiszman must be turning in his grave to see the way things had turned out.

in american sports they have a minimum total salary "floor" to prevent the owners bleeding the teams dry by taking the money while serving up a plate of shit.

american owners will be american owners. theyre just doing what they do.

you have forgotten what it is like to be a fan going to a game. that's another reality you can't see.

You're there to support the team and lose yourself in the moment.

I support Arsenal Football Club, not Wenger, the board or any other individuals. It's not easy to cut out something irrational like supporting a club. I don't go reguarly but the times I do go leave me wanting to go again and again.

Don't make me laugh, they sign top players are higher in the league and have won stuff in the last 7 years including the CL.

There's no way in hell they'd swap with us, we're lying 10th and barely spend a penny.

Yes because everything is about winning trophy's not all Chelsea fans think like you. Listen to Talk sport 606 and then you see what i mean.

And im talking about history not the last 10 years, we have won more then them in our history.

That's such a load of cr*p to be honest, football fans are fickle a few wins and all is forgotten a few defeats and it's the end of the world, given the chance they'd never swap with us because the reality is we're not competitive, don't bring in quality players, never make any changes and settle for 4th place......no Chelsea fan would be happy with what we put up with.

Sure we have history and that's great, but ask Liverpool fans what that means right now? In addition we've never won the biggest prize the CL.

Chelsea fans aren't happy that Benitez is in charge, but a few wins and it will all be forgotten and come next season when a new man comes in and improves things all will be well.

Again im not talking about the roman era im talking about history. They had not history before Roman took over fact. We have a better history, not sure why you keep bringing up what they keep buying its irrelvant to the convensation.
