i bet you haven't been to a football match for absolutely ages. you really seem to have lost the idea of what being a football supporter is

I think fans get taken for mugs when the board and manager can say anything they want, blame anything they want on them and not bother listening to any of their concerns and yet continue line their pockets and fail to invest.

It's one thing a club not being successful, it's totally different charging sky high prices and treating fans with contempt however. Some fans kick up a fuss when things aren't as they should be, so not all fans sit their and accept it.

Pretty much, letting the board do whatever they want and line their pockets rather than trying to better the club on the pitch isn't being a supporter.

They don't get charged sky high prices for tickets, their concerns are listened to and they have a say in the club...that's very different.

How much did your season ticket cost if your not happy cancell it like others have done.

End of the days the fans who pay those prices do because they love our club not because they were forced too. thats why they cheer and sing it don't mean they are happy with the way things are going. If they do pay and ahre happy with the way things are going then thats their loss.

Maybe this is the problem too many Prawn sandwich brigade fans and not enough raw fans.

you keep saying 'some this' and 'some that', well who exactly are you talking about? be specific otherwise general statements mean very little to anyone, as anyone can say that sort of nonsense.

you really do not get the idea of what a fan is at all. truly. man utd win trophies but quite a lot are not happy with the owners or the prices. does that make them mugs for putting up with it in return for silverware? to what degree is a person a mug or not, because it isn't as easy as saying 'either they do that or i'm doing this in return'.

have you ever been in a relationship with someone where you had to make sacrifices? you do so because you love the other person and those sacrifices in the long term are worthwhile. it may come back to bite you on the arse one day but we can all be smart arses in hindsight can't we?

we follow our club, pay our money and put up with the shit because we love our fucking club. it was here before wenger, phw and co and will be afterwards. so we'll cheer the goals, call them ****s, shout about decisions and complain that we haven't won a trophy. but you know what? we'll turn up next week to do the same because it is an escape. it's entertainment. like a pantomime but we love it, absolutely love it as we can get rid of all the shit from the working week and live out our fantasies on the pitch.

if that makes me or anyone else who does the same every week, at any professional, amateur or sunday league team then i'll happily take that title. at least we're out there in the thick of it, enjoying ourselves and not preaching from some fucking soap box no one gives a shit about.

I have never once said that bcause i'm nit happy with the way the club was run, if i was why did i tell them that when i cancelled my Red memebership.

and telll them id not be back till they and the manager sort shit out.

But ill still cheer on the boys when we play the game. Because as a fan i love the club not the players not the manager not the board but the club.

Im not bothred if goes because i know he'll go one day i just hope the right man comes it. We all hope Wenger becomes what he was and even better thats why were so miffed at him and mad at him, we want him to excell and maybe thats why a part of me makes me stick up for him still.

But im not one of those who thnks 3rd is ok for ever and ever and that we don't need to spend. But i think for this season with the sqaud we had 3rd would be ok but we should not settle for it though no way.

I wanna see us challenging again.
