It's laughable.

:gp: I often forget we're owned by two billionaires.

The irony is that we have often walked away from signing a player because of similar sums. We too often play the cheapskate. All to boost our rainy day fund. I wouldnt be surprised if a huge ark is being built somewhere down the coast. Letters and the Optimistic chap will have been allocated berths no doubt. Hope they manage to squeeze TY in somewhere.

I agree. In part. A club part-owned by two corporate giants, not allowing any sense of competition in their league are in no position to preach about doing the best for the sport. Likewise, I'm not about to run into the arms of two billionaires waiting for them to save Arsenal football club. We have more than enough money to spend already. But our manager is far too picky on where it is spent. We have the right model but the wrong people leading it. No doubt at some point in the future we'll be swept up another another billionaire as our club is passed from one to the other and we'll become just another Russian/Arab plaything.

Well done mate! :good:

Managed to get one up in the goods of the clock end. Need to do it all again tomorrow to try and get one for the red membership :lol:

I thought I had blown it because I joined the queue later than I normally do at 9:40, normally I like to leave half n hour at least to be sure but luckily I found 2 seats together for me and my mate.

That's mental because I joined the queue at 9:35 and didn't actually get on until 2 hours later! when they said the silver sale was sold out, but still managed to get one, the annoying bastards.

Yeah it's stupid but in fairness when you've got tens of thousands of people trying it does end up as a bit of a lottery!

And that, right there, is why they charge such high prices...
