I’m keeping the Silver because like others who’ve checked out for the time being I know I’ll be going again at some point in the future. I also like to help some friends out who might want to see a game by lending them my card too. I’ve heard it’s potentially a 10 year wait to upgrade from Red so I’m not prepared to throw that away.Quote:

Says it all though. Shittiest the team has ever been under Wenger, no hope whatsoever of even competing, let alone major honours, boring football, all the money stashed in the bank, and there's a 10 year waiting list to give the club more money?
The Decider. The stupid cock decided to fuck up the Mbappe deal, the Lemar deal, the Draxler deal and the Alexis deal. That's some going.Quote:
Marc Overmars is set to return to Arsenal in a potential director of football role from next season.
The former Gunners winger, who made 141 appearances and scored 40 goals for them between 1997 and 2000, has served as Ajax's director of football since the summer of 2012 but is poised to return to London.
Overmars, 44, could fulfil many of the duties performed by Dick Law, the club's transfer fixer.
Manager Arsene Wenger has always been reluctant to work in conjunction with a director of football given that he is reluctant to delegate.
Earlier this year, Wenger said: 'I never understand what it means, director of football. I'm manager of Arsenal and as long as I am manager, I will decide what happens on the technical front. That's it.'
It therefore remains to be seen how much influence Overmars will have though he brings plenty of experience in such technical matters from five years in the role at Ajax.
The behind-the-scenes shake-up comes after a difficult summer transfer window in which Arsenal failed in their pursuit of Monaco pair Kylian Mbappe and Thomas Lemar, despite offering £92million for the latter.
They also failed to bring in PSG's Julian Draxler on deadline day to facilitate the £60m sale of Alexis Sanchez to Manchester City.
Good luck Marc. You're going to need it.
For many, a silver membership is better than actually having a season ticket.Quote:

I have a silver membership and I like having it... although I didn't go last year. went once the year before and that's about it in the last 5 years. but I don't want to get rid of it as if I suddenly want to go again and get the "better" value seats then you need silver membership and red will just suck. Plus I can lend my memberships to friends who find it hard to sleep at the moment.
Spot on. If our fans are going to sit and do nothing, we deserve Stanger.Quote:
