Wenger's legacy - has it held us back

[Ernesto]

Is this the argument about Wenger's previous successes being able to buy him time with the club and see out any remaining years on his contract? (Apologies if not) Thing is, I was thinking about this very thing and trying to relate it to Liverpool under Benitez. Even Hicks and Gillett (the best a man can get) could see that Benitez had lost it and needed another man to take the club forward, in spite of Rafa's previous successes in the Champions League and FA Cup. This, in arguably Liverpool's worst period running as a football club. Two bumbling fools who couldn't get on and knew as much about "soccer" as Alex Ferguson knows sobriety STILL had the wherewithal to sack Benitez because they knew it was the correct decision.

I think the only way our money-obsessed club will have the wake-up call to sack Wenger is through empty seats and fewer fans coming through the turnstiles at the Emirates. It's a little more difficult with Arsenal, methinks, seeing as there are always supporters waiting in the wings for seats and 60,000 brand new fans could fill out the stadium in the space of a week.

Horrible scenario all round with the club at the moment

Just where are those supposedly 60k brand new fans coming from? I thought most modern day fans were glory hunters, and since there's no glory to be had around these parts, I find this revelation to be quite shocking.

It be interesting to know how many prawn sandwich bridgade fans we have and how many passionate fans out of the 60,000

I don't know how there can be a waiting list to pay the highest prices around and yet get to watch dogshite on the pitch with no real effort and hunger from the players.

It's like going to the Fat Duck and being served a McDonalds Burger.

it's market prices. the fish and chips are stupid prices BUT people still buy them because they can afford to. the club know they can charge that price. anything like cigarettes, alcohol, shit food and things like football will always survive as people want an escape. its all that hope/mystery and fantasy bs that we wrap up into our minds about these things that will always make them seem desirable and most importantly for the fucks selling them, essential.

I go because I'm an Arsenal fan and I love my Club.

I go because I'm an Arsenal fan and I love my Club.

As any football fan should go to watch their team.

I go because I'm an Arsenal fan and I love my Club.

That's a contradiction.

[Xhaka Can’t]

No it is not.

I may fall in and out of like with the Club and its direction, but I'll always love it. Being an Arsenal fan is a part of who I am.

[Özim]

You (the fans) putting money into the shareholders pockets is bad for the club, that's what allows them to treat the fans with contempt and get away with all the things they get away with. Until they realise it's not a gravy train they can just take for granted nothing will change.

Whether you like it or not that's the reality.
