Okay, so not the club because they'll have an auto-delete procedure in place and they'll probably charge us handling fees. Send it to Wilshere maybe or how about Wright because that way Letters could be humiliated all over again! It could go viral. Letters could be the laughing stock of all footballdom (not a made up word). In fact fuck football, for me this is now all about Letters and his infamous quote.

    You seem to have mistaken good for deluded.

    Football is at its lowest ebb and I can't see how it will improve. Both on and off the pitch it's as boring as fuck. When you have the likes of Stoke, Blackburn being praised for the way they play football and then Barca for boring the fuck out of us but being considered the best around is laughable.

    Spain are arguably the most boring world champions of all time.

    Entertainment from the game is gone. Sure once in a while we might get a game that might be a decent watch but that's the exception.

    Tbf that wasn't wumming. On the pitch football is boring. Bar Real Madrid, are there any entertaining sides around?

    Off the pitch, well you know how it is

    I agree with that. Pace and power, under control, on the floor (to a certain extent) and the ability to do something outrageous, are what makes football exciting.

    Passing the thing to death while the other teams sits in two banks of five is boring as fuck.

    One of the best games ive seen was the cup semi replay back in 1999. We lost it but both teams just went all out to attack and win the game.

    This must not lose mentality in football is killing the game. Rather than it being must wins, they set out their teams to not lose. Players like Milner who offer nothing picked over more attack minded players is a joke.

    Still love football (and Arsenal I guess), but don't really care about the Prem or Internationals anymore.

    Heavily involved with grass roots, so get my fix from that. Get far more enjoyment when my own club wins games, than I do from Arsenal wins. Also go and watch Woking whenever I can in the conference. Absolute dog-shit standard, but strangely enjoyable.

    Biggest problem for me is the cost of going to the Emirates.

    Wenger lost his bottle years ago tactics wise. The future is with young brave coaches. Look at Montenegro the other night for example.
