    Bottom line really is that Arsenal.com didnt need to publish that story. It just smacks of desperation. Who are they trying to kid really? During the Liverpool game, there were empty seats in the front row, game against Swansea was also empty.. now when I say empty, I dont mean a barren stadium but compared to Arsenal standards. From what I hear, it seems tickets are going on General Sale. When did that happen on a regular basis earlier?

    Arsenal has a lot of negativity around the football club and its not going to go away by posting shit articles like that. In fact, they should stop posting anything on that website. Do your talking and playing on the football field.. if they can manage to do that, the fans will come around themselves.

    Desperation to praise our supporters? This is strange. The club is supposedly run by people who could not care less about the supporters, an article is put on the website though perhaps not entirely accurate, it's at least nice to see the club thanking those supporters that went to the game. There are a lot of things to be het up about, articles on the website of this nature are not one of them.

    The statement posted on the website says this too:
    It was also great to see so many Shrewsbury fans at the game.
    I guess that's another nefarious attempt at brainwashing Arsenal supporters.

    Oh the club loves it supporters when they spend the $$. If the board could kill a fan and make money off of it, I am sure they would. They are realizing that things around the club are not all rosy so they trying to goad back the supporters..

    As for 'hettin' up about this, I am sure most on here could care a F less about this article until it was brought on as a thread where it seemed like we are against some sort of gross media injustice. The only injustice Arsenal fans are suffering right now is from the manager and the board.. media is doing its job like it normally does.

    Right so your objection to it now is that someone posted about it, yet otherwise you couldn't care? A couple of posts ago you were saying they shouldn't be posting anything on the website!

    Anything they do is going to be treated with cynicism, clearly.

    Yup, I wouldnt have cared to reply if it wasnt posted on GW as if the world was against us...

    As for cynicism, look what the club has done to us over the years.. I hate being like this but the club hasnt given the fans much cause for optimism in the last 4-5 seasons.

    Really?

    That isn't the impression I'm getting.

    Death to Arsenal! Down with Arsenal! A pox on Arsenal! Ha, Ha, Arsenal lost! We're shit and we know we are! And I say that as a true fan!

    Lets' not confuse the club we support with the cunts who run it. Chalk and cheese.

    Nah I was just kidding.. I love being miserable. I mean who doesnt?! Watching your team get humiliated week in week out, falling from being one of the best teams in Europe to losing to all and sundry.. it is partay time!

    The Liverpool game was sold out. It started pouring rain so people scarpered from the first 8-9 rows. Well all of them did except for Adzz who turned up at the Pins looking like a drowned rat. I explained this when you raised it the first time a few weeks back.

    Things are bad - no doubt about that, but there is no need to bullshit things worse than they are.

    Arsenal.com really never has anything worth reading on it, I'm sure when we got thrashed 8-2 they spun it around saying we scored "two great goals".

    It's like Wenger in a website.
