Arsenal in Two Words

[Letters]

That shouldn't be the relationship between fan and club, IMO.
We're increasingly acting like customers at a fancy restaurant shouting at the waiter because our steak isn't done as we wanted it.
And I guess that's because they treat as customers and charge us a lot of money, that leads to a certain expectation level.
It's a different dynamic from the lower leagues which is more like football used to be - through thick and thin with no real expectation level other than they do their best.

World focused.

[Again, this is not unique to Arsenal. All of the larger, successful clubs are focusing on a global footprint rather than the local fans. As examples, look at the efforts of Leicester in Thailand, and the fact that the new Spurs stadium is going to have a NFL pitch that can be "stored" when not in use.]

This is a good question.

Predictable and Limited.

Nothings is going to change until we get a new manager, everyone knows that.

What is the purpose of a competitive sports team? This is what's gone missing from the club, the point of the game. To win. Sustainability is not a sporting goal, it is a business goal. Ticket prices, TV money, all bollocks in relation to the purpose of the game. Excuses, bollocks too. Every club, from the largest to the smallest, can aim to win. When that stops happening you don't have a football club, you have something else. So blaming the fans for wanting perfect stake might be valid for certain types of fan, but not for the ones who remember what the point of this is. The latter aren't in the least bit spoiled, what a nonsense thing to say. The latter are robbed, not of their steak dinner but of a club that is striving to win. I doubt those who can't see the difference were fans in the first place. Customers, more likely.

And the two words:

Arsene Wenger

What else is there at this club? Nothing except this man and what he wants and what he thinks and doing it his way and watching his fuck-ups, season after season after season.
