Arsenal's Decline: Are there any easy answers?

PHW will just go around and collect them so he can trim some more off the operating budget.

Bloody love Tennis.

Theo would be awesome at that - he always hits it over the net.

But I'm not in the business of critisising one sport to praise another.

We need proper ghels like those at leeds, milwall, manchester etc to make a difference.

This really is a post of such monumental stupidity i am genuinely taken aback. Good work

Well yes of course but he has raised the bar so high with that i am dumbfounded. Someone actually wanting fans like Leeds and Millwall is truly astounding.

Its a little like Greenpeace saying, "We aren't getting anywhere with our peaceful methods, you know what we need? Some of those take the situation by the scruff of the neck Nazi types, I wonder if Hitler is still around. Or what about that Stalin chap? He always delivered"

if I may try to de-stupid it a bit, FY isn't from these parts and may not know all the history of violence with Leeds and Millwall fans. If he means we need more passionate fans then maybe he's right. But in terms of people who go to games, Arsenal have relentlessly marketed themselves and more affluent, middle class fans. And that's what they've got.

There isn't a problem with our home support per say.

It's that we attract a wider range of fans than most clubs, have a bigger stadium than most clubs, and the fact that Arsenal choose to "Americanise" everything, saps away some of the atmosphere....things like the cheering after a name thing....I DON'T WANT TO SHOUT OUT THE SURNAME OF THE PLAYER, I'M NOT IN PLAYSCHOOL!!!! Arrgrgrhrhr....things like that, which are totally un-fan related.

The core support of singers is as good as ever....but you try starting off a song when you're sat next to someone in a suit on Champions League night...stinking of booze and leaning on his shoulder
