    I don't really find myself as emotionally involved anymore, most of the time I'm not really arsed if I miss a game these days. Due to enhanced TV coverage Football is almost like an entertainment show and not a sport.

    The straw that broke the camels back. Or so it seems. It’s not an age factor. People have just grown sick of this era. Well, Arsenal fans have at least. The club have treated the fans like shit and then when you get these sort of situations with crooked refs and organisations…. It’s hard to stomach.

    I am in the same camp really. I still get my football fix as heavily involved in my own amateur club. Very much grass routes, but brings so much more enjoyment and none of the cheating, corruption, hyperbole that makes the pro game no unappealing. Just a shame grass routes footy is in such a poor state with very little investment and crappy facilities. Whilst the premier league is sitting on huge piles of money.

Sitting on a pot of cash, our deficiencies staring us in the face, but they'd rather sit on the cash and wait for more to count. Fuck that.
    My boy has this indoor softball we kick around and I get a ton more fun from that than watching the football. Mind you, it's an official Arsenal softball Just can't help giving over the cash. He went down to the Emirates for one of those tours, got all the photos, souvenirs. He's got the kit, the scarf, the hats, the cup (coffee not FA), can't recall how much was spent but he's happy. The game's for him now, not me. Mind you, football better watch out because there's a lot more to distract kids these days. If the prices keep going up and the commercialism keeps swamping everything else out there's plenty more to keep kids occupied.

    Would love to do that, play again. Used to really enjoy the Sunday kickabouts with the lads. I'd drop dead if I ran for 5 minutes though. Guess if I ate more pies I could stuff myself between the goalposts and do a useful job maybe. I took the kid to a local Saturday morning football session to see if he wanted to play. He's not a bad little player and he loves it, but the other kids and particularly the parents were a joke. No fun in it, all deadly serious. I guess they thought they were raising the next Beckham and quids in. So we stopped doing that.

    i don't like criticising referees as decisions sometimes in slow motion look obvious. But mike dean was a joke. everyone knows what costa is like. Gabriel was stupid to fall for it but costa shouldn't have been on the pitch at the time anyway.

    All the fans who go week in and week out are being mugged off by the club.

    Fans are being priced out, but what do they care? For every person giving up a season ticket, there'll be 100s more waiting to fill in

    There's far too much money involved now.

    Gabriel didnt fall for anything in my opinion. He was walking backwards and the turd parked himself right behind Gabriel. How do you walk backwards without raising your leg. Dean and his mates supposedly spotted Gabriel kick but missed completely the all out assault on Koscielny done twice in the penalty box.

    Not much anyone can to in that situation except run away from the turd Costa. That wouldnt do either.

    Not sure there is much of a waiting list, and given they're holding more tickets back for Red members tourists, they (in the short term) don't give a fuck. As posted before they haven't worked out this lack of winning or being serious contenders for the title / chumps league is screwing them in terms of gaining young fans

    Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.

    "After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."

    no gab played it out naively. there was a shot later of him flicking his foot back to catch costa in the shin. what he should’ve done is wait until later and stuck one in on his liver, ribs, spine or the lower part of his achilles. sometimes the only way to deal with a cunt is by being one yourself.
