we have been a team for the future for the past ten years

Could imagine us losing out on top 4 to Southampton tbh.
Its a given that their defence is better than ours aided by a balanced central midfield which is more than we can say. In attacking positions, Tadic and Mane provide an unpredictability and threat only rivalled by Sanchez, and Pelle is like a Giroud who knows how to score.
Not to mention United and Liverpool who arent just gonna fack off quietly.
This could be the year.
oh
Society is now one polished horde
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..."
Spuds, Southampton or Everton will not be ousting us out of a top 4 finish. I can't be arsed to delve into why for each but a Team like this invariably takes it turns to be the young pretenders each year and most of the time they fall short.
The real early season delusion was that Manure would finish 7th again like last season and out of the top 4. Not going to happen, but they won't win the league either and with how much they've just spent they should be looking to be. That should be enough to snigger at.
Like it or not, Wenger is worth his salary from a business point of view and has been for the duration of his tenure. Were he not, he'd have gone a long time ago. Not winning much and not making business sense doesn't waiting incumbents at bay.....
I disagree. If a company keeps on making a profit year after year and returns nothing to its stakeholders in the way of dividends the profits mean nothing. We the fans are the stakeholders and year after year we have nothing to show for our support but rising ticket prices and merchandise costs. Does not make much business sense to me when we don't buy the right players, don't manage and motivate the team tactically, or strengthen our team when we need to (the defense). We are not real contenders instead, we are perpetual of pretenders.
No Blink, he is not worth the 8 million.

To the guys who took half a billion out of the Club, the owners who have watched the value of their shareholding rocket, and the Executive team that pretty much have to do fuck all while coining it as the Club hordes mountains of cash, he clearly is worth £8m. He may even be underpaid.
They are the only stakeholders that count
The fans are the customers. In the modern economy the role of the customer is to be milked.We the fans are the stakeholders

A curse on all their houses especially that Lady Nina Bracewell Tosspot or whatever her name is. She was the one who held all the cards and at the end her decision to sell her block of shares to Kroenke instead of the burly Uzbek is what has put us in this position. Not that I like the fat bloke but clearly he is more of a fan than Kroenke ever was. A quick due diligence check by any of these shareholders would have show up SKE for what they are: institutional investors who might as well have been investing in a sock making factory. All of SKE`s sports franchises are non performing, and that is over a period of more than a decade. In the US collective bargaining and pay caps mean everybody makes money even when they come last. How ironic that in the land of capitalism. All their sports organisations are organised on a socialist model.
Granted that Lady Nina has come out recently with a bucket full of tears and regrets but the truth is we are in a sporting purgatory with this Kroenke bloke. He simply doesn't care about achievements on the pitch. Allied with a petulant, deluded, narcissist manager who thinks he is on earth to invent a new pattern of football, a la Rinus Michel. It is a combination made in hell
It is not okay to wish a sad demise to any person, but only something drastic happening is going to change our fate at the hands of Kroenke and Wenger
We used to laugh at Man Utd with the Glazers and their debt, but our owner is the biggest cunt of them all. I serioulsy have lost of the love for Arsenal, it's all changed now and it just doesnt seem to be a club that cares for the supporters. They are only interested in thier ££$$$. its a real labour of love following Arsenal, and to me it's like a corporate giant and not a football club. I just dont have the passion to watch them live or on the box any longer. I used to love the club and plauers and board, but now its not my club anymore, just some gigantic money making monster, served for the well off and corporate clients and executive boxes. I couldnt give a toss about tonights game or next weeks game or next seasons. The club from top down is just so fucked up and is not inetrested in the real fans.
That's more about football in general though. It certainly isn't unique to Arsenal.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
