Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[Letters]

When you think about it, it's a pretty impressive trick the clubs have pulled - exploiting the fact that fans now wear the replica shirts and always want the latest one so they change it every year.
They've made us so used to it they had the nerve to announce with much fanfare that they were 'only' going to change one kit per year.

Religion of Consumerism. Football is only taking it's cut. I don't mind new kits every year, even every week wouldn't bother me because you have to opt to buy them and if little Johnny has a whinge because his £100 shorts are out of date you can always send him for adoption.

Pricing the fans out of the ground is the real problem. So corporate fucks can leave their seats empty unless they happen to be in the neighbourhood.

I've never understood this bullshit tbh. Last time I wanted to wear an Arsenal kit was when I was 12. You get these 20 stone fat bastards playing football in a park with Rooney on the back ... come on, that dream died 400-500 pasties ago. For club colours, scarfs are ok. But don't advertise for Emirates it's embarrassing.

Durham's bitterness is out of control

His most hilarious effort yet. It must be tearing him up that Wilshere scored those goals.

A good WUM shouldn't make it so obvious he's WUMming. Poor effort really.

Has this only just occurred to you?

I think it's only just occurred to me just how ridiculous it is how accustomed we've all become to it - such that the new kit is unveiled with some fanfare and fans are actively excited about going out immediately to buy it rather than thinking "hang on...this is a racket".

I've actually sold a lot of my old Arsenal tops on Ebay, you'd be surprised how much kids in far flung places are willing to pay because authentic kits must be hard to come by. Someone from Indonesia just bought last seasons Puma shirt from me for £22, so I'll probably put that towards the new one.

Welcome to western society. All companies do it. Press events for the latest smartphone, video games, big budget blockbuster movies....
