chary that blows ,
we cant even stage a protest , but you know
the way the club keeps slumping every season when the going starts getting tough ..

you will see a NATURAL BOYCOTT anyhoo !
some people just havent got money to pay that bigger ticket just for LOVES sake ..

sooner or later in front of a tv in a pub becomes
less painful on the wallet !

Good post ddm, its worrying that other people dont realise this.

Look at how much money is available in the various competitions, from least to most;

-Carling Cup
-FA Cup
-PL & CL

I have joined them two competitions because they are linked.

Oh and what a surprise, we throw the competitions that wont make us money.

Every decision this club makes is about generating as much money as possible, none of which is used to strengthen the team.

People love to take sides either blaming the board or Wenger, when the fact is they are all complicit in the death of us as a football club. We are just a business that exploits consumers and provides the illusion of being a football club to keep mugs paying. Everything about the club from top to bottom, bar the players thenselves, stinks.

We are the only club in probably world football with 5 years of retained profits, even 2 years consecutive retained profits. Every other club in world football breaks even, cos if they make any profit they invest it into new players.

Wenger for all he has won, is no longer interested in winning trophies, he’s won his trophies years ago. Its about a huge retirement nest egg and the achievement of wealth & power now. Huge bonuses, salaries & a slice of the property pie is his focus now.

Morning chaps – DDM/SiG it will be very difficult to organise any sort of protest as a significant portion of the crowd at the Grove are tourists and not actual Arsenal supporters. They are people who get free tickets from corporate hospitality and only go to the Grove to say that they’d been as they were in London and it is one of the “must see” places to go.

DDM

yes for some of us it does matter that we reclaim
our title , me for one . i feel your pain and you know ive been banging on for change as long, if not longer than you have ..

it makes you wonder if wenger was just blind lucky with the invincible’s . Because there seems no direction now , and hasnt been for some time ..its like watching a man getting lost in a desert !

& like you said its all based upon the mighty dollar .
wenger has achieved top 4 this season NO NEED TO STRENGTHEN ,C.L football is the hidden ONLY GOAL each season this club strives for , and why ? to make more of a financial wind fall ..

one things for sure whilst wenger is in power nothing will change and we will be subjected to
these youth experiments .

RE: – about the NO NEED TO STRENGTHEN , its funny this time last season villa threatened us so we got AA !

no such threat encountered this season so no need to spend ???????
