    Can you give a hint at how many years it's going to take for you to figure it out? I mean, it's a sure thing. A decade later, what are you holding out for?

    We had no European football, and just one match in the FA Cup (dumped out by a Championship club). And they play on carpet every week.

    Why didn’t we buy a striker in January to push us on when it was clear that Auba was leaving? And possibly one additional squad player for cover.

    Yes, I predicted a 7th place finish, but if you put yourselves in an excellent position to get fourth, you go full throttle to do it! Not bottle it at the end.

    You are correct about comparing History (I had a season ticket in the 80’s under Terry Neil and Don Howe, it was awful ☹) , however, we moved stadiums to compete with the so called “Big Boys”.

    Unfortunately, that ended when we did move to the Emirates.
    I thought the 80's and Neill and Howe were fucking great. Yeah, the football was a bit of a drag but at least it was real men going at it, instead of pampered poofters. But the whole day out was what life was all about. Started on Friday night and didn't end until a sorry Sunday afternoon, waking up with ten times as many brain cells as Mac possesses in total having been wiped out.

    And it cost about fifteen quid, maybe twenty if you were determined to do your liver. That included match entry.

    Trains seemed to run on time too.

    Was still great to see the like of Liam Brady strolling around like he owned the place, which he usually did.

    Good times. Sad to see them used by fans making apologies for the cynical bullshit that masquerades as football today.

Spurs, West Ham, Newcastle, Maybe Leicester are the real teams we are competing with and between us and them I dont see much of an advantage we would have as a desirable destination for the 2nd tier of players we would need. Are players around the globe seriously dreaming of playing under Arteta.

    Eternal optimism can only take you so far until you are stomped on hard by reality. By Xmas the old the old optimists will be telling us to "Give him till the end of the season"

    Some of you are like Charlie from the "Peanuts cartoon. Lucy holding the ball and telling you to run up and give it a swift kick.........Fooling you for the umpteenth time as she swiftly snatches the ball and you end up somersaulting in the air.
    I've posted up that video a few times. I don't think they get it. I think they take it as me being hot on Lucy. But it's the perfect analogy.

    I reckon we'll trigger Mbappe's buyout clause.

    I fucking can't wait. It's going to be so great!

    And yet here we all are

    No, no. You misunderstood. The football wasn't great, however, those wonderful"proper" football days are gone forever. I agree with you.
    We didn't have much money but you could always afford a few quid for football and a cheeky bag of chips! Not like today, you need to be loaded to pay the prices the shitty crooks have created. It is a Billionaire's playground who don't give a fuck about the fans. The Hill-Wood family would be turning in their graves.

    True sadly, but it was the son, not the father. All the board members post Dein need to get locked in a cage with a Bengal Tiger. they took the money when the American showed up. Worst part is Wiggy never sells. We are fked for a long time, at least until the old man dies. Maybe Jnr will be a bit more flexible. First order is still to dump the joker Arteta but the losers gave him a new 3 year contract. Probably afraid Barca would come poach their ink-tressed, golden manager.

    Usmanov is lucky he sold when he did. I hope he didnt plunk the cash in a UK bank...if so, Ooops!

    I thought it was due to ill health.

    Regardless, we were by far the best, traditional, family owned club. Their interest was THE Arsenal.
    Now we have a bunch of yanks who know nothing about our club and tradition. So sad.

    By the time Hill-Wood jnr sold out he was a minority shareholder and only a nominal chairman. He had no say except was he was told to say
