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

You could argue they actually need the money, whereas we don't and just choose to ripoff the fans because we can.

I was going to say something similar. With the stadium expansion, needing money for new signings, they could actually make an argument for the extra funds. A flimsy one but they could actually point to new signings to show where the money is going. We can't.

Fair play to the Liverpool fans. Always good to see these owners squirm.

You could, and would, argue anything if it paints the club you 'support' in a bad light.

Who made you the arbiter of what a supporter could, should say?. Bottom line is where we are as a club is not where we could be. If you are happy, more power to you. Its been 11 seasons since we last won the EPL. But of course in your world that doesnt matter. Does it?

I'm not painting them in a bad light, they are doing it for themselves after all they choose to charge the highest ticket prices and then choose not to spend on transfer but yet maintain extra income will be spent on them.

If it didn't matter I wouldn't be saying Wenger should be sacked if we don't seriously challenge this year.
There were circumstances around why we've failed to challenge, some of those are because of Wenger, others are out of our control.
Literally last season we won (retained, actually) the FA Cup and finished 3rd. This season, despite some wobbles, we're very much involved in the title race, we're likely to get to the FA Cup Qtr Finals so we've got a chance there.
The level of whining on here is massively out of proportion with the situation.
IMO.

I agree with that, but that doesn't change the fact that you take every opportunity to have a dig at the club you claim to support, sometimes making things up in order to do so. It is strange behaviour.

Levels? It's like 3 or 4 people at best.

Which on a board this size is quite significant.

Yep, good stuff from them.


Despite this, frankly I think the best hope for some action on ticket prices is some unified action from the PL/the FA/the government and not through expecting individual clubs to be shamed into action like Liverpool have here, because a lot of them (like sadly ours) won't care as they know they'll still have the long term demand to cope with any immediate losses. Additionally, given how competitive the league is, no one really wants to reduce any advantage they have over others unnecessarily which is why I think most are reluctant to be the first to pass on the new TV money as savings in ticket prices. Nope, it really has to be an entire league wide rule to make things fair - e.g. set a maximum price for non corporate/executive season ticket prices.
