Just like rags, they fell for the distraction of City and FFP. Wenger misdirected them at us for years and the media ate it up.
Now comes the reckoning. Three English giants have fallen to shit under American vulture capitalists. In each case the media made excuses while attacking our owner, a man who did the complete opposite by investing in us. It was never a generous sheikh who was going to bring down English football, you did it all on your own.
All correct bar the tries to make tickets as cheap as possible. He doesn't do that!
Nope that would be Tottenham. There is something in the water up there. Throw in Leverkusen there too.jimmygrimblesboots said:If ever a professional football club defined the word "spineless" its Arsenal F.C. and their whinging , moaning , supporters.

IIRC the tickets for us only went up after FFP. I wonder if our prices would have remained low if FFP hadn't existed.
Our sheikh doesn't give a crap about a few million. It only matters in relation to FFP.

Their owners have spent years lining their own pockets and ripping off their own fans and they have invested nothing in their local community. They made hundreds of millions on the property deals at Highbury and most of the money was invested abroad. The are a disgrace but of course they are the darlings of the media.
City were crucified for playing foreign players and Arsenal were lauded for "doing things the right way." In fact we won the league in 11-12 with more English players (six) than any team since the 1980s. That's something you never see reported.
Imo Wenger and arsenal are the reason why ticket prices are so expensive now.bobbyowenquiff said:Arsenal represent everything that is bad about modern football.
