a fan of a big club in the past 20 years, three epl, 6 fa cups, two or carling cups, 19 appearances in CL and being in the final just once!
It is a fact that most
fans of all big clubs think the media hate their own club.
Not exact matches
Being still in the Carabao Cup and with West Ham up next you would have to say that this looks our best chance
of a trophy but it is the least prestigious
of all and may not appease too many Arsenal
fans who have been asking for
big changes at the
club.
A lot
of fans, past players and even pundits are asking for us to sign Benzema and if we do that would be a
big F**K YOU to either Theo or his agent, whoever was holding the
club at ransom for a pay raise and back to the wings you go... Get a feeling now seeing Pedro going to Chelsea whom has won everything there is to win and to me is on a different level than Theo could have been ours if 1) Walcott wasn't homegrown to make up that number and 2) to prevent him from going to a rival.

big boys.
Although many will suggest that Robson has a personal vendetta
of sorts aimed squarely at the Grinch who stole soccer, that doesn't make his words any less truthful... such tactics are nothing new... in the U.S.this business practice has become so common that even the players regularly use the media to manipulate public opinion (LeBron James did likewise to rally public support for himself and away from his teammate, Kyrie Irving, who has asked to be traded)... whether for contract leverage or to rally support for or against certain players, this strategy can be incredibly effective at times, but when it misses the mark it can be dangerously divisive... for a close - to - the - vest team like Arsenal to use such nefarious means to manufacture a wedge between the
fans and it's best player (again), is absolutely despicable... for the sanctimonious higher - ups who demand that it's players adhere to a certain protocol regarding information deemed «in house» or else to intentionally spread «fake» news or to provide certain outlets with privileged information for such purposes is pretty low indeed... no moral high ground here, just a
big club pretending to be a small
club so that they can continue to pull the wool over the eyes
of a dedicated, albeit somewhat naive,
fan base... so not only does this
club no give a shit about it's
fans, this clearly shows that
clubs primary interests aren't even soccer related... for all intent and purposes Kroenke doesn't care if we're a soccer
club or a tampon factory as long as we continue to maximized his investment... stay woke people... great to see more and more people commenting on the state
of the franchise... this
club needs to be held accountable for it's actions
Anyway, some
of us still believe a
club like Arsenal (not Arsene football
club) with the
fan potential and fervour SHOULD be aiming for higher objective... Not finish 10 points behind Leicester and conclude it was a great season knowing that none
of the
big firms had performed.

of Transfer season, AKBs start saying we should give Wenger a chance as he is the most successful manager and all sorts
of praises and
fans should stick with team.
All this has been coming for a long time now, Arsene Wegner knows that the majority
of the
fans want him out, and he refuses to leave, because Arsenal FC is the only
club that would allow him that amount
of time, because he makes them loads
of money, so as long as he pleases the pay masters, why should he care about people who has no power, and like most
big organisations they continue to shit on us knowing full well that we are incapable
of organising ourselves, so as long as he's at this
club I'll be WEGNER OUT.

I know that a
bigger percentage
of Arsenal
fans than ever before would like to see the end
of Arsene Wenger's reign as the manager
of Arsenal Football
Club as soon as possible, but if it came down to a choice between having a new man in charge next season or winning the Europa League this year then I am sure that percentage would be much smaller.

big Club.We sell out for every game (ish) so there is no hiding from the empty seats.They are there for all to see.Its embarrassing for the
Club and it can not be ignored any longer.It remains to be seen what happens
of it continues but in my mind this is a clear sleight on Wenger AND The Board.
Snatching
big names coveted around is start, selling a few players (3 - 5) that should not be here next season to add to the rumoured «war chest» is another... Let's wait and see... he knows and so does the
club that the
fan's patience towards the lack
of trophy is paper thin as well that missteps will likely not be forgiven.

clubs (such as City) get their business done early.
I don't dispute our achievements but when
fans are paying top dollar & the
club is getting
big sponsorships, I expect to at least compete with the likes
of Bayern & Chelsea.
It really baffles me sometimes how
fans like you portray Wenger and at the end I feel the day ya'all forget that Wenger is an employee
of Arsenal and he's now
bigger than the
club, yes he's a legend and he deserves a statue but at the same time that is Arsenal's downfall because Wenger has too much control over the
club and he shouldn't be allowed to make some decisions on like players to buy or the amount
of money to spend, he has to just focus on football and only football alone.

Me, along with many other
fans, had been hopeful

of the latter at least.

That is why a lot
of Arsenal
fans and pundits in the football media were so hard on Arsene Wenger and the Gunner s a couple

of the
club and shows a good mixture

Some
fans are mentioning Chambers as a potential DM in important fixtures... The boy just arrived at Arsenal and he is already a
big part
of the squad (3 possible positions)... Just to say that a 19yo is a major piece

of the

big fan base, I'm not surprised with the no
of articles online everyday related to Arsenal.
The
big football
clubs, who are examples for
fans around the world, have to be very aware

I'm so sick
of people telling those
of us who are disgruntled
fans to relax and give this
club time to correct itself... for anyone who believes that taking a wait - and - see approach is appropriate at this juncture they should take a good long look at themselves in the mirror because they are a
big part
of the problem... no other «
big»
club's
fans would stand for this shit for nearly as long as we have... think about it, we've witnessed a changing
of the guard at every major
club in England, Spain, France and Germany in the last several years because those «
big»
clubs failed to live up to expectations (Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG, Chelsea, ManU, ManCity etc...)... for some reason, many
fans have become as fragile as our current manager, believing that there couldn't possibly be a suitable replacement, even though everyone
of these
clubs have found multiple replacements and still achieved far more than our
club... this mindset has been created by an organization that has been milking it's
fans, telling countless lies (no world class players available) and lowering expectations every since they rolled out the
biggest lie
of all: that we couldn't spend because
of the new stadium but once it was paid off we could compete with any team in the world... this organization is rotting from the inside out and if we don't demand that those in charge put soccer first this despicable behaviour won't end with Wenger's ridiculous 2 year contract... I think the real fear isn't that a suitable replacement doesn't exist, but that this organization is so money hungry and poorly mismanaged that we will sink even lower by choosing our next coach the same way they choose our players, on the cheap... even so, we need to see what mustache will do if left to his own devices so he will have to show his true colours... only then can we purge this
club and start anew
1) read the article... 67mil pound not 94.5 2)
big old LOL if you think you'd get more than Messi's boots for that 3) can
fans please stop hanging on every word
of Presidents / Managers who put on a front for their
clubs?
Now, concentrating on SAFC, what do you make
of the
club, the
fans, the city,
