I don't see how any pro Wnger / Board fan camn defend them this week, even more so after today's news about Wellbeck. Its conning the fans in a way, I am so glad I only go to away games . The Board and Wenger are just taking the money and not repaying those of you who pay the high prices to watch us at home.

I love Arsenal to bits but not the people running it , for them its money money money as the Swedish four once said.

Totally agree Banbury, I've Always backed Wenger, and I've appreciated how we've had to control the spending whilst we were dealing with the debt of moving to the Emirates

We were clearly told that after numerous commercial deals we were now able to compete with our rivals for players off the field that would help with us to compete with them on the field, our activity in the transfer market somewhat contradicts that.

3 years ago I decided that I could no longer warrant paying the highest prices in the country for mediocrity, I couldn't see where my money was going so i decided that I'd keep it for myself.

I've not bought a shirt or been to the Emirates for 3 seasons, normally I'd take in at least 15 games a season across all competitions and now I'll be entering a fourth season, gutted tbh

If I'd have thought we'd be leaving Highbury for this id have never been behind the move

It's got to point where you can be no longer chastised for your opinion Banbury. But in season time we just have to pray now mate. Let's hope something good happens

Agree banbury, I've also done another angle that ended up on "other posts" but the same feelings. If you have a minute have a read . Wenger and the board forget the fans but i'm sure they might be reminded in the next few months. Pretty bad decisions made over past few weeks.

Football manager is probably one of if not most precious progressions going all managers fear the sack to some degree, for some one poor run is their lot for others is a bad season but no one other than Arssne is 100% safe what ever happens.

We all to some degree fear if we don't deliver to a certain standard our jobs livelihood is at risk with keeps us on our toes and without any fear we would all become arrogant.

If Arsene had to finish within 5 points of the champions to keep his job we would have bought out field players this window without question.

Too true , they have dug a hole for themselves by announcing their wealth....stupid really.

I get to see about 10-15 games a year, the odd home game in the league cup , and lesser team at home but away games for me.

I've never been a shirt wearer to be honest , although my little lad got one last season, but not anymore.

600k a month goes on the wages of Arteta and Flamini ( combined) move them on and replace with a quality player , but that's not our way.

Yes the stadium is fantastic.....but for whoes ego (I will get some stick for that comment ) but we have paid it off, told the world look at us , this is how you run a club........ look at our bank balance ..................and??

I am torn, not revealing Wellbecks injury until after the close of the window makes sense if you are trying to get a striker in before the close of the window.

I think letting it be known that he is out for months puts you at a disadvantage in negotiating with other clubs.

It has blown up in Wengers face because he did not sign anyone, although, ed02 has explained what happened there, so, I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt after Alexis last year and Ozil the year before that Wenger tried to bring in a world class striker and it was not possible.

We went into the window with three needs and two wants. We got a keeper, we did not get a cf or dm. We may be needed another cb (only if chambers is not ready) and an upgrade on monreal/Gibbs.

Even with the squad we do have we should compete for the title and the cups.

I feel you ignore that there are 17 teams in the premier league that would want to trade places with us even after this window. Yes, our window was disappointing and yes I wanted more but honestly player for player only chelsea and man city have a better squad than US and I think we could still beat both of them to the title.

:) I have the most bizarre feeling, that the total amount the season ticket holders put into the club, has been at least matched by the expenditure of the club in the last 10 years... Just a feeling though, I haven't seen the figures
