So basically Wenger is saying I know English clubs have to pay more because of influx of TV money but I refuse to, I want to keep the TV money for our board.

Spend some f money chants again Sunday if we concede first what a joke we are, us fans deserve better.

So basically you're saying that if we concede first we are a joke, even though we win the match in the end? Or is that you being frustrated and overstressed? Us Arsenal fans are sooo emotional, it makes me wan't to throw a tantrum and cry.

King Louis, I'm sure your last sentence is a line from 'Cemetery Gates' the Smiths' song.

Spanner it is annoying how stubbornly frugal Wenger is and how he refuses to adapt to the times but that's why we love him! I'm a fan of his philosophy and what he's brought to the club but I do wish he was more willing to push the boat out in times of need - such as when we barely have any CB's or forwards one day before the league starts! Or when everyone else can identify that we need to add goals to compliment our chances created.

Don't worry King the emotion is definitely fading for many Arsenal fans mate, when people stop moaning about the clubs lack of ambition the club really is in trouble.
This is the umpteenth poor widow for the club and I don't sense as much anger as in previous pathetic windows.
For many people its just a case of hoping something changes at the top next summer to reignite thier Arsenal passion and if it doesn't I think Arsenal will become a less and less important part of peoples lives.

No king Louis I'm not saying we are a joke if we concede first I'm saying we are being taking for mugs as every other club who has received less TV money then us is spending it to make there team stronger where we get excuse about inflated fees for English teams.

Nice reference Theperfectgoal ^^.
Gunner62, I think it is still a bit too early to call this window poor. Sorry to remind you this dreadful souvenir but not so long ago we had the likes of Chammakh or Santos, and thankfully this eon seems to be over.

Since we had the Ozil miracle move, things get better every year, slowly I admit it, but it gets better. We have IMO a good mix between young and established talents now. Every position is really solid now, except for CB and CF. As soon as we get a CB like Mustafi, only CF position remains a problem. I think we'll have the CB problem sorted soon, and I think we tried to have a CF.
I also think that before Gabriel's injury, CF was the club's priority. But it failed with Vardy refusing the risk and freaking Aulas gripping Lacazette tightly. How many other strikers "tick all the boxes"? And amongst them, how many already are in such good clubs they've no reason to move? And even if you were ready to slpash 70M on Higuain, what would you do if Juve came and put 90?
I trully think we're doing well. It might be even better with luck, but that's something we lack sadly.

So I do not make fun of an Arsenal fan that gets emotional because he or she's scared that we can't compete with oil and gaz companies, that's a true concern, but I do when the fan in question says we are a joke because we aren't. When I hear Malaga saying he hopes we fail this year, or Spanner saying that if we concede the first goal we are a joke, I prefer to make fun of them rather than giving them an ounce of credit.

Passion is not fading, this site shows it well. Expectations are high, and it's fine. As you say it is a sign of passion, so keep hoping, keep your passion, support the team cause you'll be rewarded sooner or later!

Chamack and Santos were very poor signings by Arsene on that I agree totally King, but
solid everywhere but CB and CF? that's like having a car that's solid every where but the roof and floor :-)
Things have got better each year since Mesut arrived? 71 points last season was a terrible return.
Expectations are high? Only for a quarter of our fans as the other 3 quaters agree with all the pundits who expect nothing more than the usual from Arsenal
The good news is atleast we agree on Chamack and Santos King :-)

That is a good start indeed ^^
I think it still gets better because we used to have serious issues with many positions since he who must not be named moved to united (and even before) I mean we had GK, CB, FB, DM, CF and winger issues, and most of them are sorted now. Listening to the fans a few years earlier, the squad needed a complete overhaul, now everyone says that a couple of classy signings could make us match the very best teams. And I just think the same, we're very close mate.
