Which will say very little on that Judas...i wish him neither good nor bad luck at Utd. But I believe in karma & i know soon enough he will regret his actions & apologise for them. I also do not expect any fan to forgive him.
Now to my main points, Wenger is certainly the most loyal person at the club. Most definitely more loyal than every single board member. He has stuck with the club through the good & the bad. He has taken abuse from both home fans & rival fans. He has been stabbed repeatedly in the back by both players & the board too. But I feel theres so much he can do. Its obvious that he doesnt have the influence we all thought he did. He has been forced by our money hungry board to sell players even when he obviously didnt want to. But like a saint, he protected the board from the fans' outrage & took undeserved stick from us. I believe this should be the last straw. Wenger has nothing more to prove to the fans or the board. I think he should resign in protest by the way the board has relentlessly sabotaged his teams. One would think our board were anti-Arsenal the way they keep selling our players to EPL rivals. Wenger must let them know hes had enough & do the honourable thing by resigning. There is no gunner who will not support this decision as we know how frustrating it is to lose such players.
As for those idiots we have been cursed with to have as board members, as a fan I feel its about time we took a stand & let our voices be heard. We have been quiet for too long while our club has been under total destruction from the inside. These utter fools has done as they please & whenever the heat has gotten too hot they have turned Wenger into their "fall guy". Arsenal belongs to us the fans & we do ourselves no favours by allowing the board do as they please. This should be our own last straw too.
Tbh I see us having another difficult season. We sold our best player to a rival & our new players do not have EPL experience. I do not care bout their pre-season form or past achievements, we know how difficult the EPL is & its only a completely deluded fan who thinks these players will hit the ground runing. Utd needed a striker they bought one with EPL experience.Am pretty sure their fans never thought we would ever sell such a player to them knowing that Fergie will never do it.
As for the Song case, I know we have really stupid as board members but if they actually sell Song then I will certainly hope & pray that we do badly this season & do not qualify for next CL. Maybe then our fans will actually grow some balls & kick the whole board out.
p.s. All this talk of us winning title when FFS kicks in is bollo*ks tbh. I dont see how the utterly inept & very myopic UEFA will stop clubs like City, Chelsea,PSG & Utd from spending big when there are obviously loopholes they will gleely take advantage of.
My last ever RVP article
posted on 16/8/12
I think that in regard to RvP the club had no option but to sell.
RvP could have left for nothing, (and gone to United anyway). His statement insured that he had no future at the club whether he wished to see out the final year of his contract or not.
Good business for both clubs, and as like most suspected Giroud was purchased as a direct replacement for RvP.
In regard to Song, I understand that the club have had enough of him. Time and time again I have read that there have been problems with his attitude and the club have now told him he can leave.

"What's the point in apparently strengthening the team if we have to balance the books with selling our top players."
What kind of question is this? You mean what's the point of operating like a sensible business that balances incoming and outgoing expenditure in order to stay solvent? This is how it SHOULD work at all clubs!
RVP wanted to go; we bought replacements for him; now he has gone. Ok it's annoying that he went to United, but everyone moaned last year because we didn't replace Cesc and Nasri. Well this time we've at least got that sorted.

But I believe in karma

This is Karma - Was different when you's signed Sol Campbell Spurs Captain - was a great laugh for all you guy's. Truly has come back to get you's. Has happened to us before with Tevez moving to city - what goes around comes around.

Judas?

The guy is 29 and wanted a fair crack at winning silverware before it's too late! He probably felt that he doesn't have enough time left in his career (3-4 years at the top of his game) to wait around for the "rebuilding" that always seems to be happening at Arsenal.
I didn't begrudge Berbatov to Utd, Keane to Liverpool nor Carrick to Utd as they all moved to, at the time, bigger clubs with a better shout at winning either the league or Champions League.
Wake up! This is football!

Sol Campbell anyone

Campbell was different. It was from Spurs to Arsenal. the trophies part was never that important to Spurs fans, merely the crossing of an old rivalry.
Arsenal to Utd doesn't fall foul of any local bitterness

sure Utd v Arsenal is a big game. but it is down the pecking order.
you're not the credible threat you used to be.
you're having a ding dong battle with Liverpool and spurs.
