The con that is Arsenal

The reason I think, why Arsenal fans are so angry, is that Arsenal promise much, but fail to deliver in The Premier League. Every season it's the same old story. No need to repeat it in this post. Yet so long as we qualify for 4th place, The Board are happy. And if Wenger were to be sacked, they are scared of the consequences. He literally runs the club. So there will be no changes in the immediate future. There is a waiting list, I understand (20,000?) for tickets, so who cares about the protests.
The Board know that for a fan, Arsenal is for life. We live and breathe Arsenal and will always come to games if we can afford it. And if we can't there is always a richer fan who can.
To my mind, there is only one answer. To boycott the club and refuse to buy Season tickets. And get the support of corporate ticket holders as well.
I cannot see this happening, as going to The Emirates is a way of life and a habit of a lifetime for supporters. Too painful to put into practice.
So basically Kroenke, his Board, his clueless son and Wenger, know that supporters are a bunch of mugs. So whatever the fans think, they can stew in their discontent, whilst the Arsenal hierachy take their Directors Fees, their consultancy fees and Management salaries and have a good laugh. As for the players it is insulting our intelligence to say they need to go back to basics. On their salaries that is the least we should expect. Are they having a laugh? Or like Chelsea and Mourinho, has Wenger lost the dressing room?
Regrettably, we are being taken for a ride by a big club with small ambition. Nothing will change under the present regime; Moshiri has seen the light and will lift Everton. One down just Usmanov to go. And the people who fill the trough? The mug supporters. Next season Chelsea will have a new Manager, so will Man City and Man Utd. Liverpool have brought in Klopp. Arsenal, same old story. No real ambition. I love Arsenal - yes I am a mug too. I despise the Management, the Directors and Kroenke. I imagine a lot of supporters do too. Rant over.

If the arsenal fans who go to games don't man up and stop buying season tickets nothing is going to change either put up or shut up

All you pathetic losers who want Wenger gone will cry when he leaves and you see us struggle badly. He is the best thing that has ever happened to us and I hope that he continues for as long as possible

Everyone and their dog knew we needed a Top Class CF and a Top Class DM.

We lucked out with Coq but having Giroud for 3 season has been quitely shambolic.

Every transfer window is the same, promise so much but end up with the bare minimum. We got Cech as he was basically given to us by Roman. We had all summer to get a CF and failed.

we've tried it with journeymen with tried it with the kids and now buying so-called world-class players and we still can't win the league The only constant as been the manager therefore he is the problem. All these glory days come from when France had a golden generation and we happen to have the best of them now they have gone so as he's glory days and it seems ours to
