    agree ....I think tbh there is no competition between some senior players in some positions.. Evra come out today in media saying that all UTD players are scared of getting the sack if they don't preform and win PL
    in Arsenal there are I think 6-7 players who are sure to start no matter what they put on the pitch
    if you are sure you will start, you may lose concentration at times and be complacent and that can cost you a game .. believe me i seen UTD seniors do lots of mistakes in cups and even CL in those stupid games for lack of desire and concentration

    regarding youngsters .. well many of players you used to play them in this competition were unknown at that time .. but every time they put in a great performance and you hammered PL club with 4 or 5

    anyway i don't think today results reflect bad on your senior players bcz i think they didn't give it 100% as simple as that
    both teams were tired but one sided wanted it more than the other to overcome that tiredness after the weekend game

    We can't do protests, we're too nice. Even the black scarf thing was well behaved.

    Protests have little effect against ownership - ask Blackburn fans.

    The only protest that really works is not giving the club any money.
    I'd say that's probably doubly true in the case of the Arsenal board.

    Hit them where it hurts. In the pocket. Don't buy tickets and don't turn up to games.

    Try telling all the plastics on a 1 day jolly that. They come to say they've watched Arsenal, if we don't buy the tickets, they will. it's the peril of being a fashionable club.

    We did protests, started a club Union ( most important, gives you direction, with peopl who know the score in businesses), called loadsa celibrities involved , started an internet campaign emailing all the companies who had links to your owners, making it impossible to do business, TBH it easier now than its ever been with Twitter,Email,Facebook,Club Forums, etc, Also TBH I think our current owners have got about 12 months b4 they may start to get the same treatment if they dont get there money out

    You have got to make there ( your owners ) lives an absolute f**kin misery, I have no idea where Kroenke lives and where is businesses are, but there will be Arsenal fans there.You can get them out if you want it enough.I remember after we got rid of the last scumbags we had Tom Hicks called LFC Fans "internet terrorists", thats what youve gotta be

    This is the only way. The only fear businessmen have is a halt in cashflow. The good doctor has a point though - for every person with a ticket there are a couple who want one. Also, it's smacks a little of cutting of your nose to spite your face - if the club starts losing money then there's no chance the club will improve on the pitch.

    As I'll always say though - this is capitalism 101.

    No, but if we stop buying tickets, they'll step in and buy them instead. Where did i say only plastics buy tickets? Learn to ****ing read.

    Don't worry it happens to the best of us. You're right though... many will be using financial stability blah blah blah as a an excuse for yet more failure.

    When I was at your place a few weeks ago we supported the protest, shook hands with the Arsenal fans leading it and some of us even joined in, so don't think it won't work keep at it and it will.

    As for plastics, you're spot on. We were speaking to some French people who were on their 1st visit to the Emirates to watch Arsenal. They didn't know that Swansea was in Wales, that there were any Welsh teams in the Premier League and that we were Swansea fans even though we had white shirts on and black and white scarves.

    The mind boggles and I do feel sorry for all the genuine Arsenal fans out there that have to put up with it (the ones marching).

    Honest Bucks I'm not making it up Swansea is in Wales.

    Take the M4, go over the Severn bridge, ignore the championship turn off at junction 32, carry on to junction 45.

    Hang on, haven't I told you this before? :D:D:D
