Others do not share your opinion, you share theirs. You are a follower and seem happy to be part of that mob mentality, in this place you are afforded the opportunity to loosen those shackles but the very fact I'm even answering someone who quotes the Daily Mail as source material means there is probably no hope for either of us.

They are a Fascist rag of a paper and not to be trusted.

'The most expensive normal seats at the Emirates Stadium - in the centre of the upper tier for 'category A' games against popular opponents - are £94 per person, plus a booking fee of up to £2.30 and £2.20 postage.'

So it's not like it's going to be that price all that often and you will definitely pay more for 'category A' games in Spain and Italy, I know this because I have attended those games in the past. The Daily Mail has found the most expensive ticket Arsenal will sell next season and compared it to the cheapest one that another European team will sell. This is not 'category A' journalism.

That Arsenal back four weren't even the best in England in 1996 when Wenger 'inherited' them, let alone in the history of English Football.

Arsenal fared well in European football in the mid-90s because they were 'boring boring Arsenal' and tried to draw 0-0 away and win 1-0 at home, their attacking strategy was Seaman hoofing it upfield, Alan Smith heading it down and Ian Wright poking it home. However it was only the Cup Winners Cup and not comparable to the Champions League.

You're complaining for the sake of complaining, about the atmosphere in a stadium you've never been to and the price of tickets you will never buy. Your idea of 'success' is based on winning trophies, the instant gratification which is so prevalent nowadays.

Arsenal have lost in a few finals in the last 6 years, a game or two short of what you define as success, but success in modern football, in this results oriented business, is based on the long-term, this shit ain't Checkers it's Chess.

You own your own stadium, you turn a profit every year, you will be there when others go bankrupt or their billionaire owners ditch them, has this six years been such a hardship to endure, knowing as you must that everything about your club's future is secure for decades to come?

Arsenal have been one of the most successful European clubs of the last 20 years on the pitch but the last 6 years have been more integral to their continued success than the preceding 14.

LOL @ bitching about the pricing out of regular fans. The closest you've been to london is inland empire. The only Arsenal ticket prices you need to be concerned about are the ones for the C.D. Guadalajara friendly in the rose bowl this summer.

Mascerano - Best DM in prem, captain of Argentina, can't get off the bench at Barca


There is no correlation between how a player does in the prem and where they came from. Jesus Christ, stop getting your football advice from the backpage of the sun

listing those 5 players proves nothing


keane and shevchenko were both signed in similar circumstances. the manager didnt want to sign these players.

keane got off to a bad start, rafa didnt have confidence in him and his performances suffered due to this. also its rumoured keane had a bad attitude which led to his quick departure


shevchenko counldnt adjust to english football and chelseas system didnt suit him. also mourinho never wanted to sign him and again his confidence suffered as he knew he wasnt wanted

as for henry being a massive failure in italy i think thats some way off the mark. he only spent one season there and he was being played out of position on the wing. wenger signed him and played him up front like he did when they were together at monaco. still it took henry a good 6 months to find his form and then the rest is history

mascherano is trying to get into the best midfield in the world right now. saying he isnt a first choice at barca proves nothing not sure why you included him in your list

i dont know to much about what happend to adam at rangers

i see the point you are trying to make but its just not true

"There is no correlation between how a player does in the prem and where they came from."

look at how many players from south america have failed to adapt in the prem. in south america players get much more time on the ball than over here. that is why so many south americans prefer to play in spain or italy as the style of football is more similar

also players from countries such as germany or holland tend to do well over here as the style of football is more similar to the prem
