Arsenal Football Club fans are being asked to pay the highest ticket prices in world football, and year after year the prices go up, however, the club is not competitive on the football field, and the club’s supporters do not receive a service or product which is compatible with the prices that they are being asked to pay.

Arsenal Football Club seems to be more interested in promoting a public image to the world which is all about being aesthetically pleasing and selling as much of its merchandise as possible and hoodwinking the club’s supporters into buying into a promise of future success at some unspecified point in the future with no targets or milestones set for this progress towards this mythical future golden age to be measured against.

The club’s supporters are constantly being asked to trust a process, which appears to have no end date or point or transparent criteria of what this mythical process is attempting to achieve.

The club's supporters are being disrespected on a grand scale, and their hopes, and dreams, are being completely disregarded and disrespected, and trodden into the dirt or paid lip service to.

The club seems to have no understanding of what this club means to its legions of supporters, and this can be seen by the way they gave up so easily on developing Highbury in favour of moving to the Emirates Stadium, the way that the club shows no interest in promoting the club's history, and the way that it completely disrespects its culture and traditions, and actively seeks to distance itself from anything that happened prior to 1996.

The club seems to actively want to rip the heart and soul of  its supporters out and stamp them into the dirt, and destroy their hopes and dreams.

I am a lifelong Arsenal Football Club Supporter, who has been supporting the club since 1972.

The first game I went to was at Highbury in September 1972, when Arsenal drew 0-0 with Liverpool, and it was the game that famously saw Jimmy Hill the TV pundit asked to run the line when the referee's Assistant or linesman as it was called in those days got injured.

Mikel Arteta has overseen over 3 1/3 years of abject failure as manager of Arsenal Football Club, and the team looks no nearer to winning any of the major honours in the game than it was when he was appointed.

He has so far in his over three years in charge achieved two successive eighth-place finishes, a fifth-placed finish, which was achieved after the club was sat in 4th place and points clear of its rivals and with games in hand, and managed to collapse and fail to finish in the any of the top four positions, and this season it is now in a position where it is struggling to finish third after being in a position where it was 8 points clear a few weeks ago at the top of the premier league, and with the very real prospect of finishing at least 6 points behind the likely champions Manchester City, which will be a 14 point turn around in just a matter of weeks.

Mikel Arteta seems incapable of motivating his players to perform in games of the highest importance such as the game against Manchester City at the Etihad on Wednesday 26th April 2023. This game saw Manchester City brush Arsenal aside with ease as Arsenal meekly surrendered without so much as a fight.

It would have not flattered Manchester City if they had scored 8, 9, or 10 goals in this game, and had it not been for the heroics of Arsenal’s goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale Arsenal would have suffered the heaviest defeat in its history.

Arteta and Edu have so far spent £500m in the transfer market, and the club is no nearer winning one of the major honours available in the game than when Arteta was appointed because 90% the money that has been spent has been wasted on a mystical youth project, which I believe was dreamt up by the club’s hierarchy to give Arteta time, and so that the club’s supporters would not hold him accountable for his failure.

Edu has shown himself unable or unwilling to negotiate major transfer deals when facing competition from the club’s main rivals for the signature of top-class talent, the club’s transfer strategy seems at best confused and incoherent, and at worst shambolic, and verging on corrupt.

His approach to moving players on who are deemed as no longer useful to the club seems to be to just cancel their contracts or allow these players to run their contracts down, and leave on a free transfer rather than bring transfer fees into the club for these players as well as offering clubs whose players are available on a free transfer a mysterious payment.

The club’s ownership clearly has no interest in the club, or interest or desire to make it successful. None of the senior management team, and board including Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar are being held to account for their poor performance, and there appears to be no consequence for failure or ongoing poor performance.

This approach also appears to be being applied to the playing staff except when Mikel Arteta is dealing with a player who is not one of his favourites in which he seems happy to employ appalling management strategies such as publicly humiliating players in front of their teammates, threats of violence, and gas lighting.

Arteta and Edu should be sacked immediately and replaced with people who are competent and have a track record of success in elite-level football clubs.

It is time to say Enough is enough and tell the club that we are not willing to accept this any longer and that the club belongs to us, that they are merely stewards and that we want our Arsenal back. GOOD OLD ARSENAL WE'RE PROUD TO SAY THAT NAME.
