So football to you is just how much money you earn? This is honestly really sad to see, you just don't get it do you?

It's what's important for Arsenal. Different case to Chelsea, Utd and City. They have sugar daddies. Arsenal need money. The period Arsenal are going through right now is 100% down to the building of the stadium. Wenger informed fans at the time that short term success will have to be sacrificed for longer term gain. We now have one of the best stadiums in Europe that will generate millions for years to come. No sugar daddy payed for the cost of the stadium (a huge cost), it came through loans, that have interest. Arsenal have to generate a profit every year to pay back the loans. The £150m sponsorship deal was huge news for Arsenal, more of it is needed. This is the way the club plans to operate, the right way, and not tarnish the club's reputation by bringing in a suggar daddy rapist like Usmanov to let him fiddle with as his play toy and disband when he's done with it.

But Arsenal could easily win the FA Cup or Capitol One Cup if they tried, you have a good enough squad. You could reach the money positions but also have a 1 or 2 trophies to put the icing on the cake, it's like never winning a trophy again despite the pressure and despite the fact you have the potential to just doesn't bother your board. Nobody is ever going to look back and say to their son, ' Let me tell you about the Arsenal squad of 2013, they made millions in profit that season, what a team'

If we win a cup, plus UCL qualification then it'd be great this season and every supporter will be happy. If we were to win one of those cups in place of UCL qualification then no, it's disaster.
I'll be happy with UCL qualification, most Arsenal fans wouldn't, but they should.

Fans are fickle. Not everyone is as understanding as you are.

Arsenal fans more fickle than most it seems. Well, mainly the ones that grew up around the invincibles era (which represents most of them). It's understandable, they demand huge success. Though they probably think Arsenal's a bigger club than it actually is. Wenger's the most successful manager in the history of Arsenal, more so than Chapman, yet they despicably call for his head. Only truly dominant era of Arsenal in English football was in the 1930's, halted by the war (unfortunately). Arsenal was trophy barren and mid table throughout most of the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's.

To Arsenal fans on this board,

When are CL tickets for the following round being sold usually?

Malaga will be good opponents and it will make some exciting matches but we'll very much come out on top.
EPL teams placed 3rd-6th > La liga teams placed 3rd-6th.
Barcelona it is

It'll most likely be either Malaga (22,222%) or us (21,252%).
Juve are third in likelyhood (15,138%), Bayern and Dortmund are tied at 4:th (14,165%) and PSG are least likely (13,051%).

It's a tough draw for you unless you get PSG or Malaga.

I wouldn't underestimate PSG, not setting the league alight but Carlo never does, the CL is his competition. Malaga are a decent side but depends how there finances work out & if the players get paid etc
