# I remember going to see Arsenal loose 2-1 to Newcastle up at St. James' Park
and thinking there's a club going places, back in the nineties

How wrong I was

# Your boardroom has always been the problem I suspect
Keagan returned, had a look, and realized nothing much had changed

You are a proper supporter though, it's not just about 'being a winner'

# Absolutley;
It's also not helped by a Media who seem to think that every fan believes we're a top-four side; we don't! We're just fed up of the club being dragged through the mud by mercenary players and successive boards who take advantage of the fan's loyalty and treat the club with contempt.

# Football needs to be given much less importance by the media
...if not British society as a whole- then we'd start to see some slightly more reasoned analysis of matches/general team performance.

"It's not a matter of life and death, it's more important than that" seems to have stopped being a funny quote and started being a philosophy.

it's hard to not take it seriously

# Some of the media ignored this in the Olympics
Not all Britain's gold medal winners were professionals - they also had day jobs and earn less in a year than a footballer earns in a month.

# For sure,
The amounts of money involved in the prem leage is just obscene; Lampard being paid £120,000 a WEEK is just disgusting!

I think you'll find a lot of prem league supporters deserting it in favour of lower leage clubs because it's more accessible to the 'normal' fan; not just coporate sponsors.

# And affordable
My best mate was at the Emirates yesterday in a corporate box to the tune of £900, which worked out at about £75 each
