Why could Arsenal fans not protest like Everton's fans?

I remember a several seasons ago, people said that owners could not make a profit from football clubs. Obviously, Kroenk and the Glazers fly in the face of that theory. Kroenk hardly ever goes to the Emirates, so it's not even like he likes football (or 'soccer', as he'd call it). What annoys me about Kroenk is that he allowed Wenger to appoint Gazidis, who Wenger is supposedly answerable to! Why would he let Wenger do that???

I probably would be better off supporting a league one or league two club. Certainly financially, anyway!!! But I don't know how good the football is? I have BT Sport and a lot of the Premier League matches this season have not been very good and have actually been quite boring. They didn't show many Leicester matches though. Maybe it would have been better if they had done. How good is the football in League one and two?

Better imo. First off, you dont get prima dona players, second, you get players who have to fight for everthing..because they are still either in the formative stages of their careers and want to push themselves forwards or they are at the end of their playing career and want to extend it.

You also get passion and commitment. Surprisngly as well you'll get some great skill. it probably lacks the speed of the PL but I'd much rather watch a L1 / L2 games that Arsenal grinding out a bore draw against a team they 'should' beat.

If you recall the West Ham game, Arsenal went 2 up in no time, I placed a £3 bet on WHU to come back and beat AFC. We then took the dogs out for a walk and my modile kept playing alerts. When I eventualy checked it, WHU were 2-3 up and my cash out was £140.... only Arsenal it seems has the ability to cock it up in such style.....remember the Spurs 4-4 and the Newcastle 4-4 in past seasons?

I remember that! How many fans of other teams would start to worry when Newcastle pulled a goal back to 4-1, down to 10 men or not? Well I did and i'm pretty sure loads of other Arsenal fans did likewise. Arsenal are ridiculous as a team in someway and for them to still not resolved the tendency to capitulate even now is laughable. Still, as you said before, Kroenk is probably more than happy with the profits.

Maybe I should support Gillingham? They just missed out on the play offs this season in League one, but it's not so long ago they were in League 2. Also, any team can go on a good run and you can't really predict who, like Barnsley did this season. I don't mind a lack of pace. People went on about the pressing and counter attacking this season, but there were loads of rubbish passes that gave away possession that no one mentioned. You probably get that in League 1, but I suspect people are more likely to admit that is the case! Plus tickets are probably much cheaper.
