@avfc_stef Season before last Arsenal had a severe injury crisis and we were told endlessly that we had bottled it, injuries weren’t an excuse and we should have just get on with it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Let’s keep that same energy here 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@AVFCVillano@avfc_stef The only reason Villa aren’t afforded the luxury of “spending big money” is because, uh, they already did spend it. Mostly on wages.
You signed Acensio and Rashford on huge wages on loan and missed out on the UCL. That’s on you.
@AVFCVillano@avfc_stef Nobody forced you to blow £300,000 a week on Elliot and Sancho and never play them.
Whenever you Villa fans talk about “wah wah we aren’t allowed to spend money” you always leave out your absolutely insane wages to revenue ratio.
My reply to Piers Morgan is all a bit of banter, people need to chill. Arsenal won the Premier League and deservedly so - but it is about time, given everything City and Chelsea have won in that period.
& I personally think given every other clubs situation this summer, Arsenal should go on and win it again.
@TheManInRed__@KingFB_ All those extra season tickets are now being clinged to, but the select few who don’t renew aren’t being handed back out, they’re just trying to get back to normal numbers. Mad really.
In regards to Silver and length people have been waiting. Club are in a no win position. They have no plan to dramatically increase Silver members, primarily as Silver members never leave unless for drastic reasons. Everyone renews. It makes an increase hard for those as current Silvers because of Ticket access, given limited availability. It can take longer than 20yrs to get a Silver membership so adding more to a large membership would make ability to secure difficult. Its not exactly one in an one out, but like a ST waiting list it's very difficult to go from Red to Silver.
Club, and even moreso in the current climate has no ability to do anything about ST waiting lists or Silver memberships.
@TheManInRed__@KingFB_ The covid years are the main reason the waiting list just does not move anymore.
I took the holiday in 21/22 as I needed the money. Someone took my seat. Then I got my seat back but whoever sat in my seat kept their ticket and moved. Many such cases.
@TheManInRed__@KingFB_ Yeah I was so surprised. Maybe they weight it if you join the list as a teenager?? I’m not sure. It was a total surprise and I grabbed it with both hands.
@KingFB_ 2018 I got mine. Joined the list in 2011. 7 years.
To this day I’ve no idea how I got it so quickly. There must have been a much shorter queue 15 years ago, and a huge turnover at the time in the late Wenger years.
It’s honestly my single most treasured possession.
@Hypo_Villa@AVFCMarkM Nobody forced Villa to give out 300k a week to Sancho and Elliot and not play them 👍🏻 if you hadn’t you might have a bit more cash for other players 👍🏻
Every club spends money, some spend it smarter than others
@philkimbo@AVFCMarkM Ah, are you now pulling the “a system is set up for the big clubs” card
That old chesnut
When you’re big, you have bigger revenue. Them’s the breaks buddy.
@MrWayneGarton@avfc_stef If you want to talk about benches
Here’s Arsenal’s bench for the Champions League semi-final in 24/24
Injuries completely destroyed that season
But we were just told to get on with it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
