If you store them in either, you end up with albums covered in dust, dirt, heat,and they can be got at by mice or any other kind of pest, they can be destroyed by damp pr moisture that can easily get into a garage or a roof. During my many years as a record dealer I visited many people who had stored their precious vinyl in lofts and garages, only to find that after years of being tucked away, the covers had been eaten, ruined, by dust and dirt, records warped by the heat caused by sunlight on a roof and worth zilch.

I thought it was dear when my son played for the youth side a few years back and they were charging ?8 then.

How many people would have correctly predicted some of the crazy scores over the lasst 3 weeks? I'm sure things will start settling down as the weeks pass.

But the point Jah, is, as I've said before, we didn't actually NEED these guys. No question they are quality, but we should have spent the money on players to fill positions we most needed filling, CB, DM, and a striker. Wellbeck may prove me wrong, but the other two positions have not been properly sorted, and that's been the case for a while.

Paying our ticket prices is a bit like going to the Ivy and paying their prices and getting a Pizza Express meal.

All I can say is I hope I'm proved wrong, but to me this just highlights the clubs failure to deliver against promises of delivery world class players, and wanting us to stump up silly money to attend games.

StraferJack Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > so you have seen worse times than this, right? > > You spent your money, went to the games, supported > the club > > but now, NOW you have "had enough"? Yes I've seen a lot worse, cheers Terry Neil & Bruce Rioch, but in recent times we've been constantly promised better things, and they've not materialised. We've bought Ozil and Sanchez granted, but in my view, they are players we didn't really need, and we have far greater needs, a central defender, defensive midfielder and a striker. The club hasn't been honest with the fans for years, and enough is enough. And yes I know football is a business, so as a business if you charge premier prices I expect premier players, and I haven't seen that at Arsenal especially since the move to the new ground.

Let's see where teams sit at season end > eh? Forget Falcao. If our scouting network is as good as Wenger claims it is, are you telling me they couldn't find anyone was nobody else available. Bony from Swansea would have been a good buy, pace power and a proven goal scorer. Not a world class player, but I'd have him over Wellbeck all day long. Entitlement? Following a club for 48 years, home and away, now and then, spending the money I've spent on tickets, programmes, fanzines, travel costs, and the commitment in time and passion, that's where the entitlement comes from.

As Falcao, the only reason he's gone to Yanited is for the money, plain and simple. This was perfectly highlighted when he told a sky presenter that it was his "dream" to play for them. When the sky presenter said that he had said the same about playing for Real Madrid, he said "I have lots of dreams" Course you do.

The Arsenal do it to their fans yet again. We pay world calss ticket prices and are promised world class players and specifically a world class strike, and we get Danny fcuking Wellbeck. Fair enough then, if the club want to charge those prices and not deliver on players, I'll hold on to my hard earned cash. I'm already paying enough on poxy sky sports, and that will suffice until the day, if it ever comes, that we finally & properly replace Henry, Bergkamp, Vieira, Adams and Campbell. Extremely pissed off to say the least.
