i think its about time someone set the record straight here, the journalists who filed the story did not get the actual facts right, that same journalist did not even get the age right! he had other issues and it was purely coincidental that he took his life on the same day! he dint have mental issues as someone had pointed out, he was a good man. the next time anyone should write this, remember its never always what it seems. he was not stupid, he was not a lunatic. he is at peace, so please let him be.

PLEASE post the letters on ur blog. I’ve been a fan since I was 10 and everyone around us is rooting for UTD or Chelsea because they’ve been winning lately. Where were Chelsea’s fans before the Russian Lepricon took over? We were fans in the good times, so it’s fair to be fans in the bad as well, but let’s just agree that Wenger leaving before this project he envisioned is over is NOT the way to go, In the past he used to sign 31 year old Suker and 27 year old Pires and he won trophies, he could’ve done that untill now but instead he cares about this club more than Sir Alex cares about UTD (they lost a LOT of money). My point is, it won’t cost Wenger anything from his own money to buy players, but he cares about the financial situatuion of this club (He has a degree in economics). I know it hurts him as much as it hurts us, but when David Villa says and I quote “I want Arsenal” and u can’t afford him then we need to make our voices heard. I don’t care who he buys as long as it’s someone who is willing to die in the field to get the ball and someone who could be an example for the young players.

And I know. I am not in the favor of Usmanov taking over our amazing club, but when I see the situation of our club, this seems like a viable solution because Chelsea, Liverpool and ManU, all have a strong financial backing for potential signings every year, which unfortunately Arsenal is deprived of.

I agree with you totally Masry. Because it’s United and Barca, chances are that they would get their demands fulfilled.

By the way I am ready if we can do something about communicating it to Arsenal by sending letters, committing suicide is not the solution to anything. Maybe we can get some fans from London who can gather up and go to talk to the club on behalf of all the supporters? Or maybe we can talk about it through an official supporters club. It is a sad state indeed buddy. Just too hurt.. wish I could do something about it.

And hey… thanks for the birthday wish!! Really appreciate that !! I have a few people who have been writing continuous letters to the Arsenal communication department. If you want I can try to share the letters and the replies on my blog. Do let me know if we can use them somehow, but the replies are more generic from them and we can’t really make any conclusions on that basis.

In my comment above, I meant to say God, Maybe Usmanov is our way out of this ( I can’t believe i’m saying this).AGAIN I can’t believe I’m saying this
