Arsenal fans are planning to protest against Stan Kroenke at the FA Cup final, but shouldn’t this be one day when we put all that aside and get behind the team 100%?

Arsenal are struggling to sell their allocation of FA Cup final tickets, but why?

Going into the final round of matches relying on favours from other teams is never a good place to be. For all our flirtations with Europa League football over the years, we’ve very rarely left our destiny in the hands of others.

Season ticket holders have a contribution to make to Arsenal Football Club, a duty, if you will. But it’s twofold. Obviously we have to make a financial contribution – that’s the price you pay for access to a regular matchday ticket. But we also have a duty to support the team by actually using that matchday ticket, whether with our own backside or someone else’s.

Q: How do you keep two left backs happy?
A: Change to a back three so you can play one of them at left centre half and the other at left wing back.

The thing with success, is you start to take it for granted. At Arsenal, we might argue about the importance of each, but we largely define success in three ways: trophies, Champions League football, and finishing above Spurs.

Let’s assume that you want Arsene Wenger to leave Arsenal this summer.
