Why is anymore than 50 dangerous territory - business men have owned football clubs in mass majorities for a long time, in the main to no issues at all.

It is only since the amount of money in football skyrocketed that there has been a problem-the business world in general has become a lot shadier.

I thought it was harsh to send your keeper off when the game was basically over anyway.

Yeah very upsetting but still great day out though, and we really livened the atmosphere. Give the team a lot of credit coming from league two and beating premier league teams including Arsenal.

Who do you support ?
Alas the great Sheffield derby clash in the next round of the cup was not meant to be :frown: probably the easiest FA cup draw we've ever had and we mess up against Charlton of all teams.

Dunno i've never taken notice of the cup really because we've been destroyed in the first few rounds for the last decade.

Although Bradford made it last year (although not 3rd tier at the time).

Generally speaking 99% of people who support these teams are glory hunters.

Glory hunting for Arsenal!?! LMAO. If I was one of THOSE people, I would have chosen City or something. Have you seen our trophy cabinet? Although I believe it's not all about winning trophies but still, yeah, no glory Hunter would support Arsenal tbh.
& I was blessed to be born into a family of Arsenal supporters and grow up with friends who were (most of then) Arsenal supporters.

Not anymore though, one of the 2 people in my year who support the team :/.

Most people would give an arm & a leg to see their team in Arsenals position! Arsenal will never get relegated.

What?! So you want me to stop supporting a team that I have supported my whole life because they are in the 'top four' ?!! I'm not saying top 4 isn't good; it's brilliant. But even if Arsenal were in league 2, I wouldn't give 2 ****s (well I obviously would but you know; I wouldn't stop supporting them). What I'm trying to say is that most people go for the absolute "BEST" teams when glory hunting and from my personal experience, there is no one I know (IRL) that thinks Arsenal are the best. I have mates that constantly make fun of our lack of trophies and argue with me about how **** we are. I agree Arsenal are probably the most if not one of the most successful teams in the EPL and that alone would be a reason for glory hunting (and because of this many people do) but from my point of view, I know many glory hunters and none of them support Arsenal/ have supported Arsenal.
