if you post bollocks, you'll get burned, sorry, thats the way it is. 
 
It's ok saying that winning things just goes towards paying off debts, but not winning anything leads to what?

I was at the Wigan v Arse game on Weds. We were shit. But I realised stood in amongst the great away support that no matter what I'll always support Arsenal, so there's no point worrying about trophies etc. They are a nice bonus but not a neccesity. I'm just going to enjoy supporting my club and football in general, safe in the knowlege that Arsenal is run in the correct way, not relying on rich sugar daddies and spending above it's means.

Utd are throat deep in debt and run by a pair of clueless clowns. Come back when that's changed.

So even though teams don't win the FA Cup every year, they still have fans? have you heard yourself Ben? thats ludicrous.

Not relying on sugar daddies or spending above their means though   You don't seem to be acknowledging that fact.

  you read your "I will always be an Arsenal fan" speech as if millions of football fans dont already have this philosophy, but think as your a big club, it's a revolutionary way of thinking

Just a response to the comments about debt v trophies etc. Not winning trophies doesn't worry me that much.  Not trying to be revolutionary.

Trophies are great, but the football itself is enough. Trophies will come.

I can kind of see what he means being a palace fan - Who have been minutes and/or seconds away from going out of business twice since 2000  - But I refuse to believe one of the so called top 4 fans brushes not having trophies off like its unimportant.  
 
Edit: What I mean by this is, up until we realised where we were in the table a couple of matches ago, we didn't care if we were winning or loosing as we had our club still. Our aim this season is to finish 21st and thats as good as winning the champions league for us, the trouble we've been through.

Is this why Arsenal don't win anything? Because they aren't bothered about trophies?
