    Re: Brentford vs Arsenal

    The old Highbury Gooners were much more football savvy. When they moved to the new stadium there were a lot of armchair supporters on the waiting list for season tickets and a completely different crowd started going. This coincided with social media 'influencers' and 'super-supporters' plus that *bleep* Piers Morgan stirring the pot. Hence the Wenger Out brigade. Wenger, in my view, was/is one of the greatest managers and should never have been hounded out of the club. It was awful the way Gooners instigated his forced resignation.

    I remember reading some figures about the demographic of old Highbury season ticket holders (like a mate of mine) and it was something astounding like 70% lived within a five-mile radius of the ground. That always impressed me for a London club and that was still in the early 2000s. It's not like that anymore.
    This. He changed football. He changed footballers.
