Hi Walter and Tony, I hope you’re both doing well. Some things recently came to thought whilst looking at other websites.I was shocked by the extreme anger and the spectre of fascism in peoples posts. And its relentlessness.

By Tony Attwood There’s a lot of talk around about Arsenal have the highest ticket prices on the planet and yet won’t buy the players “need” to help Arsenal win the league. As with so much in football, such a statistic is misleading – both in terms of ticket prices and in terms of overall …
