I think the best way to describe my feelings about it is flabbergasted.
I am genuinely at a loss that these big companies who are also football teams got this so wrong. I felt sure that they'd go through with it come hell or high water because I just can not fathom how they did not predict the anger their plans provoked.
As somebody in this thread said yesterday (I paraphrase), just how tall are their ivory towers? It beggars belief that they bungled this so badly. It failed as a bargaining chip with UEFA, they bottled going through with it and now almost everybody hates them for what they tried to pull off.
I spoke to some friends who are staff at Arsenal yesterday and some of them didn't feel like turning up to work today. I had a quick chat with somebody I know at Dortmund too, and even though their club is not involved the level of fury was palpable.
Just wtaf? I've found myself questioning my willingness to spend money at Arsenal over the last few years and this is the final straw. Fuck those guys.
