Sometimes I wonder who Arsene Wenger is trying to please — the supporters of the club who give their hard-earned wages to watch his team play, or the money cats in the Arsenal boardroom who want to generate as much money as possible.
After Arsenal — who already have the most expensive tickets in the Premier League — this week were criticized for their exorbitant ticket prices for away supporters at the Emirates, Wenger has now come out to defend the prices and says it’s the only way Arsenal can compete.
