Where our transfer funds will now be taxed and pay for lavish council houses for Muslim terrorists

Still not counting out United's deep pockets and even deeper desperation.

 

I'll believe Cech when I see it. Would love the signing though if it does happen.

 

Yeah, Cech is probably the best signing we could make as far as upgrading a position.

Not sure that Schneiderlin is that big of an upgrade on how Coquelin has played(we do need another though) or confident we'll find a striker/RW better than what we have.

 

I don't disagree that he's a massive upgrade over Szcz and Ospina but is there not anyone better out there than a guy that's 33 and basically hasn't played this year?

 

IMO he was replaced by one of the few in the world's that's better than him. Still has at least a few years left in the tank as a keeper.

 

Few thoughts on today

1) the FFP relaxation basically fucks the Arsenal model. One of the reasons why Arsenal was able to get Alexis was because of the FPP restrictions on the oil clubs.

2) It's amusing seeing Liverpool as a selling club similar to pre-Ozil Arsenal sans the CL. They are fucked more than us.

 

true, just seems like a stop-gap move to me.

 

I agree with you. If we are allocating money I would rather upgrade at a few other spots first.

 

Platini is such a pussy, saw it coming though. Poor PSG and City, UEFA holding them back so much by only allowing them a 60 million net spend. Think EPL will be fine for the most part with the TV money, City is going to massively inflate everything again though.

 

sooooo...Walcott and Wilshere for 250 mil then?

 

Platini is controlled by Qatar/UAE, not a shock that he is catering to his financial interests.

 

Just look at what City is offering Milner, £34 million!!!! James Milner.

 

Always knew the valuation was there overall, but I would have never guessed we hit this list. I just would have never guessed we had enough players on wages so high.


AVERAGE WEEKLY WAGE
1. PSG: $174,692 -- £111,453 -- €153,913

3. Man City: $165,343 -- £105,502 -- €145,676
4. Barcelona: $155,452 -- £99,191 -- €136,938
5. L.A. Dodgers: $154,292 -- £98,451 -- €135,929
6. Man Utd: $154,274 -- £98,439 -- €135,914
7. Bayern Munich: $147,326 -- £93,993 -- €129,780

10. Arsenal: $133,658 -- £85,284 -- €117,703

 

time for a gross reassessment of arsenal's issues

 

How about it? I am half tempted to PM Raven but I know it'll just make the day worse.

 

Unfortunately Chelsea is a well run club.

 

Two items I found regarding the survey. They also go into some detail regarding what they need to strip from those holdings, specifically about Arsenal. My ultimate thought on the matter at a quick glance is that there is no way in hell this is accurate. We all know of those holdings reports where no one gleans any information and everyone still gets all pissed off anyhow, every year. I am going to take the Kroenke is the devil approach and say that he cooks his numbers through Arsenal.

Arsenal's win % with Jack Wilshere starting the last two seasons is 50% and 67% without him. Won just one of seven games this season.

 

Reversion to the mean indicates we'll win the next three games with Jack in the starting 11. I am good at maths.

Also: remember Citeh

 

Hate this lineup, no winger/DM/slow striker.

Santi has had like 1 good game in 3 months, why not rest him.

 

Looking forward to Arsenal sleep walking through this match, not enough rotation IMO.

 

I'm ok with no Coq. No need against Sunderland. Would've rather seen Ramsey and wilshere together in the middle with Walcott wide though.

 

LOL, I didn't think the pedophile was on their squad still.

 

Vintage Wilshere there

 

LOL Ramsey.

 

You can't play on the front foot with no speed in attack, of course Wenger didn't learn his lesson vs Swansea.

 

can't believe how much space is out there.

 

Sunderland have just abandoned the wings.

 

Just getting to a tv now, miss anything?

 

I gave up on the computer it works perfectly on my phone. same wifi too my work computer is just a piece of shit I guess.

 

Just 36 minutes. That's all.

 

Walk it in Arsenal is back

 

Nope, Swansea game on repeat.

 

Nooooope

 

Highlight of the half for me, the commentators incorporation of penultimate before the commercial. Can't wait for the final.

 

Wake up Wenger, you stubborn prick. I have zero faith of contending for a title if he's gonna be as stubborn as he's been at the beginning and end of this season. Will be lucky to beat Villa at this rate.

Arsenal: Have failed to score in their last 225 minutes (3 hrs & 45 mins) of action at the Emirates #afc

 

@gunnerblog: Seen this one. Gomis scores at the end.

 

We are upping the degree of difficulty on some of these passes for no reason

 

PVA squares that ball and it is 1-0.

 

Vast improvement over the past 7 minutes

 

Jesus Christ.

 

we will never win the EPL with Wenger again. its really that simple.

 

Alexis frustrates the shit out of me sometimes.

 

I just started watching at the half, but nil - nil makes us a virtual lock for 3rd, being +7 on ManU... we seem to be applying plenty of pressure

& Jesus that was close to being 0-1

 

Ugh

 

should have taken off Alexis or Santi.

 

no subs left even remotely attacking.

 

Anthony Taylor is the worst, hate that cunt.

4 games and we've scored 1 own goal, nice job Wenger.
