Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[Kano]

Ambrobitch wrote most of the debt of through equity a couple years back as did Man City, so it is not a question of making their money back.

To say the owners of those clubs deserve 'credit' is taking the complete and utter piss.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Abramovich is a genius.

:Cascarino:

I think I actually agree with Joker on this, well to an extent, the ticket prices will keep rising just like our wages will keep rising. There is only one choice to make if you can't justify the cost and the Citeh fans have made that decision. And it's fair enough because it's not just £62, you'll have to add at least another £40 on top of that for travel and then you need to have food also.

[Özim]

I don't think they do. Abramovic is NEVER going to get his money back, nor are the people who own City.
I don't think they care. They've got more money than God, they're playing a real-life game of fantasy football, having a bit of fun.
'Cos they can.
But you can't just say he's just writing the money off, he cares about get some back otherwise why bother ever increasing prices?

Clearly in the future they want their clubs to be financial powerhouses, they may not get their money back now but in the long term if the clubs become big enough they'll become a licence to print money with the potential in the Asian market for example.

[Gervinho's Forehead]

I posted in another thread my dad has paid £125.15 for a ticket to watch the lolerhoof game :lol:

It's just a normall seat in the upper tier :lol:

madness.

I also find it unfair where the away allocation is, that home fans should be in the lower corner and move the away fans to the upper tier to provide the cheaper tickets for the home supporters.

[Grebbo]

Sol's wage was artificially high because of the huge signing-on fee. We don't even pay anyone that much now.

Other than Wenger of course.

[Letters]

But you can't just say he's just writing the money off, he cares about get some back otherwise why bother ever increasing prices?Football clubs are businesses. It's simple supply and demand to raise prices to what the market will bear.
I don't believe he sees Chelsea as a charity and will fund it completely, even he couldn't afford to do that indefinitely, of course he's going to get what money back he can. I don't think he ever expects to see all his money back either though and I don't think he wants to.
He's bought the CL and a load of other trophies, hooray, well done him! I think the reflected glory of that is what he's interested in, I don't think he's expecting to see a profit from it.

I may be wrong of course, but that's how I've always seen it.

[Kano]

they will not be claiming back a billion plus in dividends at any point in the future - so forget any idea of a profit. roman is not in it for that clearly - you just have to look at his employment policy to understand this is just a toy for him and chelsea fans are finally waking up to that fact too.

and credit? for ruining the game and creating an even bigger division between those 'with' and those 'without'? no thanks, i'm not about to pat any business man on the back whose only interest is to ruin the game i love for their gain. i don't have a huge problem with the money being spent as it takes far more than that to sustain success (although it makes it a lot easier) but i won't be congratulating any of them either.

these are business men, not football men, so as far as i'm concerned they can foad.

I was more interested in the ticket prices argument, we don't really have a leg to stand on on that issue...we charge the most and deliver the least of all the top clubs, both in terms of transfer spend and results/success.

Our model isn't one of "football men" either, football didn't use to be about not giving a sh*t about what happens on the pitch and only caring about what's coming into the bank, I hate our model and nothing about it gives me any satisfaction at all, at least the fans at those clubs with mega rich owners gets something back for their money, we get nothing but BS and patronising opinions.

[Kano]

i wouldn't dream of using our directors as the shining light of football fans in the boardroom - they are ****s, absolute massive ****s of the highest order running my club into the ground for their gain. although, the idea they are hiding behind is the correct one.

i believe ticket prices would have continued to go through the roof without these guys anyway, simply because of the way the premiership has been marketed over the past 20 years and everyone wants to grab as much money as they can.

[GP]

Harsh on Chamakh.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

i felt uneasy and uncomfortable watching that. nothing to be proud of tbh.

why is it acceptable to shout abuse like that at someone in the street just because they're a footballer earning 100k a week? money doesn't devalue respect.

writing it on a messageboard is one thing but shouting it at someone on a public road goes beyond a joke. if you do that on a friday in the town centre you get locked up for the night. im not sure why its different when footballers are concerned.

the mother should be ashamed of herself for instigating it too.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Shame they can't be flogged through the street as well as fined. What an embarrassment and humiliation it must be to be fined for non-performance when the whole world is set on a silver platter at your feet. But I bet they whine about injustice and slavery nonetheless. Football players - horrible ****s.

luck or not, let's hope it gets his confidence up and he returns to at least chip in with something for the run in.

Seem to remember him scoring a beautiful goal in last year's tournament too - took it all the way down the wing beating players and finished sublimely - didn't really do much for his confidence when he came back sadly. Though, I hope like you it's does this time...we don't need any more under performers.

Gervinho scored a good goal for us this season against...Southampton, I think?
It looked good but basically he just closed his eyes and thumped it as hard as he could and it happened to go in which is what he did here too.

Basically we're a racist bunch. We struggle with the thought of Usmanov owning the club because he's an ugly, fat, Eastern European gangster. The fact that he's worth a gazillion quid and is an Arsenal fan doesn't count for anything.

We'd rather sit back and watch our club be asset stripped by an ugly American hustler instead because he's American and well educated on covering up his path to obscene wealth. Usmanov doesn't give a fuck who knows about how he got so rich.

We should be burning the American flag outside the ground and forcing this fucker out and welcoming the fat fucker with open arms.

He's worth 17 billion dollars. He probably loses larger sums of money down his buttcrack.

True. PHW is worth £20m+ maybe? You think he pays to watch us?

Bottom line is our board are a bunch of sharks.

Even this season. But it's very expensive and I can't keep justifying the expense, especially when year on year we're seeing a worse product. I'd pay £1500 a year to watch the Invincibles.

supposedly a banner the pool fans will put out at tonights game

http://lfcts.tumblr.com/post/41815566126/banner-at-emirates-tomorrow

fair play to them. considering they only have 1 job between them its amazing how many are coming down to the emirates!

[GP]

Prices aren't that bad. It's less than 1 weeks JSA.

[I_Killed_Kenny]

plus with the sales of "found" car sound systems to supplement it, should be no worries

[Joker]

Can't disagree with the sentiment of the banner tbh.

[I_Killed_Kenny]

Liam Brady stepping down from running the youth academy.

Would love one of our invincibles to take up the banner if they have all the right badges etc. ideal post for Bergkamp?

[Ollie the Optimist]

Can't disagree with the sentiment of the banner tbh.

i cant either, however what i can disagree with, is all these moaning about our prices only. going look at arsenal charging so much etc. take city/chelsea. the media went to town on us, all these protests etc, yet chelsea charged us 1 quid less then we charged city. nothing in the media about it.

and if you are going to bring a banner about prices, its a football issue, not an arsenal issue, so dont just take to an arsenal game, take it to every game. otherwise you're a ****

[GP]

The sentiment is fair, but it's not like they are being robbed.

They have a choice.

[Ollie the Optimist]

The sentiment is fair, but it's not like they are being robbed.

They have a choice.

exactly. its thier choice to pay it.

united charge away fans 58 quid, city 55 quid, chelsea 61 quid, yet they pay that and no complaints, yet arsenal charge it, and the media, fans etc all have a go at us. im not supporting our prices at all, but its a football problem not an arsenal problem yet the media are portraying this as only arsenal charge this much.

[Letters]

tbf the media only made a fuss about it because the City fans very publicly made a fuss about it. The press were just covering it.
But yes it's a problem throughout football, all driven by the ludicrously spiralling transfer fees and wages.

[Özim]

Yeah that's because we rake all this money in but don't spend any on the team, it's not like we can claim you're paying for the privilege of watching big name players.

In terms of value for money, we're very poor.

they just made up the boycott excuse so they didnt look like shit fans really

[Kano]

Dennis Bergkamp is a leading candidate to succeed Liam Brady as the head of Arsenal's youth academy. The club have announced that Brady will step down from his current post before the end of May 2014 to take a different role within the organisation but he will assist in the search for his replacement and the hand-over process.

Bergkamp, who enjoyed 11 successful seasons at Arsenal as a player, is now working as the assistant to the Ajax manager, Frank de Boer, with a connection to the Dutch club's youth development programme. Arsenal will seek a household name to take over from Brady, whose reputation will help them to attract the top youth players, and Bergkamp will come under consideration. The sooner Arsenal make the appointment, the quicker Brady will step aside.

The 56-year-old Brady, an Arsenal playing legend, was appointed to oversee the club's academy in 1996 and he has helped to develop current first-team players such as Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs.

"Liam has a deep understanding of what it takes to discover and develop a talented youngster into someone who can perform at the highest level," said the club's chief executive, Ivan Gazidis.

"He has made a massive contribution to Arsenal. It will be difficult to find a worthy successor but we will be looking for someone who can build on what Liam and his team have created."

How do you like to eat your eggs?
Fried on one side, definitely.

What do you like on toast?
Salted butter and honey.

What are your favourite three vegetables?

He's asked after losing to a lower league team whether he has to convince the players they can beat Bayern and he says no.

Really, after losing he doesn't reckon their confidence might be lower and they might have doubts? No wonder his team never has any motivation.

The he turns into Arsene Arseh*le purely due to talk of signing a new contract, which he reckons will cause harm :unsure:

The guy needs to retire and go and commentate on French football cos he's done in top level management.

[Cripps_orig]

It's cringeworthy seeing him like that. The bit where he has a go at some dude just cos he was looking at him and then being put in his place when the guy said he's looking at Wenger cos its his press conference was embarrassing. Not enjoyable to watch this once great man being made a mockery of. He needs to go for his sake, for the clubs sake and most importantly the fans sake

[Özim]

I wished someone would have said to him after his FA Cup outburst, ok Arsene if you lose tomorrow I'll be there ready to ask questions :lol:

Seriously though, they should have said we're in February and once again your chances of silverware hang in the balance this early on in the season and you're now up against a team which most people feel you will lose to, is it time for some major change to break this pattern which has been developing season after season now?

He'd probably lose his rag, but it's the truth and he needs to face it.

Listen to what he said again. He was asked about a bullshit story designed to harm the club and said I'm looking at you for releasing bullshit. The journalist was acting as he is right about what arsene is doing when he just got told he made up bullshit and cried

[Cripps_orig]

But that wasn't the journalist who made up the story.

More importantly, it's refreshing to see Wenger thinking him signing a new contract is harming the club

[Ollie the Optimist]

If fergiegets offended by a journo, he bans them, if twitchy gets offended, they go crawling back to apologise to him. Arsene has always been good to them, answers questions etc, then they release a story designed only to split the club more, split fans, make club as divided as possible and he gets angry at them. This wasn't arsene defending himself, this was him defending the club and the journos didn't like it. They didn't like being called up on their mistakes, they love calli g others ESP him on his yet don't like when he does it to them.


Good in you Arsene, for defending our club.

If a story about him signing a new contract can split the club then he should know it's time to f*ck off. Maybe he does hence the reason he says it's designed to cause harm.

It's funny that a story about a manager signing a new contract is such a cardinal sin :lol:

Anyway this sh*t doesn't harm the club, what the manager and board are doing does...but they don't give a toss.

Are you seriously comparing the situations :lol:

Harder to win, no what makes it harder to win is poor tactics, poor motivation, a manager in denial some weird idea that if we play our football we'll win!

He was the one that came out looking bad in this not the press, some of the responses were really sharp and made him look pretty foolish, quite funny at times, especially the bit when he asks "why do you look at me" and the reporters says "because it's your press conference" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Forget it man, some people here are so far beyond redemption, even if Wenger was struck by lightning they would want his cold dead carcass wrapped up in quilt making the calls from the sidelines. How anyone can analyse the situation at arsenal and not put our decline down to the man who by his own testimony claims he controls EVERYTHING at Arsenal is beyond me. Its like being warm on a hot summers day and claiming its got nothing to do with the sun.

The man Wenger is an a dreamstate where all he sees is what his mind projects on the screen of his unconscious. His followers are in a similar state of denial.

Wenger: I am in complete control of all football affairs here. I will have it no other way
Wenger acolytes: Poor Mr Wenger, he is just a puppet of the big bad board and a world who want to make sure he fails.

We have a saying:. Those that the Gods wish to destroy, first they make mad and an enemy to all they see around them.

It wont be long now

Imagine if Ferguson was asked the same question about a contract extension.......How would that make it more difficult for his team to win...Or Moyes or Martinez or laudrup or even Fat Sam.......but Wenger. Please only ask questions about how he manages to qualify for the CL 15 years in a row.....

Way too much delight from several posters at the guy being under intense pressure. We know what's going on on the pitch. We don't know what's happening off it. Arsenal reminds me of the banks. Fucking people over left right and centre with 80% of the victims bending over for it because, you know, you need banks right? Unthinkable the world could ever work without them. So let's not even think about it. That's what the Wenger witch hunt is turning into. Just get the guy out, doesn't matter how, forget about the anything else going on at the club and all the others who have contributed to the downfall. The absent, miser who owns the place, the rats who sold everything so they could sell out, the players who continue to fuck up. Just get Wenger out and all that will magically sort itself out.

While I do agree that it's time for him to go (although the abuse isn't necessary or even warranted) I honestly don't see much changing with a different manager.

While this owner remains, we'll still see our best players sold year on year.

Time for Usmanov to come home?

He talks the talk but as soon as he gets in, he will just take the menu. He won't give a shit about us like kronke

We don't know that.

[Grebbo]

Way too much delight from several posters at the guy being under intense pressure. We know what's going on on the pitch. We don't know what's happening off it. Arsenal reminds me of the banks. Fucking people over left right and centre with 80% of the victims bending over for it because, you know, you need banks right? Unthinkable the world could ever work without them. So let's not even think about it. That's what the Wenger witch hunt is turning into. Just get the guy out, doesn't matter how, forget about the anything else going on at the club and all the others who have contributed to the downfall. The absent, miser who owns the place, the rats who sold everything so they could sell out, the players who continue to fuck up. Just get Wenger out and all that will magically sort itself out. And banks - they're great, we need them else how would we keep getting fucked over?

:gp:

[Grebbo]

We don't know that.

No we don't. Its bizarre some fans would rather have an American crook owning our club who doesn't spend a dime on it instead of Russia's richest crook who's pledged to spunk his ill-gotten gains on buying some decent players.

Bizarre.

[Kano]

it's more bizarre that any sort of argument can be found for either running the show.

both will do arsenal no good whatsoever but we are forever fucked now because only a select band of people can ever afford to own us, so it is pass the parcel from one **** to the other.

We have some slimey bastards at the top level that have a lot to answer for. They have sold out in a big way and we should remember all the talk about this club being properly run, English owned and keeping with tradition. That has all gone out the window with the current regime. But that doesn't excuse Arsene Wenger in the slightest. I'll tell you why I'm really pissed off with him, it's because he should know better than everyone else at that level because he's a man about football and keeping it pure. It the club has been raped from the inside, how has it been allowed to happen on his watch? Why has stood by and said nothing? What's worse, he's flying the banner for this current model and defends it against anyone that suggests otherwise with us much venom as we saw last night when he was defending his reputation and his team. He has put himself right in the firing line.

How can he come out and talk about this 'socialist' wage structure we have as if it's a fantastic idea if it means we do everything on the cheap while charging the higest ticket prices in the land? How can he even come out and defend the ticket price hike in the first place as he did a season or two ago? That has to be explained? Can you explain it if you think he's being screwed over by the Board? Stan is hardly in the country and his knowledge of football is limited. He has no idea how a football club in this country and the only bit of advice he could probably give is on sponsorship and expanding the brand because that's huge in the US. I can't imagine him telling Wenger how to run this club. That's not to say he's not here with an agenda but I figure the ball was already rolling before he arrived and he signed up after seeing the projections. Or we courted him so he can push the original agenda even further. That's all speculation but I really doubt we're seeing his influence right now. Not yet anyway. If this is the work of Stan, then why has Wenger stood by and waved the banner for this shit? I don't accept the PR talk and you do what you're told as a employee because it shows he's bloody spineless and has no integrity. That's bad enough.

Damn, I remember that as if it were only decades ago. I remember racing up the stairs cheering when the winner went in, and then falling back down them. Still, not as painful as throwing myself under buses which is what I do now.

I didn't say Wenger is being screwed over by the board. I'm saying he's taking all the flak. It's right he takes his fair share but not the bastard board's too. They've all presided over this shambles. I particularly loathe Kroenke because he's just a vulture picking at the carcass left by the rats. I doubt he has any direct input other that to instruct his minions to do whatever is necessary to secure his return on investment.

They all need to be gone along with 90% of the squad. So many of them on the take and giving fuck all back.

If you could stop thinking as an Arsenal fan and become neutral, who would you say is a bigger c*nt- Glazer or Kroenke?

[Niall_Quinn]

Hard to say. Kroenke is literally anonymous. No sound from him, sure as hell no money. He has zero interest in the club. The Glaziers at least stuffed some cash in, even though they lumbered the club with debt to do it. Several titles later and with all the cash and merchandising that brings, the Glaziers must be well ahead of Kroenke in terms of success at the bank and it's a no-contest in terms of success on the pitch. Neither **** is good for football and nor is that Abromovich tosser or those thieving Arabs. And the dirtiest pig of all is linked up behind Kroenke to ooze his way into our place. It's a ****fest, hard to know which is the most rotten.

[Globalgunner]

Bottom line is that there are no Saintly Billionaires(Warren Buffet excepting) are few less that are fans of the club they choose to invest in. Like I posted previously, SK has invested about 500m GBP buying the 70% he owns in the club. Up till now he has not taken a penny out. He has also not invested in the playing side of things. Maybe out of choice or maybe because Wenger told him it wasnt needed. Remember we have a stockpile of cash in the bank. He might even have been consulted and sanctioned the sale of RVP, but for all we know, he may not even know RVP from the next player in the squad especially when told by the Prof that we can do without him. So lets leave SK out of this... Somewhere down the line the man is going to cash in whenever the value of the club seems highest. However his track record for selling his assets is pretty scanty so its hard to know where his thoughts lie long term. Nothing that SK has done has brought us into decline. We have the revenue, stadium and resources to stock this team with the next to top tier players on the market i.e within the 20-30m bracket. That we do not do that is down to Wenger and his parsimonious approach. He prefers to shop at the 3rd tier of 10-15m where he can find malleable characters who have bought in to his myth of greatness and will follow without question. This dose not last for long as said players if talented get antsy after 3-4 years of zero progress and the stagnation that pervades Wengers approach. A manager can manage for 30-40 years but a player has a top shelf life of 10-12 years

Wengers greatest mistake is thinking all people and players are all ready and willing to be pawns in his insular universe where he is king of all he surveys. Problem is he is not even half of the genius he likes to think he is. Now all that is left for him is hubris, fits of pique, and as seen recently, outbursts bordering on mania. I used to think Fat Sam had an over inflated opinion of himself but now i see Wenger takes the prize cake.

And kroenkes fundamental error is allowing his floor manager to have so much say in too many things. Imagine you invest 500million into a company, would you just leave all the cogs and wheels to one man down below or ensure there are others around him that he answers to? That can push him on matters in and out of his area of expertise? You would overlook that if you had other objectives and goals to achieve and if this man could target the bare minimum for you, without having to invest even more whilst building up the value of the investment you already have under your wing.

...with that initial investment having been made using similar grey tactics with other sporting operations that have since turned into bland, non-competitive investment vehicles. The boring, anti-sporting **** knows one way and granted it works.
