we'll win something or we won't but at the end of the weekend, when the alarm rings for most fuckers on a monday morning it's back to the grind, whilst this lot can drift about some turf for a few hours and call it work.
All true. But even in our little rat runs, nobody likes a greedy fucker. And you might say get as much of it while you can. Nothing can be different while that's the attitude though. It has to start and end somewhere, won't be with these fucking footballers, it will have to be with us the plebs. So the only real power we have is not to subscribe to Sky, I hope enough make the choice and these fuckers go hungry. I could tolerate them when they were providing entertainment. Like everything in life, the less you get the more it costs. Football is just a symptom of a wider problem, like when Labour became the Tories. Football reflects what the world has become. Football wages might be a fantasy but let's choose some point somewhere to hold the line so total ****s like Rooney don't end up robbing us for a million a week. A nothing footballer like Fellani (good because he's not as bad as most of the rest) is worth what? Fuck all. Offer him a fiver (in arrears) and at least retain some dignity while he turns us down.Quote:

Ancelotti approves sale of Gonzalo Higuain to Arsenal to fund Bale transfer
Seems the roadblock has been cleared for Higgy to finally come home.
On another note, I can't help bursting into hysterical laughter everytime I see the figures attached to Bale. :haha:
Football. :rose:

JFC no!
This can't be true, not after what our CEO recently trumpeted.

He was a decent keeper at Villarreal. Don't think he's retired though. He's only early 30s I thinkQuote:

its an interesting theory, i think there could be something to it, if i was united wouldnt sell a rival another striker and strenghten them if they had already bought a world class one, so maybe the club is just wanting to do a mass announcement.
Yes that would be Wenger the famous poker player at his insouiciant best again. Never let the opposition know how you're gonna come 4th again.
Of course you would make sure everyone knows you are poor first, and struggle to that extra bag of crisps to seal the deal...oh right :ilt:Quote:

Going back through the evidence of the last decade I'd say yes, Higuain, Fellaini and Rooney are on the way.

We better off looking for internal solution IMO. Bendtner, Park, Ramsey & co are raring to play next summer. :coffee:Quote:

But 29-year-old Chelsea striker Fernando Torres could partner Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain, 25, in a new-look Arsenal frontline if manager Arsene Wenger gets his way.

I thought 130 pages of gossip about ZERO transfers was bad over at the online gooner, and yet you lot have surpassed yourselves!
Surely the chat should be about how wenger NEARLY signed higuain, when chelski meet his salary demands and transfer fee.
#pointlessthread
Have we been heavily linked with Biglia yet?
What about Sebastien Frey?
More chance of Glenn Frey tbh.
Fray Bentos.
I`ll be having a piece of that.

We were linked to one of these guys:
Spurs complete the signings of Alen Halilovic and Tin Jedvag from Dinamo for €20M
It wouldn't a first for those ***** to use our scouting network.....truth is and if true they are welcome to him.....think we have a few bigger names to hear about first before being forcefully appeased with more of Wumger's 'WHO da Fu#k?' transfer dealingQuote:

Arsenal fear being hijacked by richer rivals in their bid to sign Wayne Rooney, 27, from Manchester United and 25-year-old Gonzalo Higuain from Real Madrid.

Classic Arsenal, takes us absolutely months to complete any transfer deals. I see Arsene has reverted to "type" and is baulking at paying the market rate for certain players too.
This is turning into a "typical" Arsenal transfer window.
