Match Reaction - Arsenal vs Sunderland

[Özim]

wtf you on about,

You talking bollox

[Cripps_orig]

Footballs changing. It always is.

In the 90s we had the premiership created and im sure it was different in the 80s, 70s etc although im too young to remember that.

We're in an era of the billionaire. We can either sit back and moan about it and wish for football to go back to how it was or we can join in with the big boys.

Time for the Russian to step in cos its clear Kroenke wont change anything.

Btw i agree with everything said about City on here

[Joker]

What's happening with City has happened on a smaller scale in football for a long time. Vilifying them and blaming them for our troubles is simply a kop out.

Moreover, if we want to talk about greed in the game we would do better to look at the foundation of the Premier League, which was motivated by greed and nothing else.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

You don't see many who say Chelsea's trophy wins are hollow, the Chelsea fans were pretty happy...you saying their trophies are hollow is you trying to make yourself feel better...they're not at the end of the day as they go down in the history books....just like City's will if they are successful.

Chelsea spents loads and had a very good manager so they won and they sound gained respect in the game.

I agree Man City have spent a lot of money and it's not fair, difference is now is that they can also attract players because they are capable of winning trophies and player will perceive it to be a club where they can play alongside the best players and win stuff (as well as ear money obviously).

Whether you perceive it to mean anything at all means nothing, they're not trying to please you as you're not a City fan so why would they care?

They were capable of winning trophies before they got rich tbh, but no one chose to go their then. They could have easily won the CC or fa cup.

If the trophy you mean is the league then fair do's

Yup agree with that.

City are spending sh*tloads and have an unfair advantage but at the end of the day if they win stuff for a while it will soon be laregely forgotten, besides our model of taking the fans for a ride is hardly a good example.

Think I'd rather move with the times like you say.

They were never serious title challengers and what you forget is that Chelsea spent loads before the Russian came in, they signed a load of top players under Vialli and Ranieri (Zola (Gullit signed him but he was one of many top players), Petit, Deschamps, Desailly, Casiraghi (though he never really played) etc etc)...it was nothing new...Abrahmovic just brought more money into it.

Chelsea had no real history either before the Russian and the reason they were 3rd/4th is they spent a shitloads on buying top players.

It is all meaningless hollow nothingness.

Yeah agree on chelsea and now you can say they have ambition if you want to, because they are hungry to win even if its short term succuess. Though id rather watch chelsea in the Zola days to now. They played better then and won cups that the club and fans could be pround of.

I agree Jose M gave them more ambition that thay have now.
