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

[Grebbo]

The club will live on but unless the bubble that is modern football bursts it still won't be the old Arsenal.
Sky promised us a whole new ball game. They delivered.

I dunno, I'm sure Arsenal profited from being cunts back in the day. It's just in this moment in history other clubs like City and Chavs are profiting and we're feeling the pain.

Weren't we bankrolled by some Tory chums after the war? I'm sure we had some unfair advantages like other clubs have today.

Imagine if Chelsea upped sticks and moved next door to us? That's effectively what we did to Tottenham

We even managed to get Big Sol on a free from those lot as we were quite good then, oh and we paid him £100k+ pw. Tottenham having turned down £17m from Man Utd for him the previous summer because he said he was gonna sign a new contract.

We're just not the big fish anymore and instead of us taking advantage of other clubs we're now the ones being taken advantage of.

Still doesn't excuse us from not spending our resources, that's just bizarre at best and a fucking disgrace at worst.

I'm sure football wasn't ever whiter than white but the sheer level of money which has grown exponentially in the last 20 years, the over-commercialisation of the game. It's ruined the game IMO. It's not a sport any more, it's big business.
There's no real connection between the fans and the club or players any more.
There never will be while the club see us as customers and there's always someone willing to wave a bigger cheque at the players.

Yes, we were backed by the Prudential serious fraud organisation and to a much lesser degree by a blood diamond merchant.

Pretty much our team for the Fenerbahce match.

We have kids who can play there.

The thing with Wenger is he's supposed to be an economist isn't he. So surely he must have realised last summer that with the new TV deal coming in this summer player prices and wages were going to sky rocket?

He also must have known these new sponsorship deals were coming into effect (they don't happen over night) so let's say he knew we'd have £70m this summer.

Wouldn't it therefore have made a lot more sense for him to have spent big last summer (dip into the cash reserves/debt)? We might have even convinced RVP to stay if he'd spent big on Suarez etc.

Last summer we could have got 3-4 top players for £70m, this summer you can get 2 top players for £70m.

I think the bottom line is Wenger has just lost focus. It's understandable with his length of time at the club. We certainly fucked up monumentally last summer, imagine keeping RVP and also spending £70m???

First Tuesday club podcast for the new season just out. Should be a right blast to listen to them rip into our lack of transfers this summer.
