Pfft, Wenger playing the waiting game? It's was all bollox in the first place. Unwilling to pay over 23mil for Higuain, but going to splash out over twice as much on a player who's still facing match bans and what not? Horseshit. These ****s manage to swindle the fans every summer.
horseshit
awful cowshit.
No Penguin, by my definition, if you go up to someone of another colour/race and call them an offensive name mentioning colour then that is Racism. Whilst the "Yid" statement is racist, it is not done in the same context, I.E. it's a chant to offend fans of a team, are we now saying that every supporter of Spurs is jewish? Of course if some of those said fans are jewish then it is offensive to them and racist....but in the general context of things you can't compare the Suarez incident with Arsenal fans shouting "Yids" at Spurs fans.So by your definition, Arsenal fans who have called spurs fans yids are racists. Or do you think it's more acceptable to demean Jewish people than black people? Were they racist or just ignorant?
Regardless of what Suarez said, that doesn't mean he hates other races or thinks he's superior to them. I've heard people call Scholes a ginger c*nt for years, even I've done that. It's essentially the same thing, the only difference is that it's more socially acceptable than racist comments. But even if I did say that I have absolutely nothing against ginger people at all.
I think we are going to have to agree to disagree because we clearly see things differently.
Arsenal have turned their attention to Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, 26, after top target Gonzalo Higuain left Real Madrid to join Napoli.

Good ol' Metro. Fingers on the pulse...

Good ol' Metro. Fingers on the pulse...Are Liverpool "plotting a move for Watford star John Barnes" too?
To join up with our exciting young talent, Billy Liddell.
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11669/8849559/Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool's season depends on keeping hold of Luis Suarez - and says a move to Arsenal "doesn't make sense at all".
Suarez remains heavily linked with a move away from Anfield with Arsenal having two bids rejected for the Uruguay international striker, the last one of £40million plus £1 which they believed would trigger a sale clause.
Liverpool have always maintained they merely had to inform the player of offers of that magnitude and have been steadfast in stating Suarez is not for sale.
Anfield captain Gerrard certainly does not want to see the 26-year-old leave - particularly to a club he sees as a direct rival in the race for Champions League football.
In an interview in the Independent, he said: "It's difficult every season to finish in the top four positions because of the power the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United have got at the moment.
"it all depends on what decision Luis Suarez makes in the next few weeks. If we lose him then the challenge becomes even more difficult. It's that simple"
Steven Gerrard
"The likes of us, Tottenham and Arsenal are fighting to sneak into the other place that's available.
"Where we sit actually right now, it all depends on what decision Luis Suarez makes in the next few weeks. If we lose him then the challenge becomes even more difficult. It's that simple.
"If he goes to Arsenal, it obviously makes our season that little bit more difficult.
"It strengthens them an awful lot and they are our rivals for a top-four position. From the club's point of view it doesn't make sense at all, no matter how much money is put on the table."
Invest
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Gerrard emphasised Liverpool's need to invest rather than sell.
"This club needs to make one or two big signings if we are to compete for the top four - and keep Suarez," he continued.
"Alongside Gareth Bale, Luis is the third best player in the world after Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Luis and Bale are the two hottest properties out there at the moment.
"When you're in that position, you're going to get all kinds of teams wanting to pull you away, especially when you are at a club not in the Champions League.
"It's nothing to do with the British media [criticising Suarez]. Knowing the guy as I do that's probably the thing on his mind: wanting to be in the Champions League.''
Although Gerrard does not like the idea of Suarez leaving for North London, the midfielder would accept his team-mate leaving for Spain.
The 33-year-old continued: "If he was to go abroad to a Madrid or Barcelona I would totally understand it. He's a South American. He's good enough to play in either of those teams.
"From a family point of view, it's where they all want to be. Javier Mascherano, Xabi Alonso, some of the top players I've played with - their dream was to play for Real or Barcelona.
"If I was him I would wait for one of those two clubs because I think he's good enough to play for them."
The way Stevie Me is talking, you get the impression Suarez has indicated he is open to joining us, even if he discredits us at the same time.
3rd best player in the world, please, what total BS.
The hype that goes with some of these players, he's had one decent season in England and suddenly he's one of the 3 best players in the world.
Come on, this is Gerrard talking. The biggest flop in English football since the rest of the biggest flops in English football.3rd best player in the world, please, what total BS.
