Never thought there would be a time where our own fans were backing the manager of Liverpool over our own club.
Rogers is a twat who openly invited the press to talk about Theo Walcott last summer, so the lipstick wearing cunt can fuck off.

It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Arsenal have acted with nothing but dignity over this whole affair. It's Liverpool that are making everything public.
Anyone who agrees with Rogers needs to have a word with themselves.
I really don't understand how an offer for a player in private can be classless, whatever it is. Derisory yes but classless? Classless is criticising, nay, denigrating the buying club publically of why a player would want to go there.
40 million and a pound is more insulting than a £35 million offer seemingly.
I'm criticising the owners of our club not the club itself.
Let's be honest here, if we believed a clause existed it's because we've spoken to someone who thought it did, this suggests we went behind Liverpool's back at some stage.Originally Posted by McNamara That Ghost...
Some might call this tapping up something we've complained about in the past but it seems ok for us to do.
There is plenty to criticise the club about, but the only mouthing off in the press is from Liverpool and the absolutely total hypocracy from Brendan Rodgers.
At that stage we all knew about the clause, or at least we thought we did! What you say is right though, the agent probably had indicated to Arsenal that if you bid that amount, he'd be allowed to leave. Liverpool can't be that naive to insert (or promise to a player apparently) that they could go for a certain amount and that other clubs would not find out about it though. Why would they agree to put it in/promise to the player?
It might have been tapping up (I think he wanted to leave way before we ever bid for him though) but we're talking about the offer itself as being classless.
I always felt the offer was a bit of a p*ss take to be honest, it's the £1 that would really rile someone up (and it has clearly). We decided to go down that route and now Liverpool are annoyed it's no big surprise to me.
Even when you didn't believe we had made it?
To be honest, if I had seen that come through a fax machine or whatever, I would have laughed.
I don't care if Liverpool are hypocrites and annoyed. Their player wants to leave - I don't particularly want him, but while we don't know what the clause specifically is, the clause is there because that is what they themselves valued him at. They probably even valued him at less than that as well because these clauses are usually at a premium to the actual valuation.
