Wow, I didn't think it'd be this hard but at the same time I never realized how many clubs the previous quotes could be attributed to. According to one fan of our chippy, mystery Former League Winning Side, glory is around the corner though.

Chuggo posted:

Every atom of my being hates to say it, but with a heart as heavy as the great River Mersey runs deep, my trembling fingers must type these most painful of words, dripping with all the sorrow in all of the Worlds: King Kenny - thank you sincerely for your most greatest of efforts, but the time has come for you to exit stage left with your head held high.

Like a father, you picked up a bruised baby at the turn of the year - a pulp of a baby that had been kicked and shaken and pummelled by negligent parents (Hicks and Gillett); neglected and malnourished by a hapless carer (Hodgson); and bullied and harrassed in the school yard by a bunch of jealous cowards (the media).

You gave that baby its pride once more, with the love, strength and paternal wisdom only you could provide. You reminded the infant of its glorious blood line, and breathed life into its faultering lungs with your gentle kisses. For this we the fans - all of us your children - thank you more than this humble scribe can ever express.

But now the kindest thing you can do is let go of that little hand that grips so tightly to your finger. So much has changed in the last twenty years - you took your leave from the honest working man's game of football. Sadly you returned to the corrupt dirty business of billionaire whoredom.

Things have not gone well. But you, our liege, have done your job. You have reigned over us during our darkest hour and shown us the glimmer of hope and light that lies in the sparkle of your forever youthful eyes. But the time has come for you to perform that most hurtful of acts - a fate no father should have to endure once, never mind twice - to wave farewell to your beloved kin for the second time.

I'm in tears as I type this but thank you, King Kenny, and goodb...I can't do it. I just can't do it...

There is a freaking poo poo ton of players being linked to Arsenal...I know I know...but even more than normal....Poldi, Gotze, Hazard, Mvila, Martinez, Odemwingie, Vertonghen and others...

Also were basically sure to sell Arshavin, Denilson, Bendtner, Vela, Park, Chamahk, and Squillaci...That should net at LEAST 30 million pounds to help fund the expected 50-75 million pound spending splurge that is needed.

So here is my Dream Arsenal Lineup for 2012-2013 that can be trophy contenders in any competition

GK -- Szcz/Fabianski

RB -- Sagna/Jenkinson
CB -- Mertesacker/Koscielny
CB -- Vermaelen/Vertonghen
LB -- Santos/Gibbs

DM -- Song/Javi Martinez
CM -- Ramsey/Arteta
AM -- Jack/Rosicky

RW -- Gotze/Ox
LW -- Gervinho/Theo
ST -- RVP/Poldi

Last 3 -- Joel Campbell (ST), Abou Diaby (CM), Ignasi Miquel (CB)

I dont think I am forgetting any regulars...Coquelin and Frimpong could also be included depending on the statuses of guys like Diaby who are always hurt, and maybe we also buy a cheap 3rd striker whos better than Campbell.

But if that is our lineup we are a serious side for the first time since 07-08, except unlike that team wed have the depth and quality to compete on all 4 fronts and not just the league.

It would require buying (my preference of the guys linked) Gotze (too much chatter to ignore here, theres at least a 50% chance we get him), Poldi (basically a done deal, but so was mata and we fuhked that up), Martinez (Bilbao enforcer 25-30% chance right now), and Vertonghen (lots of chatter here at least a 50% chance atm). Those 4 would be in the 60-70 million range probably.

I can dream right? Its nothing unreasonable but it would be the first time Wenger has splashed out in years. However the squad has gotten so bare over time that it is needed.

Thoughts?

City fans annoy me because they are still in the mindset of a smaller club, "Everyone is against us - why does everyone hate us? Baww!".
They haven't yet adjusted to the fact that big successful clubs are usually hated. United Barca Arsenal fans etc just shrug their shoulders and accept that 90% of people want them to fail and that they will get ripped by everyone when they do so.
Take it with some dignity or laugh it off, make a joke about buying the league rather than sob and make up paragraphs of financial bullshit trying to act like you actually turn a profit. Be grateful you were picked at random by a qatari oil baron and don't throw all the toys out of the pram when the success you buy with it is questioned.

quote:

Their support is terrible, their first ever CL game in history this season and it wasn't even a sell out - and only their 3rd semi final against Liverpool in about 20 years had about 65% attendance.
Their atmosphere is much worse than ours, when you consider this season is the start of a golden age, and its one of our worst relatively speaking.
Etihad is always quiet seems to me, most of the crowd seem to be packed out with kids who buy up the discounted tickets (ofc they can offer huge discounted prices since the money isn't actually needed by them) Most of the ones on reddit are totally obsessed with Arsenal moreso than even United, I guess we are the ying to their yang in terms of how we do things, and it burns them to think about it.
I feel sorry for the real city fans, their club as they knew it no longer exists, in its place is a plastic qatari plaything. I guess that's where their resentment on here comes from.

quote:

I'm with you %100, Man City's way of doing things is harmful to football, takes away from the real essence of football. Throws everything that was history and philosophy, ideals, out of the window.
City is not even a team in my eyes, just a bunch of mercenaries bullying their way through the EPL.
Arsenal for me is the right way to do things, you are responsible for your actions and you build your future, staying true to your values.
City is cheating. It's like a football manager game with cheat codes. They don't deserve to win.

@Bunburyist,
Exactly good point! I felt bad for Jack making tweets about Chelski and getting absolutely killed for it. I mean the guy is a young Englishmen, he is going to be the next big name for England once this “old guard” is retired. Anyways, I wish he would cool it on the “Come on you Blues” comments, but I can appreciate his English pride. I was torn myself in who to root for. I of course detest our Western neighbors and want them to fail at everything, but they are old and having an extra match to play and more pressure to pile on could possibly be to our advantage. I mean who gives them a chance in hell of making the final? There’s no way with their current form.

Once again farca cheat and dive there way to victory. Teh fact is: Farca will go down as the dirtiest team in football, bribing refs like Ovrebo, Stark, Frisk, Buttsacks, etc. They also inject their players with HGH. It is obvioius from tonight taht classless pep injected his players with an extra dose of HGH before the match. Farca are protected by the corrupt buttholes Uefa and Fifa. Uefalona is over 400 million euros in debt, 300 million of which come from the bribes they paid to the refs over the years. The 400 pound obese plastic american fans may not agree with these facts but they cannot think clearly due to years of inbreeding and stuffing their fat faces with cheetos

its disappointing to see farca fans cannot accept the facts presented here but msot of them are inbred trailer trash with an IQ of 40.

Messi is not even the best right now, let alone put him in all time lists. CR is the most complete and best footballer currently and would make the all time top 15 list. messi would struggle to make the all time top 25 list

Wake me up when messi does something outside of xavi and iniesta and in multiple leagues under different conditions like CR

watch messi fade away into obscurity once xavi and iniesta stop spoon feeding him

Honestly messi is media hype and fanboy propaganda. he is nothing special and should never be compared to the likes of Pele, Maradona etc as he will never be as good

To all you clowns who are riding messi jock because you happy that he can give you head without having to go on his knees??/
