This is actually good for football in general , though I doubt you'd get that opinion from the highly paid mercenaries at Citeh.
It happens.
Now give us a Benfica shining moment. Roman be damned.
Sorry , Bobert , don't hate you but I sure do dislike your embezzling gangster Chelskite owner. Hope he crashes his yacht and spills a drink on himself.
"The manager wanted me to be on the coaching side but it's going to be a different manager," he said. "I don't know what the new manager will want.
"But yeah, I would like to be in charge of my own team and in charge of my own players and try and make a team play the way I like football to be played."
After a good win at Stoke and Wigan on a high after the FA cup win i was feeling quite comfortable with our situation that was until i heard Pardew on the radio this morning saying now that Newcastle are safe he could not care less if they lose 4 nil to Arsenal on the final day he then said obviously the Spurs fans would not want to hear that.Whilst his concern is obviously Newcastle i would have thought he would keep such views to himself as a professional.I hope this does not mean the Geordies will roll over and gift the gooners 3 points on the last day with the managers blessing.Anyway not long to go now and keeping my fingers crossed. COYS
Well it's been a painful week to be a blue. Absolutely gutted about Mancini being axed as are 90 percent of blues. We can handle the cup defeat as Wigan thoroughly deserved it and we didn't turn up. We loved Bobby Manc as we call him at our club. He's made mistakes but which managers haven#$%$ the snakes behind the scenes that have done this. Brian Marwood in particular. It makes you sick when the people upstairs #$%$ about with your club. I don't need to remind you all about that as it has buggered your fine club up for the last five years or so.
Anyway, good luck to you all next year including Alan and The Pool. It was strange watching Hull the other day as I kept wondering whether easy was biting his nails off. Turns out the Leeds lads helped him out big time. Is he a peacock or a tiger as Andy rightly questions? Come on Easy come clean.
I don't think anyone cares there, but I'll give Fergie credit where it's due, at least he had the sense to walk before he got pushed.
You know, I had images of him clinging onto that Man U manager's job like a power hungry old emperor and his ticker giving up on the touchline the next time either Chelsea, City, Arsenal or even Newcastle United ripped Man U a new one!
There's an AGREED Buy-Back price in place with Barca, similar to the one Barca had on Oriol Romeu when they sold him to Chelsea. But the manUre-loving British media won't tell you that as it makes the rumour less attractive to their audience - the gullible manUre fans like you Rikki.
Don't be too harsh on the lad he's trying to come up with a new tin pot so that Moyes can feel he went out a winner. Wenger gets one for 4th every year so the Bluenoses feel they deserve one for finishing one spot away from Europe and getting ahead of the neighbors. Come on it only happens once in a blue moon for them so let them have something!
I certainly wouldn't say know to Benteke, but the board might say no to the price tag.
Players tend to be over priced in the PL and the board might see things differently, but i really like the boy, he has a strikers instinct.
1 more season like he has had and the value goes right up, so do we get in quick?
Sincerely sorry you have witnessed the 'immature banter' Radge.
All I will say in my defence is that I have always and without exception, treated other posters on this board as they have me and have never been abusive in any way to a supposed Arsenal 'supporter' on the Arsenal board before they have been abusive towards me.
Believe what you will, but that is the truth of it.
Some here just don't like those who either support Wenger, or take exception to the Man United supporters that have plagued this board for many a year.
I agree Fab, but we can hope that Financial Fairplay will curb the amounts of money clubs can spend relative to Revenue etc. I know this might be naive thinking given the influence of clubs like Real, Barca, Chelsea etc but for the good of football (and Arsenal) to enforce some form of FFP would benefit the sport IMO. I believe the whole salary cap issue in the US in the NBA and NFL has allowed for a more competitive land scape in those leagues. It would be nice if our financial prudence over the last many years could finally be rewarded by improving greatly our ability to compete for players.
Differently said, I hope FFP will prevent clubs like City, Real, Chelsea to pay 300pm because of their financial models.
