Lol Arsenal, you lucky bastards.

On a side note I think sacking Wenger would be stupid; who would they get in to replace him? Never mind the fact that they'd still be a selling club.

Like I said, ArseAnal are fucking shit. This will be ANOTHER year without silver. Change the manager, ARSE needs to go.

I never thought we would win this, I was unhappy we threw away the FA Cup for this if you look back. And if we lose this does not mean we should sack our manager.

Nothing seems make you actually want to do this, you whine and moan occasionally then you hear rumours of this or that player being bought which seems enough to appease Arsenal fans but each transfer window comes and goes and the only real noticeable thing you do is sell top players.

It is easy to think that when you support a Suggar Daddy club. Bad run of form lets drop another £60m on new players! That is not a reality for Arsenal.

Is that really the best you can do, Arsenal fans like to brag about the money Arsenal makes but it seems the only thing your Sugar daddies do is keep the money from your club.

You talking about financial fair play? I doubt you will be meeting that this year. How much did you spend this summer after barely breaking even. It will take some creative book keeping for you to conform to that.
Chelsea have showed profit. We are not worrying.

Oh you cunt. Chelshiti are fucking dire at the moment. It is not about money. It is about the players and the manager. If I had my way I would be rid of Fat Frank, Racist Terry and others. The manager should have the balls to tell those who are not welcome to fuckoff.

Thankfully you don't have your way ;-)

Same as above who would be get that is better than Wenger? We can not offer a massive war fund unless we find a way to increase what may as wel be called our "salary cap" money for transfers is there money for 5 years of that players wages are not. So show me a better manager and I will have a rethink. As is I would rather see Wenger retire at the end of a season and see someone like Moyes come in at that point not in a messy sacking mid season.

And again there is no evidence to suggest that they owners are bleeding us dry the accounts don't support that the accounts suggest we are cash rich but unless that income is guaranteed we don't commit it to wages.

What would replacing Wenger achieve? The problem is selling their best players and replacing them with cheaper players, changing manager won't prevent that, actually wenger does an incredible job with what he's got. Arsenal have looked naff lately though.

You made a £1m proffit in the year you won the Champions league this season you will not win that so are £20m down then you spent over £60m on players in the summer? Isn't FFP a 3 year rolling period to break even if so good luck considering you are £80m down this season :)

Wait and see. Our accounts will be fine as far as UEFA are concerned. If we *could* qualify for CL our books would not be the blocker.

I am sure Chelsea won Silver after 2005. Go google.
You said at 8 years we are going for a record I showed your 50 year wait for the league so not really a record is it!

Hehe, I will need to google, so Chelshiti didn't win any silver for more than 8 years up to the 50 year wait for the league?

You won the League cup 10 years later in 64, then the FA Cup in 70 the Uefa Cup in 71 then nothing till you won the 2nd division (oops) in 84 the thing you won next after that was the 2nd division (double oops) in 89 ;)

Oh 3-1. Remember Wenger said the FA Cup was a warmup for the Champions League. Go practise more.

Thanks. My son is the expert not me. I'll bear it in mind for future reference. I just love winding cunts who breath and live football up. :)

Firstly I'm not implying right now, it would be pointless any way but the reality is beside the odd whimper Arsenal fans conform to the status quo which suits the owners too. I'm not saying they are bleeding you dry but Wenger never seems to spend the money he allegedly has available to him, so to me either there are other problems or the owners see it as an investment as much as a passion and thus doesn't actually have much money to spend.

The fact is you will continue to have problems when it comes to trophies because what you produce you don't keep, you generally don't purchase any big names and to add to this the appeal of Arsenal drops because you can't win trophies.

Tragically I don't think it'll make a jot of difference because Arsenal fans conform to the same answers when dealing with the matter, almost Liverpool like but for different reasons.

Anyway, still think the owners of ArseAnal need to change their play, ie change their manager. Their style of play is so outdated.

I don't disagree with that and it is why I have said plenty of time we don't have a right to a trophy. But I still don't believe it is the owners taking the money I still believe it is being self sufficient and having a self imposed salary cap that is wasted on too many average players who used to be "wonder kids"

All teams waste massive amounts of money on crap players, hell Arsenal have questionable players even with a salary cap although granted we got a good few too with Torres being one of the of highest paid in the world.

I posted a while ago with the reasons. We can afford any transfer fee, that's not the problem. Our issue is we don't have the cashflow to sustain 'normal' wages at the level of recent trends. We may have 1,000 in the bank but if we earn 10 and spend 15, there's only so much that 1,000 will last.

Someone to use this team as shark bait or some shit, as I am kindly wishing unfortunate things on each one of them...

CUNTS SHOULD GO DIE IN A FIRE. Much better.

That is my point seeing as we have this "cap" we cant afford to carry players like Arshavin on his £100k a week plus who we could not even loan out. Add to that Denilson Bender Park and Chamack who are all playing for someone else but still allegedly costing us £20k+ a week each and the precious salary cap is wasted. In my opinion giving average players above average long term deals is what is hurting us.
