How much did you lose ? :p

Wolves are in relegation zone, we'll be playing you next season.

I'm tempting to go and slit the throat of each ones of these players, just for the good of 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.

In reality it is a risk since you may well fail but it could also reward you with more income but Arsenal have got to the stage where they've become some what risk adverse.

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.

Personally I think the current system sucks, but that is football for you.

I was just reading that from taking over to winning the champions league Abramobitch spent £1.2 billion. Fuck me Chealsea really are spawny cunts to get him rather than someone like Romanov at Hearts.

So when he dies? :D


Seriously, how could you get bored owning a football club? Do you get bored supporting one?

I thought that too but as he has thrown more money away after winning the Champions League I am not sure how soon or if he will get bored.

He supposedly spoke to the team after the final and said "this is only the beginning" so doesn't seem like any time soon.

I wonder if when other rich owners like Berlusconi bought AC Milan, opposition fans said "LOL WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE GETS BORED?" like so many have since Abramovich bought Chelsea.

So he's a die-hard life-long Chelsea fan or he's just loaded and saw an opportunity to buy a team and play fantasy football for real?

I think the difference was Berlusconi was a fan before. Abramobitch had no ties to the Chavs before so it looked more like a rich boy trying a new sport. Rather than Horse Racing he went for football it was easy to think once he had achieved what he wanted he would be off. But spending even more after winning the CL I am not so sure.

I know it wont happen but if FFP did clip the Chavs wings like it should then it would be interesting seeing how he got on when he cant sack and buy who he likes.

4 words, John Terry Frank Lampard. When the two players who personify your club are massive chavs you get a nickname :)

Don't even know where to begin with the stupidity of that statement.

It does not have to make sense it is why people call you the Chavs.

Is Frank Lampard regarded as a chav? I've never really thought so. Terry, certainly, he's scum from a long line of scum, but not Lampard. Whether they exercise a malign influence over the Chelsea dressing room is a different matter.

Forgive me for thinking differently, but are you aged 15 or younger because the last time I heard anyone use the word 'chav' as an insult was when I was about that age. What are you going to go and do next, start calling people that listen to anything with a guitar in the 'listening' thread a 'greebo'? :)

Not as much I suppose no I would of put Cole up there as the bigger chav. Messed up with Cheryl Cole and shot a team mate with a Pellet Gun.

Obviously do not go to many Arsenal games you have been referred to as the Chavs by parts of our crowd for a very long time. And I still call Chavs Chavs. What word better describes them? And I have never heard of a fecking greebo.

Who wouldn't mess up Cheryl Cole. I'd mess on her as well. Actually I'd mess up every orifice until the Rohypnol wore off.

HAHA, yeah sure we have, we have 3 Arsenal season ticket holders (been ticket holders longer than you've probably been alive) in the office and barely any of them have known Chelsea to be called 'the chavs' for any length of time.

FML google Chealsea and The Chavs you will see it is something they have been called for a while. We are not talking 50 years but it is not a 2 week old nickname. If you can find it on Google it is a thing and that is Internet law.

So if I can find 'soze is a pedophile & likes to wack off to Wenger naked' on google, it's true?

It is Internet true yes. But just to be safe it needs more than 100000 result.

Chealsea the chavs gets - About 572,000 results so total fact.

I have heard Liverpool called Mugsmashers at the Emirates before and from a google that looks like a nickname the Arseblogger gave his Liverpool supporting brother that seems to have been picked up to be all Liverpool fans.

Personally I think most Chelsea fans live in Surrey and drive Range Rover Sports. Certainly from the evidence of that time when they were playing their home games at Loftus Road; I lived in the Bush at the time about half a mile from the ground, and every other fucking Saturday my street was wall to wall 4x4s.
