I want Rice just to witness this little cunts salty tears. Arsenal have firmly moved up the “fuck them” ladder after this season.

Tricky subject to get into, really. Is Real's history all those European Cups or is it being bankrolled by a fascist dictator? For Arsenal, is it those titles in the 30's, or the wonderful football they initially played under Wenger or is it how they got back into the league controversially or George Graham's dodgy deals or them taking 'oil money' for sponsorship a long time before we did?

If history is based on when things were done i.e. the older the better the does it mean we should want the best players to go to the teams who used to win stuff, not just the ones who've recently won stuff? If so, should Rice go to Arsenal, or should he choose say Preston or Blackburn. Or should he even choose City, since we won a cup a generation before Arsenal did?

All becomes very confusing if you want to discuss history...
 
Lots of dick measuring in this thread recently, deference is with City. Its performance not size, onwards on upwards :)
 
Others may look at it differently, but for me a youngish player choosing to join a team that hasn't won the league in 20 odd years over a team that is nearlt always in the shake up for the CL & PL, who don't have a great manager (just a promising one who learnt everything from the manager of the team that you turned down), where both teams play in the same league and are 200 miles from each other, lacks ambition.

There is absolutely zero guarantee that Arsenal will progress and that last season wasnt a flash in the pan (remember that Liverpool, Chelsea & Spurs all had nightmares), so he may as well stay at West Ham if he isnt going to back himself to be able to be part of a team that guarantees medals (3 times CL semis in 3 years, 5 PL titles in 6).

Plus, Pep has a marvellous track record for improving players (can't say the same for Arteta so far).

Don't mind Jack Haketts posts on the board usually,he has crept into wum territory on this thread though.

The thing is though he will make a fairly reasonable post and half the board gets wildly offended and calls him a **** and says fuck off for no reason. Certain City fans have become hyper sensitive with success. It's gotten so opposition fans can't even come on here and offer a perspective, makes the board a poorer place.
