Arsenal fans celebrations.....

[BTH]

yes feeder club, loool . And how have those signings worked out for you?? Give us some more cash please, take chamakh, djorou, park, squillaci, bendtner (infact he might be your second choice striker) and denilson also please, to follow tradition of taking our dregs.

None of our signings have added anything to your team, until you get one that actually improves your first team and hampers our team , im happy to be your feeder club - as you do pay generously :)

Either you've mised van Persie off by accident or you're already fully resigned to him stepping up from our Academy and joining our first team in the summer?

Yes I understood that , because firstly, you were able to construct a competent sentence and secondly, Van persie has signed to City.

Proper little Cockney know-all, aren't you? I note that you failed to address the issue about Arsenal's involvement with that hideous little gang (G18, nee G14) by attempting to use obfuscation.

But if you are going to come on here shouting the odds about other posters' comments, then at least have the decency to spell the name of your own player (for the time being at least) correctly. Normally, surnames require the capitalisation of the initial consonant or vowel as in Persie. Therefore, it's "van Persie" not, as you incorrectly spelt it, "Van persie".

This kind of ignorance/bone-idleness/stupidity {delete as applicable} might be tolerated on your own Arsenal forum, but this is Bluemoon and you're not on, treacle.

Personally, I think we should cut out the middleman and poach all Arsenal's best players directly from Southampton. At least they'd probably appreciate the money.

Agree, Southampton's academy is the best in England. We could have gone straight to them for Bale, Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Walcott. Now Luke Shaw is set to be poached by the amazingly classy Arsenal and is tipped to be England's next great left-back and Harrison Reed is supposed to be the closest thing to Scholes in a long time. Jake Sinclair and James Ward-Prowse also have the top clubs prowling... wonder what they put in the water down there.

Keep pissing myself laughing at that guy in the bottom left corner with the teeth

Great spot. Someone needs to put some music to this clip!

loool, love this gif, also makes me laugh.

The lorry driver in the yellow top is ace

I might be a dickhead, but at least I understand basic economics. We generate more money than any club in the country bar United. That suggests we are one of the wealthy clubs by the definition used by any business in the world.[/quote

So tell me then how does your £50 million investment in the 90's, handily right at the start of the Premier League money go round, differ from us getting our investment in 2008?
That basic enough for you?

Heres another. Where does all that money go then? Not on players, not on salaries apparently, yes you have a mortgage to pay, Manyooo have their debts to service but your boards are taking tens of millions out of the game, whereas ours are putting hundreds of millions in.

My basic economics say you're the dickheads for putting up with it.

The Fiszman investment in the early Premiership years to fund Bergkamp and Platt was completely different. First of all we were already champions the year before the Premiership started. Secondly his investment was returned to him many times over. That ain't going to happen in your or Chelski's case.

You are right about our owners and the Glazers in Salford. A bloodsucking cancer on the game is what those people are. The even uglier other side to the foreign ownership coin the Sheikh and Abramovich are.

Bottom line is foreign club ownership has harmed English football. For proof look at the German Bundesliga. They do not allow foreign ownership regardless of whether they are of the sugar daddy or bloodsucker variety.

The results?

Their league has the highest average gates in Europe. Ticket prices are affordable. They have terraces filled with the type of young fans we have priced out. Their clubs live within their means and are not dragged down by excessive debt. The atmosphere still resembles a football atmosphere. Their clubs produce more talent than ours. Certain clubs (Bayern) are more successful than others, but its a far more open and interesting league than ours.

No you weren't. Leeds won the last 'old' First Division title before the inception of the Premiership.

If you are going to come on a City forum and preach at least get the facts straight first.

This one?

I've tried to possess that fat fucking ****'s mind as he delivers himself to being a twat. It aint possible,

Keep pissing myself laughing at that guy in the bottom left corner with the teeth

Ray Parlour`s son getting involved also.

 

[Machinsmarvels5]

Presumably the salaries arsenal paid for Reyes, Henry, overmars, pires, bergkamp, CAMPBELL, etc etc were all in line with the clubs lower in the league back then?

These whinging babies ignorance is astounding... Shouldn't talk about economics without understanding the basics - the filth and arsenal priced all others out of the market years ago, and so we live with the results.... Just so happens we now have all the money - stop crying and accept it like we have had to for 40 yrs.

Oh I see so the £50 million investment wasn't required? Why take it then? I suppose the players it bought made you worse did they? What a load of bollocks.

How do you know the Sheikhs not going to get his money back? Look at the exposure Abu Dhabi and Etihad are getting already, and we havent started winning things regularly..... yet

and a lack of success in Europe. A country with eighty million people has six European Cup/Champions League wins with Bayern having four of those wins. This versus three countries of sixty million people with the following:

Spain, 13
Italy, 12
England, 11

Also, the Netherlands, a country of seventeen million people have six as well and Portugal with ten million people have four.

lol, you could do, but first you'd have to develop a track record of developing starlets into big players. So far your score on that level is 0 over the last 45 years unless you want to count Joey Barton and SWP.

Before the Premiership became a moneypot thats how clubs built successful sides. Our league winning sides in 89 and 91 contained 8 youth products (Adams,Davis,Thomas,Rocastle,Merson,Hayes,Quinn,O'Leary). Even United's dynasty was based on good youth development, but keep convincing yourselves football was dominated by an evil cartel before knights in shining armour like Abramovich and Mansour rescued it.
