Arsenal Thread 2013/14

[stony]

City is a once distinguished now despicable club that has been hijacked by arabs who stole a fortune based on some archaic notion they have a God given right to gather the resources of a nation into their own hands. They have tried to use the proceeds of their immoral activities to buy some sort of respectability in the UK, via ownership of what was once a football club. Because the FA is staffed by weak, greedy and incompetent cowards these arabs have achieved their goals, technically speaking, though surely nobody is really fooled?

Even with the obscene amounts of money they have ploughed into the attempted purchase of titles and trophies they have come up laughably short, beaten by a mediocre Man Utd last season and headed by an Arsenal in transition this year, not to mention a series of humiliations in the Champions League. It really is comedy stuff, like a heavyweight constantly being knocked out by a featherweight - you'd laugh your arse off if that happened but because there so much money in the equation people barely mention just how poorly they have performed comparatively.

Now they have ploughed hundreds of millions more into their efforts and by trail and error have eventually managed to staff almost every place in the squad with high fee/ high salary mercenaries to the extent they are virtually immune from the effects of injuries, suspensions and general fatigue.

If this is achievement of any kind then why not find the next boy scout selling lemonade, whip out your wallet and set up a bigger stand and put the kid out of business then gloat about it? See how it feels to be al-manchester city. Of course some people admire them for this, hard to know why but they do.

As for Arsenal, as much as we have all hated it, they run the club as a proper business. There is absolutely no comparison between the two in terms of business practices and the spirit of the game in general. The arabs are trying to buy what we already have, but they'll find their money can't buy everything.

I can taste your tears, they are bitter and salty but nothing ever tasted better.

Bwahahah you what?! The only team of last seasons top 4 clubs to keep their manager (who's been in situ longer than any other manager in the league by eons now Slur has retired), assimilating a grand total of ONE major signing into the first team.

If that's being in transition then we've practically started a new club from scratch!

Love how he signs it off swallowing the company script hook line and sinker too. Must be a riot down at a tarquin local.. "Yeah but never mind the time Aguero won the league for City with the last kick of the game, what about that time we did business the right way? Fucking edge of the seat stuff that was, stays with you for a lifetime.."

I think stony might have taken some artistic licence there.

Quite xenophobic too. Too bad that he's a gunner but I guess all clubs have some proportion of unsavories supporting them?

As opposed to being owned by a man who married into one of the richest families in the USA and another who is Russia's richest man via a fortune I'm sure he made entirely from the sweat of his brow and that didn't involve any criminality or cronyism at all.
