Not for a club like Arsenal, anyway. I think clubs outside the CL would be more happy to spend silly on a team for 3/4 years until they are able to generate more money of their own through sponsorship and stuff and then get into the CL - it's essentially what City did.

Make that 2 goals Tottenham. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) A ditto copy of the first one!

This defending is beyond abysmal. If Wigan were bad yesterday this is ridiculous. |

I play football on a Sunday with 3 Arsenal fans. They'll still no doubt try and convince me Vermaelen and Mertersacker are anything but terrible defenders.

Story of Villa's season. Batter Man City for 45 minutes, then right on half-time a defender slips which allows City to break and score. When the luck's against you, it's really against you.
EDIT: Worse yet, half-time replays show it wasn't a slip, but a foul. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Mar 4 2013, 09:57 PM |

One angle looked like he clearly tripped him, though reverse the angle and it's clear he's going down before Dzeko touches him. Dzeko makes contact but looks like his leg is going before he does, think no foul call was fair in all honesty.

Dzeko makes contact but looks like his leg is going before he does, think no foul call was fair in all honesty. Highlighted bit is the key. There is contact, no doubt about it. Would it have made a difference had he not touched him? I doubt it. But you can't trip someone and say "Ah, he'd have fell over anyway", it's still a foul. City really are poor without Dzeko. Tevez is not good enough to lead a line on his own, he just doesn't have the game for it. Dzeko comes on and it's completely different. |

Always been very critical of Fabian Delph, but Jesus, tonight he's been out of this World. Making a mess of the Champions.

Better team lost. QPR and Reading up next. Massive games for us.
EDIT: Showing highlights now. Benteke kicked over in the box by Nastasic who then handballs it. 2 penalties in 1 and it's not given. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Ah, top 4 refs FTL. This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Mar 4 2013, 11:14 PM |

QUOTE (Milan Are Brilliant @ Mar 3 2013, 04:24 PM) It's not going to be this simple anymore with the FA introducing FFP, hopefully they stick to their guns with it. This is a buyout of existing shareholders, GBP1.5Bn in exchange for full control of Arsenal. If the offer was accepted the new buyers would also have to bear the liability of FFP (or in Arsenal's case an advantage, if you follow my drift). But yeah, they wont be allowed to buy themselves to success ala Chelsea and City. |

Tevez arrested for being a total retard, which goes completely in line with his character. Driving whilst banned.

Does anyone even care about the FA Cup anymore? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Didn't even know it was United - Chelsea this afternoon, thought the big game was Liverpool - Spurs.
Also rumours hotting up about Cristiano going back to United, can't see it myself but I know what I'd do if I had to move Rooney on to get Ronaldo back. |

I never really cared for either the FA or League Cup. Just one 'cup' competition is enough, having two makes it absolutely pointless.
