LA Wiggy Rams have just scored a field point over the bar in the last couple of minutes against San Francisco G*****s in the All American Rugger Bugger semi final. :banghead: Looks like a win. :barscarf:

Even less chance of the Wiggy bastard spending any transfer cash now they're in the final against the Cincinnati Benders in two weeks time! :box: :censored: :cussing: :banghead:

The Wiggy bastards are also playing the final in their home fécking stadium :banghead:

Fécking Wiggy bastard out now! :barscarf:
Rinse and repeat mate. Over 10 years of this odious c.unt now and here we go again

Remember when we finished within a point of the CL and reached the EL final. The manager wanted Zaha to kick on, and instead the board's gift was fucking Pepe....all because the rumoured 72m was payable over 5 years and because of "resale value". That worked out well didn't it? We would have been back in the CL by now if Emery had been backed properly

In fairness to Arteta he would have had a crack at the top 4 this season given how shit everyone outside the top 3 is.....but much as I can't stand the bloke, I can't blame him if we go into the next four months with one centre forward and a complete lack of proper midfielders

The Kroenkes will forever be the root cause of our longer term woes
Can't look any further than the Kroenke's for this transfer window. Edu finalised a deal for Arthur Melo only for the board to throw it out, making him look an utter twat.

Kroenke has clearly decided that top 4 isn't a priority this season. Someone tell him you don't build a competitive team on the strength of one decent transfer window in ten years.

Sounds like a complete lack of communication between WiggyCUNT&JnrCUNT and the Cigar totingWanker


btw: Edu already looked like a twat... :D :wink:

I don't think anyone is saying its exclusively on Kroenke, but look at the track record since he was owner. We were never the moneyball club like Chavski, Man Ure etc even when we were successful but even in our cherished little ground under previous owners we could still land the occasional Bergkamp, Overmars, Platt etc.....not just promising kids.

If the extent of this window is a failed ex-Chav c.unt Morata on loan then it perfectly sums up Kroenke's Arsenal - settle for less than second best.

The riches of the PL are such now that anything between 5th and 17th carries little extra reward. The EL is a loss maker up to the semi final stage anyway, so they don't value it.

I don't disagree with Augie on the whole loaning players out stuff and have slated the decisions to let AMN and Chambers go in this window

What's weird is that Capt Black was in LA last week to "discuss" the transfer needs and other stuff with Wiggy&Jnr....so sut=rely they would have told him what could be spent / bought and what £ was available; if any.

Mate,

Legohead was probably in LA purely to discuss his new contract and they probably told him at the same time that he has to reduce costs and if he's a good boy they'll throw him 50m to spend in the summer.

One of the biggest misconceptions around the club is that we supposedly strengthened the squad greatly with our summer signings when in reality we still left ourselves short in many areas. Partey Is our only decent central midfielder, we tried to offload Xhaka and then when no one was stupid enough to take him he was still an instant starter every week. Up front we know how shit Laca and Nketiah are but even if they weren't wouldn't it make sense to at least get someone in when 2 of your 3 striking options are out of contract in the summer. The only conclusion Is Arteta is happy to work under any shitty conditions the club gives him as long as he collects his millions each year. Kroenke is a despicable leach but whether it's Wenger, Emery or Arteta our yes men manager is a huge problem that also needs calling out.

Is anyone truly surprised, bear in mind for all our outlay in the summer our 'marque' signing was Ben White at £50M.

I’d argue that the board only flushed the deal down the pan because something wasn’t quite right. Whether it was the finances, the loan payment structure etc. Edu hasn’t established himself a reputation of being a master negotiator, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he got an agreement for the player but it was stacked heavily in Juve’s favour.

That makes sense, I'd forgotten about the extension to his contract...


every which way we iz Fucked....

I don't see us winning the Prem till the kroenkes are gone - which is never - just need to stop loving Arsenal FC; something we have all done since childhood and walk away really and put my time and energy into something else, something more Positive and Productive and that won't wind me up, and depress me. :cry: :goingtobed:

According to @tvdellosport, once Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's loan to Barcelona is completed, #Arsenal will proceed to buy Espanyol striker Raúl de Tomás. https://t.co/YAZPd1AkLP

Well if the same board sanction a £75m bid for Isak triggering his release clause today, I would suggest they haven't got a fucking clue what they are doing.
