39th Game

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Yeah I'd have no issue with a London NFL team playing their games in Wembley, I just don't think it's right for the Chicago Bears to play the Green Bay Packers there in a regular league match. It devalues the competition for me.

The European Cup final always changes venue so that's a moot point really, what I wouldn't like to see is a Seria A, La Liga, Bundesliga etc. game taking place in any other country than their own.

Well he has a star quarterback with the rams who is always injured, so it is like we are already connected as clubs 8)
Do these Rams win a virtual trophy every year..?

Lol Bradford is not a star quarterback. He's average at best.

Interestingly, Kroenke has to surrender control of his basketball and ice hockey teams by the end of the year per an NFL rule.

Not sure what this will mean for Arsenal.

Another 3% rise in ticket prices and a £3,000,000 consultancy fee for another family member allegedly.

No, the NFL has a rule where you cannot own a franchise from a different professional sport in a market that also houses an NFL team.

He owns the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets in Denver, which is also home to the Denver Broncos.

The wonderful Kroenke sporting empire

Denver Nuggets 12th from 15 in the NBA Western Conference
Colorado Rapids 7th from 9 in the MLS Western Conference
Colorado Avalanche 5th from 7 in the NHL Western Conference
Colorado Mammoth 3rd from 4 in the NLL Western Conference
St Louis Rams 4th from 4 in the NFC West

The man might be a business winner but is nothing but a sporting loser owning a collective of losing franchises and the day he bought the majority shareholding in our club will go down as one of the worst day's in the club's history

Who'd want nasty old Alisher (sorry Jabba) when you've got good old Stan eh ?

Wig wearing *word censored* - I will celebrate like never before when he sells up and fucks off. My loathing for him is 1000x what it ever will be for There's Only One. Fuck off Stan you useless, detestable, greedy wanker
