WS, Frimpong... proper Gooners.... what a stupid statement to make is it just because they come out with utter shit in the press? :roll: ... and as for Wenger, the first club he thought of when he said that he'd rather had sold RVP abroad was PSG.... yes, I bet he would have loved him to go there, his shares in the club would have rocketed... :roll:
Frimpong says hes an Arsenal fan, I find it a lot easier to believe from him than from many on here
there are no 'shares' in PSG, its owned 100% by the Quatar Royal family - another fantasy based nonsense accusation against our manager
this board is becoming embarrasing
cant wait for the real football to start
How do you know all this? Seriously. How do you know the Qataris didn't give Wenger some shares for his help doing the deal? RVP has said he is an Arsenal fan over the years. As did Cesc.They both left. Charlie George was set to sign for Spurs before he went to Derby on a better deal. I'm an Arsenal fan. Does that mean you'd rather I played for the Club than say Podolski? I don't care whether Frimpong is an Arsenal fan. He's not good enough for us at the moment. We need world class players to compete for the title, not loud-mouths who clatter into challenges and get themselves injured and sent off.

Anyway, back to the useless fucker that is Song, this will be the best bit of business ever and I may even doff my cap at Wenger at this deal... please, please let this deal be true..
Why are the AKB's coming around to anything? By definition of Arsene Knows Best, it was Wenger's decision to sell Song, therefore AKB's are not changing their opinion merely supporting their belief that Arsene Know's Best

I dont know
but it would be at least untoward, definitely a betrayal, probably illegal and selling RVP would be unlikely to impact the share price
find it bizarre that alleged Arsenal fans would want to make up and disseminate such ill-judged accusations against our manager
a man who has shown nothing but honour and integrity in all his business dealings

glad to see the buffoon Baba's idiotic claim that our manager is a criminal has been removed
cant see the point in another ignoramous wandering down that gardenpath

If we sell Song we won't buy anyone else :roll:

We do not compete for the league anymore, we are a top 4 team at best, 6th at worst.

We are a selling club but yet....

We are not skint but collectively our club has decided money in the bank is better than players on the pitch.

Some of us love the manager(still???!!!), some of us hate the manager(with some justification) and I think the majority are in the middle, still have some respect for the manager but think loss of Dein, the new f'ed up club structure and lack of a proper no. 2 to AW mean it might be time for AW to leave as dignifiedly as possible.

Regardless of what we all think though, we all agree on one thing and that is that Babashabarabaflaba is a filthy trolling scum fan :evil:

I think top 4 at best is harsh,
we were 3rd last year - one of Chavski or the Mancs might blow up again
if all 3 of our signings + a 4th mid was excellent (huge stretch but newbies hit the ground running in '98) we could do better than that...

queue all hope being crushed by another tragic start...

Not really, the entire chav squad going on strike for half the season and the scum being bigger bottlers than Diageo is why we got 3rd.

I see our front 3 getting 30-40 goals btw them so unless the Ox,Gervinho,Mikel and Rambo find their shooting boots again I think 4th/5th this season.

The thing that makes me chuckle is how the AKB argument has evolved over the last few years. Give it a couple more seasons and we'll be told that coming 5th or 6th is a great return. The only constant in the AKB line of thinking is that there will "jam tomorrow". It's the only thing that can't be dis-proved. Afterall no-one can predict the future. It does make me wonder why Wenger is revered so much. Yes he has won us loads of pots but take yourself away from Arsenal FC and a lot of fans ridicule him and think he's finished. The only fans of the oppo who rate him are fans of Clubs in the lower leagues and in the lower rungs of the Premier League. Of course they would love to have him. Any top Club would show him the door after 2 seasons of winning nowt, let alone 7. The best point made on here recently is that the AKB will not change their tune, just the reasons for defending their position. Afterall Arsene Knows Best. That is constant. He will always know best, whatever happens. It will always be someone else's fault when he fails.

I think ManUre are a few bad results away from fan mutiny, RVP is injury prone, Rooneys form has been patchy...
*clutches at straws*

Ox will score goals
for some bizarre reason (hasn't done it at all so far) I think Jack will as well

textbook strawman BS, are you Babs in disguise?
why disagree with what people say when you can make up their imaginary points of view.

Par for us is CL, we might not be top 4 in terms of wage bill (not sure where are Liverpool now)
but never heard ANYBODY suggest missing out on it is "great"
your suggestion is untrue and idiotic
keep up the good work

I an see a 6th/7th placee finish this year. We're not going to score enough goals. Too many new faces, not enough experience together as a team. Wenger will leave for an international job. It'll be the end of an era.

We're nowhere near as bad as the start of last year. I think we'll finish 4th.
