To be fair are you actually going to give any credibility to a table that puts Steve Kean as 7th best manager in the four divisions this year?

Ferguson to BBC on signing van Judas:
My discussions with Arsene were good but long, probably a couple of months. They realised that the lad wanted to leave. It was a matter of negotiating a price with Arsene.
Fucking disgusting to read that. Deep down most knew he wasn't going to stay - apparently at WBA he came back out to give the fans a big farewell. And it's clear to see now (if it wasn't before) that Podolski/Giroud were his replacement(s).

But the fact that Wenger span his usual bullshit and lied for months and as always misled the fans makes him a fraud (yes JD, fraud) of the lowest order. How can he ever say he cares about the fans of the club again? He's just as bad as Gazidis and co, all he cares about is season ticket renewals and covering his own back.

I really don't want to reignite the whole van Judas debate because there's a thread for that and it's been flogged to death but this really fucking riled me.

Have said for a long long time that wenker is the worst hypocritical lying bas***d around - happy to spin the club spiel to try and hoodwink the fans whilst secretly negotiating selling our captain and best player and it is amazing how 7.5m per season can alter a mans focus and priorities isnt it ? :roll: :evil:
Some gobshites would try and have us believe that the board is screwing wenger over but this principled man who is overflowing with integrity still stays there silently ? I will lay my life that old ferguscum would not sit silently at manure if they did not show ambition by buying quality and not selling quality players even if he was on £10m per season :roll: :evil: :evil: :evil: :cussing: :cussing:

Wenger has been using PR speak since 2008, when the Helb-Flamini-Cesc team broke up.

Anyone with half a brain should have worked out that Van Persie was never going to sign a new deal. The signing of Podolski and then especially Le Chapman should have rubber stamped that in everyone's minds if it needed to be.

Does anyone think that our wonderful owner (love you Stan - a true Arsenal man, unlike 'sod off Jabba') would have committed to spending c. €25m or so on those two players without knowing that he had at least as much coming in from the sale of Van Persie?

Over the course of each year under this owner we will never, ever see a 'net investment' in the playing squad in combined transfer fees and wages - not if we qualify every year for the CL, not when the new commercial deals kick in, not if the money from Sky went up 50 fold. The club is run for personal wealth creation. Wenger does a fine job of carrying out Kroenke's wishes whilst Gazidis picks up a salary that is 4x the market level for a CEO in a small to mid cap business (which is what Arsenal is).

They are guilty by association and therefore I don't believe a single word any of them utter when it comes to the 'transfer business' that we're supposedly going to do, whether buying or selling

Still for him here.

Been reading lots of forum and blogs over last few days and have to say that my stance is stronger than it was and I truly believe that both extremes of the debate are something like self perpetuating cancers that will never be cured. There is a middle ground but none so blind as those that can't see I guess.

There's vitriol from both sides toward each other if one cares to search for it; both 'sides' seem to see themselves as the 'reality' and the 'other side' as the 'deluded'. The online community is but a glimpse of a skewed sample I think.

But hey, that's what t'internet's for ain't it?
