"Alisher Usmanov, Russia's richest man, has sold his remaining stake in Facebook for £338m ($528m) after the social network site saw a sharp recovery in its share price this year.

Usmanov, who has an estimated $18bn (£11.53bn) fortune, sold the last 142m shares he owns through his Mail.ru investment vehicle, equivalent to a 0.6% stake in Facebook. The Russian oligarch bought his Facebook stake originally in 2009 for around $200 million (£128 million).

Usmanov's Facebook share sale comes after the firm's share price managed to recover from a disastrous fall after it originally floated on the stock market last year.

In an initial pricing of $38 a share, Facebook stock dropped by over 50% in the first three months of trading amid accusations that the firm had been overvalued. The move was undermined by technical issues with the trading systems for Nasdaq, where the stock was listed.

Facebook's share price has managed to recover by around 125% in the last 12 months, spurred by its push into the mobile sector. The firm's shares were above $42 on Thursday.

Despite Usmanov selling his Facebook stake through Mail.ru, the Russian billionaire still owns an undisclosed stake in the tech giant through a separate holding called DST Global, a firm which holds shares in Twitter, Spotify and Groupon."

Fucking moaning *word censored* the lot of ya. I really cba to get into a debate into people whose lives must be blighted by misery. Me I will revel in the glory of last sunday for many weeks to come at the spuds expense.

Well, good fucking on ya! Yippee for you!!

But seriously, is your thought process so limited that you can't accept some people could also have loved the win against the Vermin, loved the Ozil signing, but still be unhappy that Wenger hasn't strengthened where we needed it most? Those things aren't mutually exclusive.

How is that having your life "blighted by misery"? It's just being realistic about the situation.

My thought process isn't limited, just fed up of whingeing gooners. Listen to yourselves, go talk to a barnet fans and what they have put up with over the last year having just been relegated and kicked out of their borough. That is a crisis.

I am not an AKB, but ffs get a fucking grip. Get your heads out your backsides and stop embarassing our club with your narrow minded claptrap. Back in the day we had less fans but at least they got behind the team through thick and thin, you lot are a shower. Now at the emirates when things go wrong we've got gooners fighting with each other, sort it out!

There used to be this really nice and reasonably priced place to eat that had many loyal customers. Generation after generation spent many happy times there. It then moved premises and became an expensive and exclusive restaurant in an attempt to attract a more upmarket, affluent type of customer. Sadly they didn’t appear to care if that drove away many of the people who had kept it in business all those years.

However, many of the longstanding customers still wanted to eat there. The problem was the meals they were being served were distinctly average in relation to the extortionate prices and they began to feel their custom was being taken for granted. Complaining was discouraged though as it was seen as unhelpful and embarrassing to the restaurant.

The few that did complain were told to ‘’get a fucking grip’’ as it was pointed out to them that there were people going hungry in the world who would be grateful for any food at all.

That's a true story! Sort of

Spot on. There are millions going through famine in third world countries , but that pain is nothing to that of a barnet fan

Yes its hard work dining at a restaurant that just manages to get in the top four restaurants list especially when two of the other top 4 restaurants are buying top produce that costs them more money than they make,
but dont worry the cost of us moving restaurants is fully under control and profits can now be spent on better produce

Not when the owner is never there and insists on dining elsewhere and not paying attention to what the Maitre De is doing, a maitre de who is delusional and thinks he has the best kitchen staff and waiters in the world, and insists on paying them top wages, even though some of them should be on dishwashers wages and be employed elsewhere....and as for the Chef! ?????

Its a brand new season OBG ,
Smile and hope we get a few more meals like we got on sunday and monday
and you might even start tipping the waiters and complimenting the chef again

[clockender1]

wanger needs to win the league this year for me to rate him again.

he's had money and time.

produce or go.

i'd give Bouldy a go, with Dennis alongside him. 1 practical bloke, 1 smart bloke. both Arsenal.

[Herd]

We don't have a squad that can win the title or the cl ,if we pay attention to them and not bin them off we might get one of the pots.
4th place isn't nailed on either but we can do it especially if we evolve tactics to deal with the park the bus driftnet defence that nearly everyone uses against us at home but that would require a change of direction and Wenger doesn't do that however flamini if he can stay fit has the intelligence and leadership skills to shore up the defence .
At the end of the season ,I want Marco Van Basten with Dennis Berkamp as assistant manager with a view to take the helm after Marco.
None of the above will havppen with the possible exception of the 4th place limbo which will
perpetuate the reign of the Alsace Arsene for a thousand years !

Well I am not a fickle person by nature but..... I'm for him again

I think people are so invested in a negative mindset around here that they can't always see the wood for the trees. Yes i understand the bigger picture arguments but for me a large part of supporting any football club is to just enjoy the positive moments. We've just beaten our most hated rivals and the very next day signed a genuinely world class player. Clear your mind of everything else and just enjoy that for now!
