Insane


Thank you Sunhi, what a performance by him yesterday!!

Fucking hell, I just saw some of AVB's press conference on SSN, his face while Drogba was speaking was terrifying. It was as if he was trying to melt the brains of every journalist in the room. He's cracking up a bit.

You're cruel Usho :P As most people are towards him at the moment.

He is far from special (at least right now) but the guy is getting pressured due to reasons beyond his control for the most part. At first I put the blame on him for the most part, but now I'm starting to look at the lazy ass dull performances by the players, the kind that you feel where they are not even giving a damn on the pitch, and at this stage I'll have to agree with someone I never agree with - Paul Parker - when he states "players to blame", though he thinks AVB does not deserve any blame - which is obviously stretching it a bit as well.
 
I'm so tempted to get a Vita. But summer clothes, GoT blu ray, Mass Effect 3, Jak trilogy... being a slob is so expensive.

GoT?

:0

You're back?

I left the whole forum thing, gaming-GAF and other sports forum etc to focus more on school for a while. But, I realized I just exchanged the forum time with sitting and staring into a wall. It's not the answer for better focus for me, if anything it just made me perform worse. Plus I feel like I've missed out on every tech and general news for the last 1½ month.

A man with good taste I see :D Going through Mass Effect 2 for the first time (i'm so so late!) and going through the second novel Ascension - very well written!! Plus picked up the Jak trilogy to play through 3 finally. By the time you decide on getting a Vita you'll probably pay less and have more games to pick from, so it's a win-win situation really : D

Jak 3 is great. 2 is my favourite but 3 smoothed out a lot of problems some people had with number 2. The only reason I'm thinking of getting the Vita right now is because of all the memory card/cheap game deals, so the console itself with all those put in ends up at about £170. Be a while before it officially drops to that imo.
 
It's good to have you back Manager. Chappy is a legend! If anyone will have seen how far the clubs come it will be him, he's been there for years and years.

You may have missed the return of Kermit. And his perma-banning.
 
Are you one of those shop keepers that are annoyed when you interrupt their vital facebooking so you can *gasp* pay for things?

Not at all, I love my job. I love customers also :). I only go on gaf when no one is around. Fuck facebook all I want is footballgaf and google image search.
 
One thing I'll never miss about the Western world is the absolutely dreadful service thats standard in every store from a 99c store to the Dior Homme boutique. It's awful. In Japan, shop staff treat you like a god no matter what you're buying.

And thats not including the likes of Denilson/Bendtner and transfer fees. pretty shocking. We pay park 40k a week to stay in the house. what the fuck?
 
So conclusions. Wenger must go based on that wage structure alone. He is demented confirmed.

The propaganda about our 124m wage bill for 10/11 was just that since 30-35m is administrative staff.

Fucking LOL at Squillaci's wages. Djourou...well...

Arsenal's transfer budget always includes player wages. What a fucking crock of shit that is. Furthermore the pitiful 50m budget will only be 5m if we miss CL qualification.

Self-sustaining model? Is it fuck.

Anyone who goes to the stadium is part of the problem. You should not be going there, if you do go there it is your manifest responsibility to let your feelings be known.
 
That wage list makes me wonder how other clubs are paying. I would especially love to see how much Chelsea, Tottenham, A.C. Milan and Real Madrid are spending.
 
That list cannot be true. Arsenal are basically throwing money away. I think that Arsene knows most of those players are shit though. I mean Squillaci was subbed on in the first half against Sunderland then got subbed of at half time, that's how shit he is.

There are no excuses this summer. Arsenal have to spend, have to get rid of the deadwood and have to keep their best players.
 
Key takeaways

1. For all the propaganda from .con about Arsenal being a model club, at present if they do not qualify for the Champions League they will make a £45m loss or greater each year. Football side is break even. They will fail FFP compliance although that means jack shit in the long run.

2. Arsene Wenger is personally responsible for not spending money. Personally responsible for deciding value (transfers + wages). That is the reason they declined a rights issue. He refuses to spend it.

As an aside: RBS have a covenant demanding certain level of re-investment into playing staff, he cirucumvents this convenant by increasing player wages....words fail me.

3. Secondary reason for declining a rights issue: They do not want to work with Usmanov. Lady Nina was removed from the board after she had a starbucks with Usmanov's people.

4. Kroenke not willing to spend because you don't lose your TV rights here unlike in the US.

5. 1,200 shareholders own 3% of the club, Usmanov will get his 30% this summer. He will be required to sign off the books under Premier League rules. He can cause trouble.

6. David Dein spends more time with Arsene Wenger than Gazidis the CEO does. Dein attends every Arsenal match.

Arsene Wenger is the man who is responsible for that set of numbers. It's real.
 
You guys really think that wage list is bad? To me that doesnt look horrible at all. At Liverpool we have at least one midfielder making 100k + per week. Pepe Reina, Dirk Kuyt, Jamie Carragher and Glen Johnson probably all make 80-100k as well. Torres was. Joe Cole was on 100k/wk before we loaned him out. We brought in some affordable players like Carroll and Henderson who are around 50 or 60 per week which is a good start. Adam and Jose Enrique probably cheap as well

If you think a list where the highest earner is 70,000 p/wk is bad, you guys would get explosive diarrhea if you saw City's (and United's would have a few shockers too)
