Lol

Worse than Rafa confirmed.

Can you blame the referee in your post-game conference?

No, I let Newton do all those bad things. Plus, it wasn't the ref fault.

We were so shit that we can't even blame the ref. Somebody, anybody, shoot me.

 

[TrueBlue]

AVB lasted 27 games as Chelsea manager.

Moved above them in his 27th game with Spurs today.

AVB <3

I feel a grudging happiness for him.

Love a good MNF.

Going out again tonight. Vikings.

Barca-GAF, Madrid-GAF!! Tomorrow it's happening, the magnificent El Clasico. I'm hoping for a great match to remember regardless of the winner, very excited about it! Are we ready for it? Are we ready for FootballFan's Madrid-trolling? Are we ready for Pulga's Barca-hatred? Are we ready for keit4's tears? Tune in tomorrow to see!

Madrid-trolling? I just state facts.

Keit4 doesn't support Barca, he hates Madrid. And who can blame him?

 

[Salazar]

Ivanovic was pretty fucking embarrassingly passive for Tevez's goal.

 

[FootballFan]

I'm sure he's looking forward to lengthy dressing room debates over wearing underpants with anti-Mourinho slogans on them.

LOOOOOOOOL

Cristiano "Hey Bale, why the fuk you taking my freekick in 32 minute?"

Bale "Hola, it was 40 metres away you already took 4 that flew all the way to Ramos' penalty"

Cristiano post match "Im sad and Bale knows why"

*Marcelo wears cr7 socks in next game in support*

 

[Yurt]

At least Ronaldo tells the whole fucking world he's sad, not send his coach an emo text about Ibra.

AM I RIGHT PULGA?

 

[Conor 419]

Bale is underrated.

 

[Zabojnik]

Holy shit at the Movimento 5 Stelle votes in Italy. This is incredible. I watched Grillo perform his comic routine about a year ago at the casino, now he's the leader of Italy's largest party, if I'm reading the numbers right. TheLucifer, congrats, I guess. It could've happened only in Italy.

Zabojnik, sort Yurt out.

Anyways, it's the coach you should be talking to. Giovinvo not being happy with game time and going to talk to the press about it instead of Conte would be idiotic lol.

 

[Kyoufu]

AVB is a shit manager who is riding Bale's form.

 

[xintin]

so I leave for class at HT, Bale scores an excellent winner, Spurs up to 3rd, and I get rear-ended by some lady who wasnt paying attention while driving.

seems legit.

 

[Zabojnik]

Zabojnik, sort Yurt out.

We seem to have inverted the roles somehow, lol. Reading those Celtic-Juve pages did something to him. YURTTTTT <3

If spurs get the result against us we won't be able to catch them so next week will be very very important for arsenal.

It's a must win. We need to stop the Spur's momentum.

But I didn't vote for him

I did in 2008, but that was different (and I was younger/even dumber. Although, after tonight, I'm not so sure).

At least he's not Berlusconi, right? Right? Zab? Are you still there?

 

[feel]

Fucking hell I had to leave and turns out I missed out on a last minute Bale screamer plus AVB awesomeness... Fuuuuuuuuuu

Right now he is great and impressing me a whole lot, fantastic player. If he goes to Real Madrid he will become Di Maria/Callejon/Pedro Leon(who?)/Canales.

As if Ronaldo would let anyone steal his spotlight..

Not 3 days ago he got in front of goal and passed it go Higuain for the winner. He just wants his team to win.

 

[Suen]

Not one mention of me

That's because you are a Barca-fan with a kind soul.....

Madrid-trolling? I just state facts.

Keit4 doesn't support Barca, he hates Madrid. And who can blame him?

...unlike this biased blue-red demon. I know keit4 doesn't support Barca but through my time as a lurker until almost today you'd believe he support Barca more than La Coruna. Also his passion for Madrid is something to admire

Spoiler

FootballFan you're still awesome!

 

[Salvadora]

I hate the "one man team" argument. There are players who would make any team look like that.

You have absolutely no reason to think that.

Football fans are so fucking stupid. They'll make up an entire personality just to go along with what they want to believe.

Arsenal had that one man.

But they sold him.

Yes every team has one, except Arsenal

 

[Salvadora]

Arsenal had Robin Van Persie whilst people were calling Cesc our one man team. They don't know a thing.

[dc89]

Fuck Levante. But I can't be too pissed with £33 from £5 in a day or so.

Tomorrow. El Classico. And plenty of opportunity to make money.

 

[Meier]

I love AVB but am so jealous of how handsome and rich he is. Not to mention that he isn't that much older than me either.. bastard.

 

[Suen]

To be fair he has shared with him quite a bit this season and passed the ball many times to other players when he could have just taken the chance for himself. That doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't want most goals for himself (or the opposite). Still he has a childish attitude when...things don't go his way, probably the biggest reason why I'm not a big fan of him.

Arsenal half year profits dip to £17.8m

The club made almost £50m for the same period a year ago.

Despite the profits fall, cash reserves rose to £123m from £115m.

Profit from trading players was £23.2m, compared with £46.1m for the same period a year ago.

Robin van Persie was sold to Manchester United, with players including Lukas Podolski, Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud joining the squad.

Arsenal's chairman, Peter Hill-Wood, defended the club's strategy.

He said: "Our ability to compete at the top of the game here and in Europe is underpinned by our financial performance which gives the club strength and independence.

"We know that comes through winning trophies but also through the way we do things and that will remain our constant guide."

A worrying sign. How the fuck will we make money when there are no more players to sell?

Imagine how us in the 20's feel when we see rich players around our age, they get all that money while we are stuck in our damn student debts :/

Your revenues are up significantly next year.

 

[Salvadora]

Your revenues are up significantly next year.

The lack of profits is a bit perplexing, is it not? We sold RVP/Song and bought Giroud/Cazorla/Podolski. It looks like if we didn't sell players we wouldn't make money at all (I know about the increased TV money, but still). I thought Arsenal must be raking in the money.

 

[Wes]

Remember the good old days when Spurs never won if Bale played?

Well these are half year accounts so that's worth taking note of.

But yes, Arsenal don't seem to make as much money as people expected they do and that cash balance seems to be mainly because of the property sales rather than regular income.

I had a quick look at the results before and noticed that the "other" costs are always quite high. Since they aren't outlined there's no way of knowing what they are but it seems the club is spending alot of money on things other than just wages.

In general these results are confusing though. Arsenal are still owed £30m in transfer fees apparently. I don't know if this takes that into account or not. If it doesn't than that's a hefty wedge.

[kingellesar]

If spurs get the result against us we won't be able to catch them so next week will be very very important for arsenal.

Right lets start the NLD chat early.

Tell me, would you take a draw right now?

The way I see it, Arsenal need to get the win knowing we would then go to Anfield whilst they take on Everton at home, meaning if Arsenal beat us, they could be above us the following weekend whilst also pretty much knocking Everton out of the picture at the same time.

At the moment it's ours to lose but we also need to remember Chelsea also need to start picking up results, it could very well be a Tottenham and Arsenal top four finish.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

That fucking Bale

I was laughing my ass off at the 2-2 though. The hell was going on

Not only do we sell players below market value, we also make shit deals that leave us waiting for the money. We really need a Levy-esque negotiator.

 

[K1LLER7]

So Lowendowski has made a decision on his future. If he only spends 2 years at a club and then leaves, I wouldn't take him.

But Dat Kagawa-Lewendowski Combo.

I'd take a draw. United aside, our run in mostly consists of games that we are more than capable of taking something from. Plus, I am confident that Chelsea will not make top 4 if they stick with Benitez. Also, Spurs and Chelsea are far more likely to go further in Europe, while Arsenal's European campaign is, as usual, basically over before it even began.

Haha, that's the moment I referenced earlier. Right before that you could hear a "Woohoo, yes!" or something. Pretty funny.

AVB is my beard and style icon.

Image of the season: Bale embracing AVB.

He's world class.

Can't even hate. Wish him all the best.

Didn't we spend the RVP and Song money on Cazorla, Giroud and Podolski?

I don't see how this is player sales this profit. Maybe wages from all the fringe players we let go in the summer?

Swansea at Liberty stadium is going to be a banana skin game for us. It comes 3 days after our Germany trip to Bayern Munich and 6-7 days after our match against Everton. Can't see us winning it bar a huge huge effort.

Indeed, that is the problem, Arsenal have a much easier run in. Our run in looks fucking horrible next month before a horrible April.

April we have Everton H, Chelsea A and City H. ...ouch :/

Plus as you say, us and Chelsea could be playing every 3/4 days if we continue in Europe.
