Has Wenger mentioned any connection with Kane yet??? Whenever a player captures the headlines, Wenger does like to hitch his wagon. Cannot have somebody being a huge success without Wenger claiming to have known about him, seen him at the start of his career, predicted he would become a success, wanted to sign him (the board got in his way).......... just wondering??
Not sure he can claim any without looking a complete *word censored* seeing as Kane was on our books as a youngster and we let him go.

Another from Wenger's amazing eye for talent.

Around 2 or 3 years ago we lost a 3-0 lead in a game at home to Anderlecht. Despite his obvious frustration, Wenger was still gracious enough to share his knowledge and foresight about the opposition after the game. ''People do not realise yet how good this Anderlecht team are'', he said wisely. Tonight Anderlecht lost 3-0 at home to a team from Scotland :roll: :D

From Arseblog....

Stan Kroenke has made a bid to purchase Alisher Usmanov’s shareholding in Arsenal, an offer which is currently under consideration by the Russian business magnate.

Back in May the Financial Times reported that Alisher Usmanov had made a bid to purchase Stan Kroenke’s shareholding in Arsenal.

The billionaire, who currently holds a 30.04% stake, tabled a £1.3bn offer which the American rejected, reaffirming his desire to maintain his own 67% shareholding.

Now, Arseblog News understands that Kroenke has turned the tables, and approached Usmanov two weeks ago with a bid to purchase his shares, a move which would give him more than 97% of the shares in the club.

I'm not sure how true this is because Kroenke is busy funding major vanity schemes in America. Usmanov doesn't need the money but he might be tempted by the chance to team up with his mate at Everton and have real influence who knows. This club is fast heading into the abyss.

If that happens I'm done with the club full stop, Usmanov is our last vestige of hope to prevent a slow death that Kroenke will certainly inflict upon the club if he gains full control, he is doing a good job of killing it with 67% so with 97% it will be a lost cause.

It's weird though, in a way it might be a relief, as they say it is the hope that kills you, if Kroenke gains control at least I can let go and just say "fuck it, Arsenal is done" and move on and try to forget about football as part of my past.

I'm halfway there already. I've numbed the feeling I have towards Arsenal because it was too painful to continue.

If this story is true and it happens then it will be the end of Arsenal for me.

To be honest I've fallen out of love with football altogether because of the way it is now

THe shit thing is, the idiotic fans who have allowed this to happen will just go off and support spurs or chelsea if we slip completely into the abyss and die hard fans like us will be the only one's left lamenting what we had.

I sound like a spoiled child now but there is no other way to say this........

IT IS SO FUCKING UNFAIR!!

FUCK YOU ARSENE & FUCK YOU STAN!!

When I was a kid (70s and 80s) my Dad used to tease me and call us Lucky Arsenal. I used to argue with him saying "No we're not . . . "

But these cup draws we're getting are freakish. I can't recall a team ever getting so many spawny home ties. Two non league teams at home in Rounds 5 & 6 - when did that ever happen????

Wenger's pact with the Devil must be working!!
No more freakish than being drawn against either Bayern or Barca year in year out in the cl :rubchin:

Thats not freakish, its the way the CL competition is set up. Seedings and not allowing teams to play other teams from the same country until the QF means there will always be repeat ties. The FA Cup is more random ... and that's why we can win that one :rubchin: :wink:

No it's still freakish to draw 2 sides from it sometimes whether we came first or second in out group.

Surely getting teams from lower leagues in the early stages of domestic cups is odds on just from sheer numbers, no :rubchin:
