As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
The Scum are not a real London club, they have never won the English Football League Championship as a London club, they were in County Middlesex until 1965!
They also come from a swamp, their first stadium was in Marsh Lane, the area is a shitehole & the the inbred locals burnt their neighbourhood down. The place needs flooding again & it will soon happen, due to more global warming!
The River Lea & the lakes & marshes, canals and reservoirs will all overflow, drown the Toilet Lids ground & the debris will float down the river & destroy the Essex mockney spammers stadium downstream!
so now that scum club will be bought by some mega rich fella
I think the days of buying a top flight club and pumping money in are going out of fashion. Unless you're a sovereign wealth fund like the Saudis or Man shitty lot, there's no point because you're not going to stand a chance. Public opinion has also turned against individual owners and it's harder for one owner to provide evidence of their money coming from legal sources than it is for a national wealth fund. There aren't many of the mega wealthy funds left and the money it has cost City and will cost the headchoppers to compete are astronomical. Loom at the money wasted in Paris for absolutely fuck all in reality.
The next stage of ownership is going to be buying a club down the divisions and getting the ego trip and attention that goes with it. Wealthy owners are going to start targeting clubs with decent fan bases in the second or third tier where the initial costs are lower and the impact more immediate. Pouring money into the scum is worthless in so many ways.
The lad that wants to buy Man Utd could go for the spuds now.
Frightening thought
Those were my thoughts exactly IW8. They are prime to be picked up by super rich Arabs or the like and I don't share the view of others that the days of that happening are over. It's only about 18 months ago that the Saudis bought the bar codes isn't it?
The scum are a London club and a state of the art stadium is in place. Very attractive to people looking for a club to buy.
I was always happy with Lewis owning it and Levy running it, because I knew they'd remain in their state of nothingness. My concern, knowing that Lewis was old, was what would happen when he was gone, or decided to sell up. I'm worried.
Not so sure that and Arab individual or SWF would touch them given there 'jewishness' and revelling in in (nothing wrong with thay and we are as equally Jewish in fan demographics I'm sure) but we do make a thing of it and imagine some of their fans would make an outcry, whilst others would be delighted to simply have a owner who will spend stupid money, Same with us, but with them feels a bit different given the history between Muslim owners and Judaism.
Should matter as its a modern world but I think that may limit who buys them, or maybe I'm clinging to that as thrbjope they don't get bought out by some sheikh.
Hopefully none of the above is considered racialist as its all based on historical antipathy/fact.
Not sure who else is out their spending big bucks as china seem to have wound back massively in this type of thing
On a side note the *word censored* hadn't yet added the 'trophy they unashamedly celebrated with the other day from beating the sunny boy sailors/longshoreman or whatever they were called, to their other honors list on there site yet to go along with the audi Cup, and upswich hospital cup (shared)
And they have the temerity to claim to be a big club and their fans moan about where there were last season. Whenever I say villa and Everton fans have far bigger gripes to complain about not doing well recently as they are far bigger clubs given their honors none of the *word censored* accept it, yet its cold hard facts.
Scum have no history of being a successful club bar the odd anomalous successful year yet their fans won't accept that.
I thinks that's why they are hated so much by all their London 'rivals' the delusion...I mean we don't like chavs, shammers etc, but the thing we have in common is we all hate the scum most.
I'm currently working with a guy that left the spuds finance team last week. He was a contractor there for 18 months and walked last week when the financial irregularity news broke. He told me yesterday that there is definitely irregular activity within their finances and he quit so that he doesn't get tarnished by any future fallout, should the journalists get to the truth.
He also said that the Kane to Bayern story is greatly exaggerated as there's been almost no discussion between the clubs yet. It's been whipped up by the club to try and inflate his transfer fee should United want to come in for him again. Having said that, Bayern asked about his availability in June and a deal might eventually happen but it is in Kane's hands. Apparently he thinks that playing abroad will affect his England career. The final thing he said was that the culture at Totteringham is "What Harry wants, Harry gets".

That prick O'Hara saying that they are back to their best
*word censored* have an easy run of it until the NLD
BBC right up there already re maddison. Wait till mid season when hes tired and lost interest as he does every season.
Should have lost to brentford, should have been 2 or 3 down at halftime against an awful united (and united denied stonewall penalty that would have changed the game completely), and Bournemouth should have scored a couple against them too.
O hara said the same when they appointed Conte, telling everyone we should be afraid cos spurs were back,he's a fucking moron and if he had a brain cell it would be lonely,no doubt there will be a few on here who think they will finish above us
