Arsenal are shit, always have been shit and always will be shit!
Sorry for the reality check there Spork but reading "The illustrated history of Arsenal FC's successes" would take less time than it would take to read "Glorious French Military Victories" :p

Good win for the pool this morning but one has to ask, WTF Man city?

Interesting news Re: Arsenal Takeover.

It's impossible not to feel a sense of sadness; regardless of the fact that essentially the club has been in foreign hands for a couple of years now, it's always seemed the plurality of ownership and the long tradition of being owned by English families and fans, for me, was part of the reason for my initial love affair. The last of the 'large' English clubs to be so, really.

I suppose though that this is the modern world, and all that shit. I also suppose than it's better Kronke, than it would be Usmanov. Look at Chelsea, and the hideous puppets they have become. Disgusting stuff, makes you ill really.

Or look at Manchester United, and the inevitable collapse of their club sooner or later. That combined with the strange, subhuman like trolls that attend their matches is as much of a warning as anything that Sugar-Daddy ownership is not always a good thing.

Or lets cast our eyes to the slums of Liverpool, and the strange squeaking goblins that support them and their American owner. Let us hope our lot is not as fatal as theirs, and also, that we never, ever, sound like them.

Well, now we're all whores really. I just hope our fucking is gentle and we get a nice massaged reach-around. That'd appear to be the case. Regardless, I am certain that we will continue to act with the class, dignity and élan that is so noticeably lacking from the three clubs mentioned above. Looking, smelling, sounding, or being like them in anyway would be the real tragedy.

Trolls & Goblins? really? It is true that Arsenal fans believe in fairy tales then.... I suppose they must do given Sporks comments about them becoming a great club :p

The only people that don't think Arsenal are a great club, are people with so many extra chromosomes they eat them every morning as cereal, and people from Hull.

One word to many in that sentence.

I love you Sturridge!

Torres < You.

[henno]

Looking good  at OT 2- 1 (3-1 agg)  cannot believe Sky has this delayed and not live

quote from BBC match tracker
 Man Utd totally bossing this now, the life sucked out of Chelsea like a popped  balloon following that Park Ji-sung strike.

Another great game for Torres subbed off at half time Drogba comes on and iis a threat straight away and gets a goal.

[JuDgE MenTaL]

Oh well, season over and no big surprise really. Very close end to end stuff by the sounds, 1 away goal from going through on 77 minutes then all killed off a minute later. Also, can't believe ESPN got it so wrong as to which game to show live in NZ anyway.

Well done Reds, good luck beating Barca...

@Henno, agree never would have started with Torres, and if I had Benayon would have started too. Should have been Drogs and Anelka.

Carlo, down the road probably even though he wasn't to blame for everything.

Drogbas finish was class, Chelsea was up for it today, but i think overall Man U deserved it. Schalke (presumably) in the semis will be interesting, and Barca/Real in the final will be tough....

[kilabee]

@ Judge .
ESPN gets it wrong on their coverage every time

[Spork]

Yea, they did the same thing in Aus for one of Arsenal's last matches - can't remember which one but one was delayed while there was another game live with two teams whom are no where near as big as Arsenal.

[kilabee]

Only thing I cared about this week was the reaming City took @ the hands of the mighty Liverpool.

[Spork]

I really don't know who I want to win out of the upcoming City Spurs match.

Anyway, more important news.

I was not aware that there was interest, however THIS is how you deal with transfer rumours.

Oh I think I remember that one Spork, to be fair I would show Ipswich Vs Notts Forrest over Arsenal any day!
