My patience has been wearing thin with the cretins that run Arsenal the new stadium thing is p1ssing me off, I can't beleive how the majority shareholder has said this week that it hasn't affected transfer funds & that Wenger didn't buy anyone because he was happy with the squad but could have if he'd wanted (he must think we're f***ing stupid the diamond dealing ****).
I've just read a report that says over the last 10 years of the Premiership that Arsenal are about the 14th highest net transfer spenders, let's just examine that in case anyone didn't get the full impact of it-Arsenal one of the traditional powerhouses of English football, a club who've reaped the huge financial rewards of Champion's league football for the last 6 years, who've got bigger than average crowds in that time, who get better than average sponsorship, who've get shown on telly more than average & who've won a number of trophies which brings in prize money & more big TV pay days , yes this very same Arsenal have spent less net on transfers not only than our rivals & clubs of a similar size like Liverpool, Newcastle & Chelsea but also Everton, Man City, many more & most outrageously Tottenham.
How do these clubs devoid of success & without CL football find money & we don't?
So really WTF is going on down there with the people running the club?They've lucked out big time getting Wenger but they're just abusing his nouse in the transfer market & eye for a bargain.
But the straw that has broken the camel's back is that I read that there's very real chance that Jermaine Pennant will be sent on loan for 2 months to Leeds, now I don't expect for a moment that this will be to give him a bit more experience & then get him back no this will be with a view to going there permanently.
It's pathetic, I don't know one other Gooner who thinks that Wiltord or Parlour are a better go on the right wing that Pennant.
Look at Man U they buy an 18 year old & a couple of days later he's in the team, we on the other hand block their path with all the same old squad players rather than giving youth it's go.
Pennant's 20 now he's hardly a kid.
Anyway f*** em that's what I say I've got no motivation to be dragged through another emotional roller coaster like last season when we tried to win the title with one hand tied behind our back (Pascal Cygan).
There's a rather good Test match series versus South Africa that has two Tests to go & then there's the rugby world cup in the autumn & then when all that's over maybe I'll refind my enthusiasm for the football but seriously those people that run my club could do with being shot they're a bunch of w******s.
Rant over.
