their combined points tally from the past 2 seasons is not enough to save them from relegation in any of the Premier League seasons to date they should be banned from coming back up
It's got to be Newcastle "We're a big club but we haven't actually won anything, ever, but we are all convinced that we are as big as Man U" United Or Manchester "Hi, my names Tarquin and I live in Surrey, I've never been to a football match but I hope that mummy lets the nanny take my one day" United. Can't think why
That's not true no team buys the league, but you're second point is also uncorrect. Newcastle sign some good players they just have a habit of selling most of their good players. Big Club my backside.
everyone who wins the league buys it, to some extent. I laugh when Man U fans accuse Chelsea of it, when they have spent 30m on Ferdinand, 20m on Van Horse, 25m on Rooney etc, but if you are a fan of any team outside of the top four, you don't have their buying power which prevents you from competing. Newcastle do sign some very good players, they just turn them into rubbish ones
I just can't decide!! View attachment 2429 I do know that I will never hate Liverpool. .............. emm? come to think of it..... I only hate Spurs, Man U & Chelsea
Arsenal. Why? Manager: Arsene Wenger (foreigner) Jens Lehmann (foreigner) Abou Diaby (foreigner) Cesc Fabregas (foreigner) Kolo Toure (foreigner) Phillippe Senderos (foreigner) Tomas Rosicky (foreigner) Fredrik Ljunberg (foreigner) Julio Baptista (foreigner) William Gallas (foreigner) Robin Van Persie (foreigner) Lauren (foreigner) Aliaksandre Hleb (foreigner) Thierry Henry (foreigner) Mathieu Flamini (foreigner) Alexandre Song (foreigner) Gilberto Silva (foreigner) Johan Djourou (foreigner) Mart Poom (foreigner) Gael Clichy (foreigner) Manuel Almunia (foreigner) Emmanuel Adebayor (foreigner) Emmanuel Eboue (foreigner) Jeremie Aliadere (foreigner) (on load) Sebastian Larsson (foreigner) Niclas Bendtner (foreigner) Arturo Lupoli (foreigner) Antheny Strokes (foreigner) Vito Mannone (foreigner) Jose Antonio Reyes (foreigner) Carlos Vela (foreigner) So that's their first team players and reserves..... Let's have a look at their youth players Vito Mannone (foreigner) Giorgps Efrem (foreigner) Arman Traore (foreigner) Carl Pariso (foreigner) Vincent Van Den Berg (foreigner) Francisco Merida Perez (foreigner) Nacar Barazite (foreigner) Abu Ogogo (foreigner) Peggy Lokando (foreigner) Wojciech Szczesny (foreigner) And Arsenal fans are wondering why they do better in Europe than the Premiership. No wonder Ashley Cole left.
Even though Liverpool are the team I enjoy beating over and above all others; Leeds United are the team I despise the most. The reasons are manifold, but the little-England mentality displayed by a proportion of their supporters stands uppermost in my mind. Fcuk them - may they never return to the top flight.
A fair proportion of them are parochial hicks, Matt, judging from my own (and fellow United fans) experiences with them. I'm sure we have our own fans like that, but then I'm sure your lot do too, so I can't understand why it's "delicious". I stand by my original statement.
Well, I think you'll find if you were to ask the assembled hordes of football fans across the nation about which clubs they most associated with parochial northern hickery, then Leeds would not be the only "United" that stood proud of that list. Hence, the utter tastiness of your little contribution here.
Have you ever thought for a minute that it might not be about me actually hating foreigners? Arsenal are part of whats wrong with football nowadays.
That's an absurd perspective. Arsenal clearly are an unwelcome and unwarranted extreme that can rightly be criticised for their approach to fostering talent in this country. It's got nothing to do with English talent being undertalented or overpriced - other clubs manage quite comfortably, Arsenal have undeniably taken an insupportable decision not to even try. That said, they are an extreme, so it's not the end of the world.
Player A is equally skilled as Player B Player A costs 5 million and player B costs 10 million and is English it seems as though you want Arsenal to buy player B just so they could say they have an englishman
I don't "want" Arsenal to do anything - who's got the time? I'm just saying that it's all a bit King Canute to try and pretend that Arsenal are not an extreme example of precisely the problem that Pigs was alluding to. It's not about buying, for a start, it's about developing. Having an entirely foreign first eleven is no longer astonishing (thanks almost entirely to Arsenal's trend-setting insistence on not having one), but having an entirely foreign youth team? The world will keep on turning, like, but let's not pretend there's nothing regrettable in Arsenal's current direction.
