I reckon I've only ever been angered by 4 football matches.

Oh right, it's clearly a fúcking crisis then.

nice to see you are on message, sc

[SWv2]

You're right of course.

Murdoch, et al is to blame - not the players and agents who are milking it dry.

I was a little surprised there a week or two ago when I read a piece with Carl Jenkinson who was discussing his non-move to Palace. He did not of course lay out the full reasons but did state the issue was not financial.

He did however mention that he had still another 3.5 years on his deal with us, which surprised this reader. Mental arithmetic of 3.5 years lead me to 182 weeks and I hazarded a guess at perhaps £25,000 per week. So I worked out we had committed to paying this chap a further sum of £4.6m in basic salary over a period when it is not impossible to think that he may never kick a first team ball again.

The whole thing is wrong.

I don’t blame him of course, nor the club really.

He can get a lot of arsenal wallpaper with that money.

Oh right, it's clearly a fúcking crisis then.

Our position in the table is not relevant as we have no chance of winning the league, and it is still February.

What is relevant are the appalling performances against big teams in important matches, how often it has happened over the past 5 or 6 years and the lack of real challenges for the league or the CL over the past 11 years. All of those things are terribly relevant and terribly damning.

Good thing is that while people like you may not realizing how damning these things are, there are increasing signs that Wenger does.

A prime example of the third rate, second stringer. Earning millions...





AND the 'Arsenalification' of that bedroom; well, quite remarkable.

Arsenal wallpaper is hard to come by... could be a fash marketing idea here for you

If my kid who is 9 asked for that I would tell him to grow up.

7 times? Apologies, I didn't realise I was conversing with a JCL glory-hunting type

You might be happier going to see Ed Sheeran, I think. He plays some nice pop songs.

It isn't like I am standing there calling for Born in the USA. Just maybe one of his selection of, oooh, 20 odd best songs that he never plays. It amazes me that people like you can stand there and watch Working on the Highway for the 20th time and not at least wonder whether the old **** might consider slipping in Used Cars, or Backstreets, Racing in the Street, Factory, a full band Thunder Road perhaps, something from Joad other than Youngstown...just once.

The live shows have become a little predictable. Still a great night and compared to watching anyone else a great show. Just not as good as it could/should be.

I've read he's on £45k a week.

And you are skipping over the poor performances against average/**** teams, as well as the regular habit of completely failing to turn up at home to Watford.

It isn't just big games against big sides where we let ourselves down. It regularly occurs against rubbish as well.
