If you look at the Swiss Rumble guy the so-called commercial expertise Kronke is being paid for is

[Mo Britain less Europe]

crap. Brand Arsenal is undervalued in the agreements they've signed.

[Classic Jorge]

Not that I'm defending the weekend-at-bernie's looking f**ker but there was a certain expediency to our last round of deals (emirates/nike) and our most recent deals were pretty groundbreaking before being trumped by the always commercially excellent united.

Also, the graphs did show a steady improvement in commercial revenue and I think we are improving.

I do wish we could find more official south-east asia corn snack partners though.

We got handsome deals from memory from Puma for example. Of course we were then outstripped by other clubs in their own subsequent deals however those clubs are bigger than us, so their deals follow in this respect.

the other clubs, some of which are definitely well below us in image recognition.

Who are the perceived smaller clubs against whom we seem to be struggling in comparison?

“funds generated by the business are available for further investment into the club with the aim of achieving an increased level of on-field success, which ultimately translates into the winning of trophies.”

would that they moved past making said funds available and insisted on the investment and following aims being implemented and met.

Now I fully understand no one club has any divine right to win anything however much they spend, or otherwise, but lets see a better effort in getting a credible striker than we've seen to date.

Arsene, we're giving you and your players buckets full of cash, how about a serious title challenge?

[Classic Jorge]

We have the money, he knows we have the money, he's just not seen someone who he thinks represents the value for that money.

I'm not having Benteke!

Unless you count Remedial Falcao on loan

wife wants a new Porsche; to paraphrase George, you have the money, she knows you have the money, yet SUVs do not represent value for that money (certainly not ones made by Porsche) but you still have to buy it for her anyway.

The latter would have been an upgrade on the tortoise and the hare

Is how many, and maybe whom, did Wenger try to sign or enquire about.

Footballers only really become available when a buying club makes an offer deemed suitable to all parties.

[redgunamo]

enough so far as the sort of people who don't fancy doing their own workings are concerned?

His assumptions, assuming he has made some, are his own.

...what has Stan Kroenke ever done for us?!

[redgunamo]

That's the trouble with numbers; they can deliberately deceive with a straight face much better than mere words can.

[Ashberto]

but not all of our womenfolk insist that we buy them Porsches. Or anything, come to that, beyond a thoughtful trinket or so at the usual festivities.

[Ashberto]

More creative than music, painting and literature combined.

[PSRB]

Giroud is on a par if not better than them

[Ashberto]

I expect he spends his free time helping old ladies cross the road. Bargain, imo.

[redgunamo]

Think of us fans as a dolly bird second wife.

[Ashberto]

How are the preparations for the coup going, btw? Everything in place for when the Corbster sweeps to victory?

[Ashberto]

Following on from the 'Statue of Limitations', you're on a roll.

We like lefties in charge, of course. We get far more leeway for mayhe .. to pursue the national interest.

Notice how under Bush the Warmonger, we had to send suspects on holidays to the Caribbean, whereas under Nobel Peace Prize-winner Obama we can just double-tap drone them in their beds and/or homes?
