Your mum likes two tucked in behind.Quote:

Oh, yes. That was very sweet of you. You insulted his giant head, I believe. Meant to thank you for that.Quote:

People were angry when the Yank took over, indeed many threatened there and then to end all associations with the club, some even on here. Some may have done so and good luck to them, others just moved on and accepted the situation for what it is/was, perhaps harbouring a degree of annoyance.
I must admit I used to like it when we were run by a weird mixture of Old Etonians and local Jewish blokes. Losing that with Kroenke's takeover diminished the club somewhat in my affections. This is the first time that his tenure has really bothered me in any way, though.Quote:

I was appalled when Dein got involved with the board. What the hell were we doing? The fellow is little better than a barrow-boy :-(Quote:

Anyway this will all pass I expect, people will still be angry but the ongoing circus around Sanchez will be a godsend to SK as we will remain front and centre in the back pages but for reasons other than animals being killed. We will move from one perceived drama to another, and then if we are really lucky 1-2 of our early matches will go títs up and we move to our almost annual football knicker fit def con one.
As a football club we really are tremendous value.
As per my reply to B just above :nod:Quote:

I think the point which is being missed is that regardless of your views on hunting, this is a big opportunity to disentangle the club from Kronke who is a terrible owner in sporting terms. If it takes allying ourselves with Jezza, so be it. It it takes a little bit of hyprocrisy and hand-wringing, so be it.
The Arsenal is too important to be lost forever to this conehead.
Yes. I think to be honest, my interest in Arsenal was already in decline by then anyway and that rather put it in perspective. I'm not sure I've been to a game since he took over.Quote:

There may even be a campaign to boycott Arsenal games on tv channels, who knows? Lobbying and picketing outside home games by animal rights and other whackos.Quote:

Let's just get on with it, shall we?Quote:

Usmanov is not the only option, m. The club is still an incredibly attractive option and I wouldn't rule out an outside buyer coming in. I am sure Stan would certainly prefer that (or at least competition to push the price up)Quote:
