The Football.....

[StuAff]

Hey, don't tar all of us Gooners with the same brush...

No one has a God-given right to win or to do well. We've been very, very fortunate for the last two decades. I'm over the moon we've won a third FA cup in four years. Am savouring every minute. And I want to whack the moaning twonks over the head with something big and heavy because they don't know a good thing when they see it. They do my head in too.

Love the fact that the club *is* financially stable, because let's face it, the over-spending of the clubs around us on players and wages just isn't sustainable in the long term. That bubble will burst.

P.S. Am Gooner born and bred, not a "plastic fan" xxx

Yup, you're not all like P****s M****n.......!

van der Sar rates him , and Mourino shown interest as a replacement for de Gea ,
So , a young player , loads of potential ,, has Champions League experience ,I am optimistic ,
But we will see , this time next year
Could be interesting ,

Someone should be snapping up Jordan Pickford from the Mackems. Would be a crime for him to be plying his trade in the championship next season.

I'm cheering for Huddersfield at the mo.

Reading have been up and down quite a lot over the last few years, so I'd like to see Huddersfield have a go in the PL.

Spot on.

Arsenal are a model of how a football club should be run, and they are lucky to have a manager who cares about the club rather than some Carlos Le Coach who will come in for a few years, put the club up to their eyeballs in debt and then bugger off leaving someone else to clear up the mess.

Yeah, like David O'Leary (ex Arsenal ) did at Leeds.

Well, 0-0 after 120 minutes of pretty dull football, but Huddersfield took it on penalties.

Neither team looked like Premier League standard, and I'd put money on Huddersfield getting relegated after just one season. But I'm pleased for the fans. The last time they were in the top flight was in the early '70s.

Yep, indeed. Just wish the FFP rules weren't a such a joke...

Arsenal do seem to be ok on the finance front but I am puzzled re your wages comment.

Ask any Town fan and they'll say "We don't care, we're gonna enjoy our time in the top flight. Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Utd and City and Chelsea. Yeah, we'll no doubt get beaten. I do think there are teams in the lower echelons who are beatable though.
One benefit for us is the fact we'll be watching Premier League footie clutching our £199 season tickets.
What a terrific decision by the club to make this offer earlier on before the end of the season.
At Huddersfield, the fans are respected and catered for. A lot of the big boys could learn a thing or two from us.

I recall Bradford City's first season, am almighty struggle with us staying up on the last day, it was very enjoyable. The second season was utter misery as nothing was new, the grounds or getting stuffed most weeks. I'd rather watch us in div 3 than struggle like Sunderland did, year after year.

It's different now, Town will have money to out pay many giant clubs on the continent, use it wisely and I can't see why cannot compete like Burnley & Bournemouth have?

I'm glad it was you lot and not Reading. I thought at one point you were going to pip us for 2nd place but you fell apart temporarily at the right point!
We'll struggle next year too but hey ho.

But, don't forget... it's the global reach and pulling power of the 'big boys' that's going to make your club richer than it ever has been.
