Are Aresenal real contenders now? For me they are. I was really critical of Arteta but got to admit hes doing a good job.

I did say in general!

But the previous January we used the loan market to great affect. If they really wanted to help Robins get to the EPL then surely they could have gone down that route again? And in general, our loans have been fairly decent since Robins came back where as in the days of Jansen et al they were...

As many of us said last winter, we weren't advocating spanking 10 million but we could have used the loan market. The drop off was wholly predictable, the squad looked knackered and we had a bench with players on that Robins clearly would only use as a last resort.

But we could have used the loan market as we did the previous January so not giving us any financial commitments beyond the end of the season.

Well they supported Robins more in the previous January with Vik, James etc, (I've said many times I think James was a huge factor in us getting out of trouble), so maybe you're right.

Ofcourse they want PL money, but they want to fluke it, they don't actually want to support the manager to facilitate it. If they did they'd have allowed Robins to have bought in more additions in January when we were in around the play offsbutclearly being hampered having a paper thin squad.

Wasn't the last time they actually took money out of the club when we were in L1?

It could be an 80 year old woman behind that account for all you know mate! But it's a nice autumn day, enjoy a stroll around Coombe and forget about it.

You fucking lunatic Bugsy, that's made my day.

Why? It pretty much sums them up. Hopefully they don't playing stupid if/when Ashley does bid for the club, take what's on offer and go. They won't win a fight with him.

We also bring nearly 500k in footfall per season and give the place great free publicity when we're on sky etc.

I've never really thought about how fast, or slow, he is. Going to watch that over the next couple of games.

Good point

Sheaf just isn't consistent enough, I've been saying it for ages. If he can add that then he can go as far, if not further than the 'big 3'. And that's a valid criticism as far as I'm concerned it's not turning on anyone. But then again, if he was,like if Vik was a better finisher, like if...

The morals of Alan Bastard and the cunning of Mr. Bean.

Sir Gavin please Tony

At Ansty apparently.

Where does the American bloke and the 49/51 percent model you posted about fit into all this?
