The BIG Football Thread

Gareth Bale's goal was fucking out of this world amazing.
Undeserved win for Manchester City.
Lescott and Balotelli should have been off.

What do you know, spot on!

Watching Arsenal - United now, ideal relaxation during my study period
Very glad to see Vermaelen finally back on the pitch, he's a real beast! Him and Kompany are the 2 preferred CB's of Belgium, what a line-up

 

[Satangel]

Sad, very sad.... I like him as a player though, one of my favourites on FIFA, but I sure hope he gets suspended for that.

 

[Sick Wario]

yeah it was poor form balo but at least he wasnt looking down like pepe

undeserved win? only one team attacked throughout and it should have been more

aresenal on the other had are in serious need of a complete rehaul

Oh Mario, you are the King of Banter not stamping. I am disappointed in you.

Yeah, pretty amazing. His stats are incredible, together with CR07 (who also scored 2 yesterday). Still like CR07 more though, his playing style and arrogance is something I can appreciate. I just love athletes who are so cocky and know they are the best, and then prove it. Usain Bolt comes to mind, Mohammed Ali too. Wonderful....

Also rockstar, here's a good video showing one of Messi his favourite moves:

Doesn't seem so hard actually. I'll try it later on, train on it. I'm no where his starting speed though

The Swans have made a loss of over £8 million.

We're doooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddd...until we get paid our fucking Premiership money.

I serously hope this loss against United will make wenger "spend the f*cking money"

 

[emigre]

Arsenal have money?

 

[lufere7]

Arsenal have money?

I suppose, since the club sells like crazy and they only buy cheap youths.

 

[Satangel]

Arsenal have money?

You've got to remember building the Emiretes meant Arsenal have taken a financial hit whilst also having a big wage bill. Than take into account, the club is run properly. It would be a huge help when the FFP rules kick in, at the moment it seems Wenger is willing to put the club trough some austerity for the long term.

Fans like to act dickish regarding spending money though, I know Swansea City fans who think we should spend £8 million on a single player thus ignoring the real economic implications. It's easy to say Arsenal have £70 million to spend but running costs and bonuses will eat up a chuck of that.

It's indeed to easy to say that, but I don't think they don't have about 40 million to spend. It's just a matter of willing to do it, and finding the right player(s).

40 million at best means signing one very good player at one or two good players. The inflation in the transfer market makes it difficult for clubs run on a sound financial structure. And even after transfer fees there's wages as well which could another four million a year per player. It all adds up, in fairness to Arsenal it is difficult for them to compete when the likes of Chelsea and Man City have unlimited money.

teams like Man City and Chelsea have fucked football.


Balotelli charged over 'stamp' on Parker

 

[lufere7]

We may not be in position to spend lots of money, but hell you can't leave the team like it is right now, we don't have full backs, sagna, santos and gibbs are injured and we've lost many points because of that. We could buy a versatile player like vertonghen that plays most of the positions we need and it'll probably be enough until summer. Wenger's obstination is costing him a place for the team in CL (Where a lot of the money he doesn't spend comes from)
