Nice interview of Alan Davies as an Arsenal fan. It's from the sun though But he voices a bit that annoys me most about Wenger as well and that is not the transfer policy but rather:

’m frustrated by the wage policy, I’m frustrated large sums of money going on players who give little or no contribution to the first team and I’m frustrated that when a player reaches a value of £25-30m it means they are worth wages that we won’t pay.

We should be paying them what they’re worth and the players down the pecking order should not be earning as much. We’ve had this policy of equality across the wage bill and it doesn’t work.




The "socialist wage structure" or whatever they call it, is indeed terrible, but I believe it's a thing of the past now. Those guys will be gone in a few years and if these first few days of the transfer window are any indication, Wenger is going to stop settling for average players.


Indeed the first signs seem good. It will be great to see Arsenal back as legitimate title contenders.

That's why we got the Ballon d'Or thingie, where two big guys of each country vote for it. And Messi won the last 4 in a row lol.

If anyone thinks it's all about merchandising and he didn't deserve it, whatever. I actually thought one had to be for Xavi.


I think the only year you can really make an argument for someone else is 2010, for Wesley Sneijder.


Time kinda proved Messi was the right pick tho

It was that same year that Xavi deserved it IMO. He won the WCup with Spain iirc.

Barça has pretty much already accepted the fact that Thiago Alcántara is leaving to ManU. Grats for one of the greatest signs in the past years to them.

Also catalan newspaper saying they might trade Villa + 25M for Rooney. Holy crap we are bad at this. Meanwhile Madrid is gonna sell Higuaín to Juve for 27M.


Higuain has signed for Arsenal dude xD
3 year contract

I'm so excited :D

How so? The prize is for the best performance of the year right anything that comes after jt shouldn't matter. And yeh atleast Sneijder or someone from Spain should have gotten that one.

Roberto Carlos deserves to be on that list for sure. So fast and his free kicks.. so nasty. I see him whenever I see Marcelo or Dani Alves play.

Spanish media are saying Luis Suarez is going to Chelsea.... for 40million.... I don't even...
Maybe they are using Ivanovic as bait.

Still better than collapsing in the middle of the field and having millions of people watch you die live on television because you kept on playing with a heart condition

Yeah, and Ivan Gazidis says that the club can become a super club like Bayern in the future. Kind of an exciting time to be an Arsenal supporter

But to be that level you NEED to win things, to keep sponsers happy and more money coming into the club. If you continue to fall at the final hurdle there is only a certain level you can get to, and it wont be Bayerns in term of financial power ;_:

Exiting time in general for English football. Arsenal, Chelsea, and both the Manchester teams will be looking at the title, while Spurs and Liverpool hope for a champions league spot.
The two Welsh teams are interesting for me, I kinda feel like the time has come for a merger of all the British leagues. Scottish football is on life support at the moment even before Rangers fell into the 4th tier, it was kinda competitive with the English top tier till about the early 90's so I can see why it would be independent then, but now... and Northern Ireland is...well you know...
I can give an example from my own league, the Yugoslavian first division was the fourth-fifth league in Europe, along with Germany and France. But split it all up... the national teams didn't suffer as much, not that I can say the same for the clubs
