		<description>Ethan I think you missed my gripe

When I said that I was dissapointed that Arsene did not know about this and that the Arsenal PR machine had failed

I meant regarding the flight not the whole affair. I am not sure if you got the interview over in Thailand, but Nic Bendtner said he was confident that Flamini was staying and boss gave no indication that his player was flying out to Milan an hour or so later</description>

		<description>Plus, Wenger said success can only be measured in time. Okay then. Have it your way:
7 trophies in 12 years not bad. But add up a total of 6 years of not winning anything, no back-2-back titles EVER, no Champions League, 3 league titles in 12 seasons, and no title for 4 seasons, and a trophyless 3 seasons on the bounce.
Overall, shit ratio. Well done Arsene!</description>

		<description>I think Arsenal will make a signing in the next week or so, it will no doubt be Milligan or Makoun who come in to replace Flamini.

So far the summer hasn't even started &#38; we've lost Lehmann &#38; Flamini. Now I'm aware Lehmann was no longer first choice but he did do a job &#38; whichever way you look at it thats 2 players already gone from a very small squad. Its also plainly obvious that more will go.

So if Wenger wanted to increase the squad size by 2 then he already needs 4 players. It just won't happen, well certainly not with quality players anyway. He may buy 2 players &#38; a couple more kids but that doesn't help the squad.</description>

		<description>Personally I hope Flamini fails the medical, then he won't have a club at all. I'm disgusted that a player contracted to Arsenal &#38; being paid by the club until the end of June has been allowed to fly to Italy to complete a medical for another club. That is truly disgusting!!</description>

		<description>Sack Wenger and the board of directors. It is the only way forward if Arsenal are to win trophies. They're both fucking cunts. Lie to the fans. Just because Wenger wants to do it his way and bring on shit kids and basement buys etc. 360 million in debt is a hell of a lot. But not if you put into consideration Highbury being sold, overpriced season tickets, matchday revenue, merchandise etc, new flats being built. Absolute fucking joke. Plus, you pay off for loans with a small amount each month, probably what Arsenal make in one or two home games. Total disgrace and lies. Man United might be in debt, but at least their trophies and success will go a hell of a long way in paying it off. Campbell, Wiltord, Edu, Pires and now Flamini all on a free and gone. A potential of at least 20 million lost inside 3 years due to the way this cunt of a team is being managed and controlled. Might get some anthrax and send it to Arsenal. Kill all the cunts. All spin and lies, just like the government. 25 million on one player nowadays certainly for a big club, should be the equilavent of 7-10 million 5-6 years ago.

Probably why Edelman was booted out because if I recall, he was the one who last year or so, claimed Arsenal were in a fantastic position financially and had 70 odd million to spend if wanted. Hill-Cunt and co, probably thought it blew Wenger's cover and booted him out. In order to protect Wenger on his fucking shit policies and lie about having no money so Wenger has the perfect excuse when they come up short season after season.
Plus, Wenger harps on about our fantastic improvement and points tallie and be better next season. Funny that. Seeing as they just lost a key player (Flamini) on a free transfer who played a key part in that. So in fact, they are actually WEAKER already!

And people defend Wenger (Arsene knows brigade and apologists) stating the board are letting Wenger down in regards to transfer money. Wenger is the fucking man behind it!! He wanted to move to the stadium and do things on the cheap and brainwashed the board to the point they are now BOTH to blame. Wenger wouldn't even spend 100 million if it was all good and wouldn't effect the debt at the club.</description>

		<description>Yea, Wenger has his points but first of all he must get rid of useless &#38; injury prone player’s to make some $$$ to add to whatever the transfer kitty allocation to buy some experience, quality, reliable, strong, skillfull &#38; pacey player’s in addition to the squad left after the offloading is done. We are playing the best football in the world under Sir Arsene Wenger, without doubt. We need to score goal &#38; protect the lead in order to win matches. We need couple of skillfull player’s on th wing too. Eventhough our football is breathtaking but there is no use if the end product cannot be found. We need to score as many goals as we can from the chances created in order to kill the game off, early. Some changes need to be done in order to compete in BPL &#38; Europe. We are not midtable team !!! We are the title contender. Our main rival’s are Man U, Chelsea or maybe Liverpool. We need a big squad with a lot of quality player’s including the subs &#38; this will make all the player’s to compete to improve or prove their worth. Wenger will have all fired up player’s available for each &#38; every game. We don’t need this kind of statement from one of the blog’s : “The Arsenal Way - Sell your best players, Keep your Doo Doo players”. For me this already becomes a reality, a good manager will do anything to keep their best player’s. Just raise Flamini’s salary to 65k for godsake to keep him as well as Hleb too. Wenger must come out of his shell or else, he have to leave. 

Those useless &#38; injury prone player’s to offload :

1.	Adebayour(15m) – Fucking poor first touch, no guts/skills to take on defenders, poor ball control, too slow, no body stability, cannot link play, selfish &#38; too arrogant.
2.	Robin(15m) – This guy is damn good, but he is made of toilet tissue paper. Injury prone, can’t even play 5 games in a row &#38; cannot recover fast (too soft).
3.	Bendtner(8m) – Total useless. At his age there are too many good &#38; talented player existing. Benzema, Ben Arfa, Pato, Aguero, Walcott, Santos, Bojan, Messi &#38; many more.
4.	Rosicky(15m) – This guy is damn good, but he is made of toilet tissue paper. Injury prone, can’t even play 5 games in a row &#38; cannot recover fast (too soft).
5.	Diaby(8m) – Not good enough to play for Arsenal. Lazy &#38; useless.
6.	Gilberto(Free) – Contributed a lot &#38; now the time to move on.
7.	Sanderos(5m) – Useless donkey.
8.	Hoyte(3m) - Not good enough to play for Arsenal.
9.	Gallas(6m) – Not good enough to play for Arsenal. Too arrogant, lazy &#38; not a team player or leader.

Total $$$ earned from selling useless player’s : 75m.
Transfer kitty allocation : 25m.
Total to buy player’s : 100m.

Experience, good quality player’s to buy or buy back :

1.	Thierry Henry. (15m) – For godsake, please buy this genius back. He can be our striker’s coach as well.
2.	Karim Benzema.(20m).
3.	Hatem Ben Arfa.(12m).
4.	Ricardo Quaresma.(10m).
5.	Micah Richards.(20m).

Total to spend : 77m.

Total to buy player’s : 100m.
Total spending : 77m.
Balance to use for wages &#38; other’s : 23m.

New Arsenal team for 2008/2009 season (Mixture of Young &#38; Experience) :
4 – 4 – 2 : (With new numbering).

Manager : Sir Arsene Wenger.
Skipper : Kalou Toure.

                      1. Almunia
3. Sagna  5. Toure  6. Richards  2. Clichy
7. Quaresma  19. Flamini   4. Febregas  8. Ben Arfa
             10. Benzema  14. Henry

Supersubs :

                         24. Lehman
27. Ebue  23. Djourou  25. Nordveit  26. Traore
13. Hleb 15.  Denilson  16. Song  12. Vela
                11. Walcott  9. Eduardo 

Guyz, how is this line-up ???

Cheers </description>

		<description>Whole heartedly agree guys, a left winger and a right winger for me, no more midfielders, two propers wingers, a center back and maybe a Flam replacement.

We need a Ray Parlour.

I'm reading all your comments and the 'Milan have signed Flamini' Italian press comments, fuck me you would have thought they just signed Torres, or Kaka again, he really isn't that good Grovers, good yes, great, no way José!</description>
