Premier League 2011/12 general thread

8-2! What a goal as well! Your men took one hell of a beating!

[Sam The Man]

He would be the best player at the club, but to think that nobody else would want more money is ridiculous. You just have no concept of how football works.

Even if nobody else at the club wanted more money it makes it impossible to sign new players because they'd expect to be on what Sneijder's on.

It's just not possible. Arsenal are not Man City.

Players...............Whoa 8-2 another gr8 strike by Young and the same(ish) as his 1st. He has been our best player today. Anyway i was saying that Players always want more money at every club and that if the club refused there demands no one there is irreplaceable like a Ronaldo, Messi, Rooney e.t.c. There wage budget isn't anywhere near the limit of what they can afford.

If they play like this all season they won't even finish in the top half and for Arsenal and their fans it's unacceptable to even miss the top 4. Players like Sneijder and wages like 100 - 200k is becoming the norm for a top 4 side. It is perfectly possible for arsenal to pay that for 1 player.

Rooney is now on nearly 200k a week but that doesn't mean that suddenly all our players are going to start asking for the same or would be given it. At the same time like i mentioned wages are always going up and players always asking for better pay packets.

We'll continue this debate some time in the future when you've realised that money doesn't grow on trees.

Ayayay another stupid comment. Of course it doesn't but once again your going to extremes.

[toythatkills]

I'm not. Arsenal can't afford to pay a player ?250k. There is literally no argument here. You saying "yes they can" does not make it true. They simply can't afford to.

If you want to come up with some great solution to save Arsenal, try doing it within their means.

[vanpeebles]

I suggest renaming the emirates to spooky ring.

[abigsmurf]

Is that the worst ever Premier League result from Arsenal?

Utterly embarassing. Will send a very strong message to the board that they need to spend and I imagine Wenger's position is teetering over a cliff edge now.

I thought you were a 'Posh' fan, TTK? You should be revelling in Darren's dad's glory.

That's the first time in their history that they've shipped eight goals in the top flight.

Screw Alex Ferguson

Your saying they can't and that doesn't make it true either. They lost 200k a week at least in loosing Fabregas, Nasri & Denilson. You don't have a high enough I.Q to understand that they can pay that or near that to Sneijder and still operate perfectly fine and not go into debt or any more than they are which isn't much compared to alot of teams.

I have no great solution to save Arsenal or any team but i have a high enough I.Q to understand that Arsenal can afford a high wage for a world class player.

[nakamura]

Extraodinary game. The only thing I can say positive for Arsenal is that despite conceding eight goals, the keeper is awesome and never put a foot wrong!

[Sam The Man]

Yeah both Keepers have great futures ahead of them.

[abigsmurf]

Utterly bizzarre atmosphere post match, even Fergie was a bit subdued.

First time in a while there's been a goal fest without endless plaudits to the winning side. Guess most people found it a bit painful watching such a big team seemingly fall so far in a short time.

Okay, we're pretty much done here. All you're doing is calling me stupid and insisting that Arsenal, a team I know a damn sight more about than you, can afford to pay one player ?250k. You have no concept of the finances at that club at all. You're just saying words and assuming they're true.

If you want to have a serious discussion about this, we can, but I'd suggest cutting out the pathetic abuse because you're giving me no reason at all to not just ignore you.

Yeah done and dusted. You can't know a damn site more than me if you think they cant pay one player 250k a week and still operate without going into debt. I have been looking at their finances and there turnover last season and its clear to me that they can. I tried to have a serious discussion about this but you seemed to be more interested in making jokes and being dramatic than serious and clear minded. I apologize for actually saying out loud that you were being stupid when i should of kept that to myself and ignored it.
