Would probably say Atletico or PSG. maybe Barca if you had to take one of them as they haven't been as dominant as previous years. Still a horror draw ahead for Arsenal The same Barcelona that is leading their league and will most probably have Messi back in february and also Neymar improving? but compared to previous years they just haven't been as good, still brilliant mind. Plus Arsenal have been impressive vs Barca in the last few times they met

do they? its not like people will suddenly forget about the existence of football because the papers didn't cover it. Not with massive tv and radio coverage

Same goes for City. replace bayern with dortmund and yeah

arsenal can play real, atletico, barca, bayern, psg good luck with that arsenal

my only surprise is no other prem club hasn't tried this before, tv and radio pay for access already so I'm surprised no one tried this before now.

I find myself rather unconcerned with this. The level of offended squealing from the media should be amusing.

prem was still up for grabs wasn't it?

They spent 153 million on transfers in the past five years, or nearly 50 mill net, putting them 8th in the nett spend table. His decision making is there to be questioned, but they cannot complain they haven't been royally backed by their owner. We were heavily backed financially by Shepherd and the board over many years, during and after SBR era. Throwing money at the problem alone, clearly is not the way to go, especially for clubs spending well above their means. And we challenged for top honours and got into the Champions League. Whilst mindlessly throwing money at a problem will not solve it, neither will stopping to spend money. As I said, the can have no complaints about the way Short has backed them, and every managerial appointment they have done has been greeted with a nod of approval, even their DoF/Udinese model was. Their problem is they are just a nothing club with a culture of failure deeply ingrained in them, and long may it continue. The day Short has had enough is the day the will slump down the leagues never to be heard of again. backing alone isn't in any way to judge someone its decision making and shorts decision making has been mighty rubbish If you think that I wonder how you rate Fat Mike's..? all over the place. Some ideas and theorys I can get and understand but they're followed up with awful execution. Others are just plain bad ideas. Examples, having a director of football to focus on the transfer negotiation and strategy and also be a backer of the manager with an experienced football man giving advise to the suits and ashley-good idea thinking Denis Wise or JFK is that man-horrible execution. Having the club financially stable and be able to support itself without large amounts of cash injected to cover losses-good idea, doing so soley by focusing on keeping costs down instead of trying to grow commercial income (the one area of income that is solely the boards responsibility) -horrible execution.

Swansea doesn't annoy me anywhere near as much as Hull did, we were in the lead at home twice ffs. Despite the current scoreline. swansea annoys me more because I can chalk the hull game to one of those freak results we're prone to with newly promoted sides we should beat in theory. Swansea though was annoying because we did it while in fantastic form while they're form is iffy

doing incredible at hull not exactly exciting but damned effective without being as bad to watch as a pulis or allerdyce side

sunderland will probably end up on tv

well that livened it up

theres one of the "magic of the cup" games anyway

meh

FA Cup is with ITV and BT, doubt they give a fuck what Sky are doing their own loss though since most who can will be watching the actual game.

question though, why the hell are they holding the draw while the Arsenal-Everton game is on

Arsenal: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Ozil, Cazorla, Giroud Everton: Howard, Coleman, Oviedo, Distin, Jagielka, Barry, Barkley, Pienaar, McCarthy, Mirallas, Lukaku.

someone boring kinda meh and anything to keep us off the radar for fa cup 3rd round upset lottery

jesus Nolan thats horrific

right thats never a penalty

boom what a finish

and that should have been a goal

lovely goal
