HIAG - little exchange on the Arsenal board that might interest you.

Most fans want Wenger out - he has been great for us in the distant past, but he is a laughing stock now. No ideas, no tactical awareness, no motivation.

If he loved Arsenal he would go.

hey Jayram , your sig came true , go figure.

Yeah that was a bet with HIAG - I lost.

I will update my sig to reflect he was right shortly.
 
Doesn't look good when you quote someone to take the piss out of them and it comes true, does it?
 
Interesting reading about the financial troubles at Fulham's junior club in the London Evening Standard.

Abramovich has spent over £1 Billion (£1,000,000,000.00) since taking over in 2003 and all it has achieved is "short term success"

While the loss of £67.7m for the year ending June 30 2011 is a slight improvement, it confirmed that owner Roman Abramovich has taken his spending past the £1billion barrier since buying Chelsea in 2003.

And what has his incredible investment achieved? Short-term success certainly as the three Premier League trophies in the cabinet show. Yet with UEFA's rules of financial fair play coming into effect, there must now be concern at Stamford Bridge that they could return to mediocrity in the long term.

HIAG - go and do your worse, I would love to be able to join you but they're such sensitive souls in SW6 that they just can't handle the truth. so I have been denied the opportunity.

Where else would they go! <laugh>

I wonder what view the mods will take when they find out a banned wum is sending idiots over to disrupt the Chelsea board?

Nomads? Still at the Bridge while you have had three different homes. its not a hard one folks <laugh>
 
Arrogant or what?

"John Terry will not stand down as England captain despite growing calls for him to do so. A source close to the player tells the BBC: "He is sure of his innocence and thus feels it would be wrong to do so."

God you are getting desperate if that is the best you can do. HIAG doesn't need prompting to tell some home truths.

Laugh about it in all probability.

Even the media are laughing at you ....

Both Manchester clubs and Tottenham have disappeared over the horizon, leaving them battling it out with Arsenal and Liverpool for one spot over the next three months and it is a fight they can't afford to lose.

Naturally, their rivals for fourth will say the same but Chelsea's squad are in the biggest need of an overhaul and they can no longer rely on Abramovich's wealth to provide it. Without their most reliable performers of recent years in John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, they lacked leadership, passion and any attacking threat against Swansea.

The trio are in the latter stages of their Chelsea careers and were always going to be hard to replace but the £100m invested in Fernando Torres, David Luiz, Raul Meireles and Romelu Lukaku in the last 12 months doesn't appear money well spent.

Their most recent recruit Gary Cahill, who joined from Bolton for £7m last month, is mysteriously still waiting to make his debut. By the look on his face as he sat watching his team-mates struggle, he may already be regretting his decision to move to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea hope to sign players of the calibre of Eden Hazard and Lucas Moura in the summer but without Champions League football they will struggle to afford their fees or be able to convince them to come.

Manager Andre Villas-Boas, who is also looking a questionable investment having cost £13m in compensation from Porto last summer, is feeling the pressure.

Looks as though that love affair with the press has come to an end.

I don't really go along with this Torres bashing. I think he looks really sharp, given he is feeding on scraps. In our team he would absolutely thrive. In many ways, he is just too good for the current Chelsea team.
 
There does seem to be something of a Spurs obsession on the Chelsea board, doesn't there?
Odd really, when you consider that QPR and Fulham are in the Premier League.

Written by a journalist who never has anything good to say about Chelsea...yet again a tenous link fron Ensil that leans more on someones opinion matching his own as it does facts.

You should have read the Times yesterday, and whilst not shining our shoes, it presents a far more balanced and informative view overall and of the picture going forward.

Stop moaning about being banned as well, you were asked repeatedly over months to tone it down but still behaved like a prick...you got what you deserved.

At least HIAG can have a laugh.

exactly...thats what happens when the wrong people have money...infront of our team...spearheaded by Modric...Toress would absolutely love it....however i dont feel for him as he chose greed over ambition...Modric saw sense.
 
Yay - yet another visit from the Fulham's junior club's moderator <diva>

Oh yes - and he's the one laughing at you.
 
Chelsea's squad is a little unbalanced at the moment Dona, but that's bound to happen when you get so many managerial changes in such a short space of time.

and long may it continue......i thought we have had a fair few changes also...but our progress has been gradual..instead of waking up one morning with a pot of gold.......i dont think that club can handle money not being pumped into it...we can....Toress will be gone in the summer and he might be used as bait to get Modders....but LM wont go.

Have to agree with the Torres sentiments above.

He get's no service at all so how is he expected to score?

With regards to his choice, I wasn't aware you bid for him?

Anyway...if AVB gets a chance and we get a winger in that enables Mata to sit behind Torres, it could be a different story<ok>

If...if...if...
