I want Usmanov to blow you out and come and spend his ill gotten gains at Everton. The fume from Gooners if that's how it panned out would be epic :)

The game is ****ed these days because of the money sloshing around. It's a sad state of affairs. Chelsea started it off in the premier league and City then followed. I don't really want to see Arsenal go down the same route, but it might be what it comes to in the end if our self sustaining model doesn't bring any titles.

Not contesting the last sentence at all.
We'd have been in a world of **** if Bates hadn't flogged us.
You're still lying though :) Oh **** I did 3 lines, this is now offically a rant <grr>

Dress it up however you like if it makes you feel better <ok>
 
They'll end up prosecuting a handful of individuals to send out a message and seek to deter others, that's the way it'll go. Streaming is costing them millions and they'll not continue to take this up the arse indefinitely

That's what I think they'll do, random amount of people and take it to court so that it frightens enough people to stop.

Good post, I said to Bluey on another thread the other day that I genuinely wouldn't want Saints to become a City/Chelsea.

**** that ****, I'd rather go back to league one.

Problem they have with the hosted services is that they all, or all the good ones anyway, have their servers abroad.

The EPL has been busy blocking these servers recently. But it doesn't last for long. The servers get moved and the game starts all over again.

If I can't watch a game on Sky, there's a dozen other channels I can get it on.

Tbf mate I've mentioned on other threads that it wouldn't bother me if Roman left tomorrow. I used to love old 2nd division away days. Fun times.

It's his speciality mate. Proper little tart <whistle>

Bod is acting out his Diva part, because he knows that Chelsea would have been toast without Roman bailing them out.

I've heard his argument that all teams spend big money nowadays, so Chelsea are no different. But quite simply nothing like what happened at Chelsea had been done before, where an average club was suddenly artificially propelled to the top because of one man ploughing his vast wealth into the squad.

Chelsea success after Roman is arbitrary. He was considering putting his money into Spurs. It could very well have been them who benefited from the massive cash injection.

But it wasn't Spurs, that's why us winning things gets up their arse.

Nah not really. There's always been a massively rivalry between Chelsea and Spurs, a lot of it goes back to the rivalry between the firms.

Yeah me and you have had plenty of discussions about this in past couple of years tbf.

I do really miss league one. No international breaks, FA Cup first round... Losing 2-0 at home to Rochdale, what's not too like? <laugh>

Proper footy <ok>

Exactly! in an ideal world if we all told the greed monkeys to **** off it would be a better place...sadly money corrupts absolutely.

Exactly mate, it's just gone beyond ridiculous now tbh. It's my love of Saints rather than the game that's keeping me going.

Otherwise I'd **** off and follow my local non league side.
