Yes, it is nonsensical, isn't it? Perhaps they could get 24 months interest free credit from UEFA? After all, Payday Koans could prove a bit damaging to what passes for City's balance sheet.
We actually tend to have finished 3rd then 4th, then 3rd then 4th... Since we where last in the top 2. This year we will end in 4th but within a handful of points of the top for the first time in a few years. We've had great home form this season and lead the league for longer than any other team. We fell apart in our most difficult period of the season which coincided with our worst injury list of the season including a handful of guaranteed starters (one of which was arguably player of the season before his injury). Plenty of ups and downs, but overall a pretty good season. Particularly if we go on to win the fa cup (making us the only team except city to take a trophy this season whilst still keeping our spot in the cl). I think offered top 4 and the fa cup at the start of the season almost every arsenal fan would of taken it. It's been a good season and should give us something positive to build on.
@your first paragraph There has been a clear improvement in arsenal defensively, consistency against the lesser teams (which has been an issue for us in recent years), fantastic home form etc... I think it's a little silly to just look at the final league position and base your entire judgement on that.
Especially Spurs! How in the hell we're 6th is still the biggest mystery to me having watched us this season.
It's a miracle. I doubt some of the relegated/ bottom half sides have seen as much dross as we have seen this season.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed he was on the verge of signing Eden Hazard, 23, before London rivals Chelsea's financial power won the battle for his signature from French side Lille in August 2012. (Source: Daily Mail) Welcome to our world, asshole!
Has FFP been brought in to protect Real? They seem to be the only team in the world that can buy whatever player they want.
Get real Madrid are devotees of creative accounting. Are they not trying to claim the 100m Euros for Bale is not "creditors owing" as far as the UEFA FFP goes (courtesy of their "instalments" scheme) ??
I guess neither of them are in charge of the club's Twitter account: http://metro.co.uk/2014/05/06/arsen...from-tottenham-supporting-neighbours-4720040/ Guillem Balague says they when they tapped up Fabregas from Barca they were also looking to sign some young Argentine striker they had on their books. Three guesses which one.
Well if City, yourselves and Everton all win their last games then you'll be as close to the top as you are to dropping out of the top 4. It's an improvement, of course, but 7 points is more than a handful.
The Mackems take the lead against West Brom. Poyet's good run, following their battering at WHL, seems to be ongoing.
Hats off to Poyet. They've looked woeful at times both before and after he took charge, but they've come good when it matters.
If City are anything like Liverpool, they'll attack Villa so much that one of their defenders will foul someone in the area. That's the excuse they use, right? ...the same one than Man Utd fans used for a couple of decades?
Well City should've had a penalty about a minute or two into the game. They're not darling Liverpool so they didn't get it
If you keep buying a ticket, you might win the lottery. Constant, unrelenting pressure produces mistakes. All fair, nothing underhand.
