have they actually got decent value for money though? Must be the football version of diminishing returns, no other team should be able to get anywhere near them, the talent they have everywhere is ridiculous.

Maybe not. Given the money their owners have I imagine every club shoves the price up just that bit. Agents as well will probably ask for more from them in wages.

But at the same time every player of that calibre on their bench is one that isn't playing for their competitors and thus helps them towards winning titles. When they do that they get tv money, sponsorship, merch etc.

Spurs 1 up against city , mega noise when they scored

 

[cc84cov]

1-0 Spurs

I just don’t get Man City no striker playing working it wide to cross to sterling and Mahrez

 

[clint van damme]

Jack Grealish moaning about someone diving!

different world completely- if I was Pep and I had a squad value pushing a billion quid & then watched them lose, I’d probably just resign before I got sacked. As it is Pep will probably just make a few calls so he can spend another £160m on Kane

 

[fernandopartridge]

easily the biggest

Man City are weird, they seem to have shrunk, getting 35k in the third division but now thousands of empty seats for premier league games. Prices maybe, dunno

They never got 35k in the third division, it's a myth. The average gate was 28k (still good but they've never had support at anywhere near United levels)

no that’s true and I know they didn’t average 35k but they pulled in huge gates for some matches when they were in the third tier. But now when they release the ‘actual’ attendances as opposed to tickets sold there are often less than 40k there, never would have believed it- it’s as if they’ve not really built support up the way you’d expect them to have done.

A complete 1-11 in the Burnley team

 

[lordy_87]

442 n all

Adam Armstrong just missed 2 sitters within 2 minutes

He could’ve had a couple more if Romeu learned to pass.

 

[Tommo1993]

I just love seeing Arsenal lose.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Chelsea look way to powerful for Arsenal.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Arsena need to get rid of arteta

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Arsenal are further back than before he started and he has wasted plenty of money.

 

[no_loyalty]

Arsenal are shite.

 

[Tommo1993]

Love it. I’m not even keen on Chelsea. Reece James looks up for a good season, mind he is up against one of the shoddiest defences in the league.

 

[Evo1883]

That's a penalty for me

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Playing a midfielder up front with a striker on the bench. Arteta is another manager who over complicates the game

He's a manager that will achieve fuxk all but the sack

I am never surprised when Arsenal lose a game no matter who the opposition.
That is a sad indictment on a club of their size and stature.

Mikel Arteta is a Spanish Simon Gilbert.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Find it hard to have any sympathy for Arsenal.

I like to hope Wenger laughs at them. But think he’s classier than that. Just has a wine in his study.

 

[no_loyalty]

Arsenal away at Man City next, then a six pointer against Norwich.

Funny though.

If they keep this up it won't be long before other clubs start stealing their better players, big name signings will turn them down and promising youngsters will join other academies.

And then they'll start moaning about how unfair the system is when they were one of the main clubs creating that system and recently tried to entrench it further with the ESL.

 

[LastGarrison]

The knicker stitchers 1-0 down and now down to 10 men.

Shame.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Getting smashed 4-1 now.

Antonio should be in the England squad, in some respects he'd work better than Kane as complementary to some of the other players we've got.

 

[lordy_87]

Hahaahahaaha

I think big name signings are already turning them down, which is why they spent £50 million on white

Harry Kane is staying at Spurs after Levy has refused to do a deal. Man City are now after Ronaldo.

 

[Tommo1993]

Harry Kane shaping up to be the next Shearer. All those goals, lack of trophies.
