I would have to say that historically ( and that is what really matters ) it is still in Yorkshire, not some QUANGO created authority called Teeside.

Good Ol' Arsenal

Obviously it pays to have someone on the inside pulling strings :erm:

What a shame;) , I have to go back to do a full days work, just 14 hours after finishing the previous one. Three days rest not enough, poor things.:rolleyes:

PS. That goes for all overpaid footballers, not just Arsenal.

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Hang on, a few seasons back when United wanted this sort of thing, weren't we derided as 'moaners'?

And didn't Wenger disagree with the idea?

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Exactly Russ !!!!!!

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

You know thats a perfectly good cause many other teams have pointed this out.

Why is it people keep trying to discredit us whenever we win something. We won because we where the best this season and we didn't even have to spend anything near the amount Chelsea and man u do

If you want to keep taking away from arsenal victory can you at least provide some actual reasons?

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

So why did Wenger tell SAF to 'put or shut up' a few years back when United wanted the fixtures changed?

It's called DOUBLE STANDARDS - now that Arsenal seem to have thrown together a decent side, they want all the things United have wanted over the last 10 years, such as consessions from the FA to ease fixture congestion.

See above.

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Football at that speed is a lot more physically demanding than it looks on TV. You go watch a match live and see the speeds and the fouls its quite hard. It would tire you out. and we have wanted less fixture congestion for a while now, we where one of the leading teams to try and get a christmas break and we wanted this long before man u did

And no russ and yesman thats not actually what happened but its often changed to suit man united when they need to complain about us. for a start this applies to ALL teams not just arsenal and we are not asking for a huge change that man united wanted for gods sake chelsea dont do this they accepted your win and admitted we deserved to win. Bloody bad losers

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

Really?? I think you need to check up on your facts young sir.

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

I very much doubt that he will allow "facts" to be considered. After all he thinks that winning a trophy 3 times makes it "Our Trophy", yet winning it 8 times, once whilst winning the FA Cup & Champions League at the same time is somehow conveniently forgotton.:erm:

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
 

It is all relative, training, treatment, diet etc are all vastly improved these days, but to say that players are too tired to play 90 minutes of football every three days is a load of Ball Kocks. I work six days a week and even though I am the wrong side of 50, still play 3 or 4 games of squash to a decent standard every week.
you may be too tired, but I would certainly not be.:Sprint:

Re: [Merged] - Football talk
