Taking those teams means RVP and our forwards need to make each of the chances count as if their life depend on it . Because chances will be much rarer now , compared to Blackpool's horrendous defend .

Good win last nite though .

fuuu saw the sliding tackle after fab cleared the ball on the line

potential leg break tackle

fffuuu its official d take over bid, the way i see it, very likely he will attain full ownership
i have to say id take stan kroenke any time over alishnov guy, stan more handsome....the other guy like some mafia mang

but i dont know much about what will happen if the takes over,
you guys forsee what happening?

hehehehe

But if mafia guy mayb can secretly hire hitman all to take out rooney et al ? =P

Anyway it seems like a rather prudent way to do it, seems pretty inevitable. I just hope that this means lotsa $ in as opposed to $ out with man utd's take over.

Yesterday's win was more of a relief that we finally won. I still find it really unconvincing but the lads did work hard although concentration once again was suspect. I had the feeling that the lads wanted the season over with and look for the next season already. 2nd place if we can consolidate is not too bad. But not winning the league is really our own downfall. Bad decisions/injuries or not. We had enough games to negate all this - Newcastle, Spurs, West Brom and our draws come to mind. Everyone including the fans need to take a good hard look at ourselves. Management and players need to step it up, but so do the fans - yes we deserve something - but being a supporter should it be conditional (you win then i support?) or we support unconditionally ? That is something a lot of the so called "corporate fans" that we're often accused of having need to look at ourselves. The debate of high ticket prices = merited performance is not really valid here although i would have went into it if it wasnt for the fact that it would be too long and tedious.

Takeover Official

I prefer Russian (Chelsea) over American owners (MU and Liverpool) from experience of course.

Lets hope it will bring more positive to Arsenal instead.

well,based on what has been published in the official site,i think we won't be expecting any change of direction in where the club will go.kroenke looks like he'll just continue what the club already have.

welkam to the american invasion club!

A much needed win over the weekend. Much have been said about the game hence there's no need for me to elaborate more; but in short we were pretty good in the first half but could have easily lost it in the second half.

Anyway, Stanny's finally made his move... Thoughts are as below:

What it means:
1. Nothing much, really. It was already ominous since the day Stanny was invited into the board - more of a 'when' rather than 'will or will not'.
2. Drastic changes to the management of the club are very unlikely, given that Stanny has agreed to keep the current board and pledged full support for Arsene.
3. Even less influence from Usmanov, if he had any to begin with. He pretty much alienated himself by publicly declaring an entire different philosophy of management, and the GFC hit him hard that he didn't have enough financial firepower to battle with Stan.

What I hope to see:
1. Continuation of our traditions and philosophy - no worries here given it's still pretty much the same blokes that run the club.
2. Stanny bringing his experience and expertise in running sporting franchises to Arsenal. It'll benefit us if Stanny plays an active role in marketing the Arsenal brand, and hopefully with his (and Gazi's) influence in US we'll be able to establish a stable fanbase over there, and hopefully it'll mean more publicity, more revenue, potentially more scouting networks and acquisition of starlets.
3. More financial strength to compete with rival clubs who have sugar daddies. Stan is a businessman, and I certainly hope he increases the income of Arsenal using commercial ways. It's very unlikely that he'll inject his own fortune into the club (Roman, Sheikh), and he has agreed not to pile debts onto the club (Glazers, Gillett-Hicks).
4. Stanny not meddling with the footballing side of things - leave it to the manager and his staff. Many managers at rival clubs have bad experiences where the club owner insists on his favourite player being bought/fielded without considering the suitability, or have vital players sold for profit without consulting the manager and coaches. So Stan, stick to the business.
5. Stanny being more vocal and actually telling people about his directions and ambitions for the club; and at the same time tell Peter HillWood to shut up!

That's what exactly what AW and Arsenal want? An unpredictable outcome, it tested alot on our defense but in the end what really matter was that it grind result. It is not like the previous draw game which AW claimed it to be flat. Flat is actually a softer word for "predictable".

The thing is , it's Diaby mentality that is in complete mess . 1 second he looks like a hero , another one he goes nuts .

i think one of the mutual agreement before takeover is don't sack AW

Kranky with 63% for now. Kranky is more or less like AW with prudent spending. Not someone like City & Chelsea.

Other words is true businessman. He won't let deficit in his business management.

fffuuuu kronky soo rich..anytime can ask money from daughter of walmart founder mehh..good2! If he have the same vision,it'll be OK.

i much worry about the middle sentence, thanks for making me feel so special in those years...

wah...wal-mart gonna sell cheap arsenal stuff liao...

I hope the takeover won't stop Arsenal from the possible visit to Malaysia for the match against Malaysia team with this takeover.

Anyway, i guess Arsenal have to at least wait until end of the season to know how powerful is this new owner.
