Sounds like a boring announcement
What...Arsenal being taken over by a billionaire?
Maybe boring if you are a United fan.
But its pretty major tbh. Not saying its a good thing, but its pretty big.
It will be interesting if he says he wants to go and spend a load of money but if not it's just the same as now but with a new owner

Tbh, its not his money we need. Its Dein back in to pull Wenger to one side, kick his arse and make him do the 2/3 signings we need.
Thats what is missing. Wenger & Dein = trophies IMO.
I wouldn't want us to go out and spend £300m because we'd just be like City/Chavski

Wenger wouldn't know what to do with money and would still buy baby frenchmen, just more of them

to invest in a cloning program based in brazil to clone a succesion of Clichys, each one more Clichy-like than before.
In 10 years, although you may think it impossible, there will be a team of 'super-clichy's playing for arsenal, decimating all that stand before them

I'm not sure I 100% buy into it but it potentially means we've another 3 years of no major success, as we are 7 years in.

Who gives a fuck. As long as you support someone in your region. Seems stupid when a northerner supports someone like Chelsea or Arsenal or a southerner supports Man United or Liverpool.

Completely agree, When i go to a pub round here in Swindon to watch the match & it is full of Man United/Chelsea/Liverpool fans who have never even been near a match in their life It is ridiculous, go support your local team ffs.

Carlisle is more local to me than United as is PNE but I don't support either of them. Been to a few Carlisle games and look out for them from time to time but wouldn't say I support them.

I don't understand it either. Most who support a team out of their region are glory fans tbh. Not all but most.
But obviously you need to consider those who support a team from near their place of birth but no longer live near there.....like me

When I lived down south and was at school alot of my mates supported Liverpool because they were the really successfull team back then (i'm old).
I couldn't understand it.
