FTK Blog: Alvarez video and player profile/ Call for Usmanov?

For fuck’s sake man! The AST comments were ill-timed and monumentally stupid. We were still in the hunt for a couple of pots when they came out and said they were disappointed in our season, and the Chairman let the morons have it.

He didn’t say ALL Gooners were silly and stupid, he said those specific Gooners were. I have been a Gooner for over 15 years now, and I totally agreed with him. It’s amazing that fans feel they can abuse and disrespect anyone and everyone associated with the club, but the moment they get a little back, they go running to their mommies.

Grow the fuck up.

you = retard

The Toad already came up with a scheme last year to clear our debt in one swoop but the directors rejected it as it meant directors would have to put money in.

They’ll reject any other plan he has.

When “one of our own” is promoting the media’s agenda of “Arsenal in crisis” it gets my goat. Hill-Wood’s words are available everywhere in full, yet some like FTK choose to deliberately misquote him and say he insulted all Gooners, which he didn’t.

And “The Law” is a reference to Judge Dredd

Hey guys, i dont think he has signed for, a website misinterpretted the information and published a story that it was us who signed him, when in fact, i think he has signed a pre contract with the ARGENTINE cub Arsenal De Sarandi. NOT our Arsenal.

Today’s gossip includes the following:-

1) Clichy wanted by Inter Milan for £5.5million.
2) Arshavin wanted by Zenit for £7million
3) Bendtner wanted by Bayern for £9million.

I make that £21.5million, more than enough to buy Leighton Baines from Everton.

By clearing out Denilson, Diaby, Rosicky and Squillaci and adding £10million from the kitty we should be able to afford Cahill.

After Fabregas’ disgraceful decision, to go to watch the Spanish Grand Prix instead of attending his paymasters final match of the season, there can surely be no future for him at Arsenal. As club captain his total lack of respect for the fans, his team-mates and the club shows that he has decided to go to his beloved Barcelona…and the sooner the better.

Judge Dread? Is he the gormless one who granted Giggs his super injunction?

Cesc quería pegarse un tiro” in other words Cesc would like to shoot himself. The Barça crowd took the hump and whistled their contempt of Cesc. On the Marca.com site 2035 bloggers, with this article with the quote and article on Francis Fabregas’s views on his son’s treatment!

Then after the Blackpool game from a Cesc Twitter “N’Tenemos que luchar hasta el final!”. Unfortunately some of his players lacked this quality.

The Spanish Grand Prix is a Blue Riband event for Cesc’s mother with an office at the circuit, so I understand why Cesc was there. Cesc cut the ribbon last year to open the office, then of course Cesc was injured and renting Deco’s old flat!

FTK good work, we have to knock some sense into those muppets who blame Mr Wenger for all the ills in the world.

There is no excuse for the club captain to miss the final game of the season. It just emphasises his contempt for the fans.

USMANOV is a Manyoo supporter, so calling for him to absorb the existing debt to solidify his “love for Arsenal” is hopeless. We’re an investment for him, nothing more. I’ve got plenty of problems with the board, but none of them have mentioned taking dividends from the club, as USMANOV has. Also, he’s suspected of more than one rape and several murders in Uzbekistan and Russia, his rise to power based on mafiosi action in charge of utility companies in the former USSR. We wouldn’t know any of this as USMANOV sued several Arsenal blogs when they tried to print these things (Arseblog among them). This is the WRONG man to turn to for anything our club needs.

@ Ronnie
Interesting response, I am actually in favour of that comment…

@Dandy Dan

Without Usmanov’s refusal to sell we would have become a rich man’s plaything.
ready to be cashed in at any price with no guarantee that we would not have a leveraged buy out.

I prefer balance and our present format. Usmanov deserves a Board seat irrespective of his motives, it is for the Board to be held accountable to ALL shareholders…

@Farrukh

What a surprise?

SHOCK HORROR Directors to put money into Club scandal…

@Alf15
Give it time…

Perhaps a new coaching ethos???

@Gooner Sam

Denilson NEVER attacked like this.. sorry pal you are sooo wrong!

@passionandpride

One more year…
One more year…

@Belfast

I agree

@rockogilberto

Usmanov would tell you that he was imprisoned on false pretences and never found guilty of the allegations.

I have read the informations and also posted a blog with letters exchanged between Usmanovs representative and the Guardian.

What evidence do you have to substantiate your allegations?

What evidence do you have to support your assertion that he is a Man U supporter.

This Blog distances itself from additonal allegations that lack objective evidence. BE VERY CAREFUL what you state as fact…

FTK re Mr Usmanov. Most of it is in Russian and it is very scattered.

In an interview with Iain Cobain, guardian.co.uk dated 19th November 2007, Usmanov mentioned for the first time in English of the third person sentenced. In a question about President Karimov, Usmanov mentions two other people. In a question about Mr Shteinberg, Mr Usmanov offers the reporter a copy of the original charge.

In neither case did Cobain pursue the obvious, especially the offer of the copy of the original charge.

It is that interview that made me seek the facts. I will check if that article is still on the internet.

Bear with me.

Maybe I don’t understand but if Usmanov loves the club so much and his only intention was for the clubs debt to be paid off then why can’t he offer interest free loans to the club. Or is it a case of I’ll put my money in as long as I’m not the only one? If I was a billionaire, I would just give massive donations to the club and I guess most of the fans who read this blog would do the same, so if someone with the kind of money he has was actually a lover of arsenal surely they would do the same.

like all investors in the epl, the ones at arsenal clearly looked around at clubs they could potentially buy and then decided on one they had a good chance of making a profit at, bought into it and then claimed they were life long fans with a love for the club and its history etc. I would assume his real love is for a club in russia as kroenke’s real love is for basketball and the denver nuggets.

It seems rather an empty gesture to propose a rights issue (other than for publicity) because he obviously knew that it wouldn’t be accepted. Whether that was the right decision or not I have no idea but did he really think there was a chance they would go for it? I doubt it.

was it gazprom who shut off power to a large chunk of eastern europe a few years back??

The latest news reports concerning Ricky Alvarez’s rumored done deal to Arsenal is quite frankly only garb (Goal.com for verification). This is embarrasing both for the player and for Arsenal FC. Why didn’t a statement from the club come out to clarify the situation. When Manchester Utd signify their interest in a player i.e David de gea, they actually end up signing the guy and with ease to boot. Why do we always struggle unless were signing a novice or “youth prospect”. Do we not hold much sway in world football anymore. Another point is why was there such confusion on the part of the press when reporting this players alledged pre-contract agreement when a representative of our club has only flew out to watch the player recently.
