That's about the same as ours.

Our record is 1 win, 5 draws, 6 defeats, scored 12 conceded 22, 8 points. So better than Arsenal in every aspect except goals scored. Most significantly points per game, which has been left off that graphic, Arsenal 0.38, Spurs 0.66. Not exactly amazing, but almost twice as good as Arsenal's record.

I know. It rings back to the days when their "youngsters" beat all comers in the cups. The same youngsters were still doing that 5 years later when they weren't youngsters anymore.

The same group of "youngsters" we beat 5-1 in the semi final? Despite the fact our team had a younger average age. I don't remember that being mentioned at the time.

He is just such a pretentious little wanker. So now they are rubbish he doesn't care about winning? What exactly are the values he cares about? Running their best players contracts down?

I think they got good value selling Oxlade Chamberlain for £40m.

Maybe not for long. More than a bit of momentum around the Klopp detractors

Although I hasten to add .. £500 mill could buy 2 Newcastles with enough left over for a piss up of Mike Ashley
proportions,

So basically Kronke has a spare £500 million he could have been ploughing into the team in terms of transfer fees and wages?

That should sit nicely with their fans!

Like @DCSPUR says, if he spent that on buying up Usminov's shares, he isn't likely to put any more cash into the club.

Would be lovely and apt if this happens. The club built entirely on rich powerful owners diddling the system for sporting gain get diddled themselves for money by one of the worst sports team owners in the world.

According to the 'print' version of the Evening Standard on Wednesday, Usmanov is seriously considering it because he's come to the end of his tether.

He can't get anything done at Arsenal and has very little influence over the day to day running of things.

Added to that, his head has been turned by Everton surprisingly enough. His old accountant and good friend owns/runs Everton, and has suggested that Usmanov buy the club. If he can't get a winning team together at Arsenal, apparently he's thinking about doing it in the North West. He's got deep pockets and he's willing to invest!

To a group with interest in the fans, not Kroenke.

Arsenal will sell forward Theo Walcott and playmaker Mesut Ozil, both 28, in January. Walcott is set to rejoin former club Southampton. (Daily Express)

Ozil is only willing to play for Barcelona, Real Madrid or Manchester United if he leaves Arsenal, but he could yet agree a new deal. (Goal)

I don't know what his agent is telling him but at this point he may as well just sign another $200k contract with Arsenal and keep taking the money. I don't think he'll even get that money in China.

Even as a free transfer I'd be upset if we offered him more than £70-80k

Arsenal forward Mesut Ozil, 28, is set to stay at the club, because no other side is willing to pay his £330,000-a-week wage demands. (Sun)

I'd also like to announce my complete retirement from football as no team is willing to pay my £330,000-a-week wage demands. Only reason. Nothing else. Just the money.
