Going to be watching what happens at that club very curiously over the next 12 months or so because they could be on the verge of an epic disaster.

I was hoping they'd sell Sanchez as I was worried they would buy 2 or 3 and give him a huge wage hike to keep him on. However as the window developed and it became clear they were unwilling to spend on players they really need I started to hope that he'd stay to prevent a couple of replacements - I thought they'd go in for Draxler and Lemar if he'd been sold.

With Sanchez now staying, this could be the worst thing for them. He wants out and it's been said some of the players want him out as they think he absolves himself of any blame on the pitch - it reminds me of the Berbatov years. I can see Sanchez turning it in on many occasions this season.

Having speculation about where your two best players are going at the end of the season is going to kill them. And of course - as someone has already mentioned - throughout the whole of January these players will be getting phone calls from all interested clubs trying to tie them up on a pre-contract ensuing that they can once again turn it in and not be arsed about giving 100% for them.

Besides Sanchez, you've got a huge player/fanbase divide and I can see the boos intensifying way before were half-way through the season. Perhaps the stadium will be half full with an ever more 'library atmosphere'. Who will want to play in that?

Apparently, Ramsey called Kosciely a "shit captain", whereas there was some other heated arguments after the Liverpool game. The moral is low and the mutiny will be high.

Throw in their manager who has been completely left behind tactically and operates under an outdated strategy recruitment and director-wise. Not too mention the fact players supposedly don't listen to him anymore. How can anyone expect him to improve the situation?

What player in their right mind and mentality will want to join a club in complete and utter disarray? Next summer will be a disaster for them, their best two players will leave for nothing, they won't be able to attract that calibre of player to replace them, they'll continue to have rumblings about others whose contracts are almost up and their manager will just sit there and throw his hands up offering some lame excuse.

As Spurs fans, we should all know that once the rot sets in it is extremely difficult to overturn it and rid the club of it. With Kroenke at the helm that doesn't look like happening anytime soon.

AVB may have been right "They are on a downward spiral" he was just a few years too late.

We just need to make sure we play our part and make sure they don't finish top 4 by finishing above them again.

It would take a ton of injuries and a complete meltdown on our part not to finish above them again. Only Sanchez out of their whole side would make our starting 11. There are actually players that will be sitting on our bench some weeks that would make theirs. Son, Lamela, Sanchez, Dier/Wanyama. It's amazing how far we've come in the last 5 years. I'm not worried about them in the slightest.

Brilliant really, they will pick up just about where they left off last season. FA Cup wins aside took the attention off Wenger until yesterday. The toxic atmosphere at Stadium and dressing room, hammered @liverpool, Shambles of a defense, could see them drop out of top 6 icing on the cake ox leaving because he can see he is wasting his career there.

I saw a comment earlier which suggested that with Arsenal selling AOC to Liverpool they have effectively
replaced the potential lost Champions League income for the coming year.

Lewis Hamilton pens poem for Diana

Englands Rose

The day we lost our Nations Rose
Tears we cried like rivers flowed,
The earth stood still
As we laid her to rest,
A day you & I
Will never forget
The people's princess
Who came to see,
The love from a Country
We'd hope she'd lead,
Englands beauty
Captured in one sweet soul,
Carried the torch
God rest her soul,
With the gift she had
Shed light up the way,
With a smile to show us a brighter day,
Hearts still full
of the love she gave,
20 years since she laid in her grave
There will never be another like you,
Now a shinning star in the midnight sky
I will always remember you,
Princess Diana
As our sweet nations Rose

Nope, it's definitely the Arsenal thread. I double-checked.

Lewis is just cementing his future prospects, for when he retires - he's basically just guaranteed himself a column in the Express.

So, is Lewis a Woolwich fan then? Or was Diana? I think i need a map, i'm lost and confused.

Well apparently Diana was England's first choice left back, but after that I'm lost.

Well, Pearce wasn't getting any younger at Newcastle, and i'm sat here desperately trying to think of another left back in the late 90's England squad... you could actually be right o_O

It's quite mad though.

The they won the FACUP three times in the last four years.

Pathetic fans.

Bit strong...
Was a joke mate. Hence lol at end of the sentence. And his head bursting comment.
The guy is gonna make himself ill is what I was leaning at. It's only football at the end of the day. Being passionate is one thing but getting that worked up is taking it too far. Probably needs a real problem in his life to put it in perspective before he does have a stroke. Or explodes.
