Well shit, kinda ruined my day now this has.
Call Masters and tell him it’s over. League’s done and we’d rather not go through the embarrassment of losing the title to a lego headed thundercunt and his 15 year old son (who may or may not start a single game) running rings around and making a mockery of every PL defence.
You know I was rather looking forward to a nice, quiet night in…few pints of Carling (I prefer Stella), maybe catch up on last night’s Eastenders (literally never watched it in my life), but instead now I’m gonna have to find out about this Max How…Max Pow…Dowman, Max Dowman kiddo and stress over the fact he’s going to takeover the league, possibly even Europe and World for the next 20 years of his spawny life.
Things like this that really make me hate this place sometimes.

“Transfer illness”
I assume we will now have 400 columns of Eze and Arsenal disrespecting football.
A mural for a player that hasn’t even signed yet? FFS their standards are low
Can we put in a bid for Eze now ? If only to see the piss boil ?
They’ve also,done a second Chiesa song for him.
It’s a deeply weird club
The club itself is ok. They hae had their moments with Wengers’ rose-tinted glasses and some of the rubbish sprouted by Lego Man, but on the whole they are a good club.
Their fanbase though, need to lay of the Colombian fun in a big way and return to reality
Kronke is a real PoS. Admittedly, he wouldnt make the top 3 given the blood money that is in the league but he represents about the worst sort of American capitalist as an owner. I am biased after spending some years in St Louis and it was an absolute disgrace what he did to that city with the Rams. They were a fan base that supported the team far more than one of his ownership deserved.
So if you’re owner is scum, the fans are untolerable, and the manager is a prick, Im not sure what is left of a club that can be identified as decent.
Is he really the worst sort of American owner though?
Is he as bad as G&H? or the Glazers? or Todd Boehly?
Yes, he has been a poor owner for Arsenal but I don’t see him anywhere close to being as bad as a number of other American owners.
There was also a conflict in Colorado where he owned the local broadcast rights to the games of the local teams he also owned in the NHL and NBA and shut the locals out of being able to watch due to a pay dispute with the cable companies.
Few owners have done more to show open contempt for the people of the community where his clubs are located.
EDIT: I should have read the very next post before I responded. Classic signs of premature ejaculation.
I think one of the main issue is that he moved the rams from St. Louis to Los Angeles, it would be like G&H moving Liverpool to London. I don’t get the moving from one area to the other, it cant be that financially beneficial when there is already so much TV revenue involved?
It wasn’t just the move…he used the major league playbook to gut the organization hoping their resultant sporting ineptitude would make the fan stop caring and make it easier for him to move them out of town. The problem is they just never stopped showing up and supporting them despite how terrible a team he turned them into.
There are quite a few things I don’t like about American sports.
The #1 has to be the franchise aspect model of that. How can anyone shift the entire franchise and the history of that to another city ?
It’s like the whole Wimbledon shit. Never set right with me.
Still think the Glazers are worse. they paid themselves dividends while letting the club rot.
If your first selection is their best team, Odegaard isn’t near good enough. Nwaneri is a much better player.
