I don’t particularly follow American sport, but when every team is called a franchise, rather than a club it begs the question how tied to the local community are they?
And when you look through history, a huge muber of teams have moved cities so it seems to be a fairly common route once all the money has been squeezed from an area, the owner packs up and moves to a new area for new fans they can milk the bank accounts of, along with tv rights and sponsors.
Yes, it is a shitty act, but the US has shown historically that they are ok with it.
I am looking purely from the job done within each of their ownership records once entered into the UK sports scene, and whilst Kronke has not been goof at Arsenal, he is far from the worst AMerican owner

That’s not the only reason. I can’t be arsed settling in for ninety minute of watch my team try to win a corner.

I know this is the Arsenal thread but I have to derail it for a moment - Man City last won a trophy last year. This is absolutely insane. That said, I’d like to see the net spend comparison between Arteta and Guardiola.

If you go by the prices City have stated , wouldn’t be surprised if City’s net spend is better than Arsenal’s net spend.

Eze is a good signing from a purely sporting perspective. But…it’s a lot of money for a 27 year old forward. That it’s not an isolated decision either given Gyokeres. These are signings we just wouldn’t make. If they win the league they may be vindicated but that is now the bar.

After getting their set piece goal, brave Arsenal then started to try to play some football at home against newly promoted Leeds. Another set piece goal was added, plus two open play goals.
Well done!
(Yes, I really dislike them these days).
Dowman looks confident for a youngster, couple of shots so far and he is showing for the ball.

I was wrong. Won’t say another word about them.

It was Leeds
More about their young starlet getting near the field.
Penalties mean nothing to me regarding Gyokeres, he will outscore Hugo if he is taking them and they can buffer any ordinary strikers output.
Unless they are doing it alongside a penalties like Salah.

Nobody’s laughing now!
- Gyökeres is scoring a goal a game, will smash the PL scoring record at this pace.
- They have a 12 year old terrorizing defenses.
- Saka has remained injury free for the season.
- +6 goal difference.
- Destroyed Man U at OT.
- Demolished last years champions.
- 100% record.
- 0 Goals against.
- Top of the league, OBVIOUSLY.
- Most goals scored.
- The best hair in the PL.
- We only got half their points.
Yep. The joke’s very much on the rest of the league now. The last 22 years have finally taken it’s toll. If Utd and Leeds can’t stop them, who the fuck can?

They are coming up with that old chestnut odergaard and Saka are apparently injured and doubtful for the Liverpool game Arseteta firmly believes his bullshit is believed by Liverpool .

Some Spud fans have just used white paint all over it and signed their handiwork Y..s
And he would have sat mid table if he inherited the one Klopp inherited.
This is a team he finished ahead of the year before of course. So this twaddle doesn’t even make sense, how he spent more and finished with less points.
Does that mean Slot is better than Klopp? He’s been bought a team.
