Prem league season now over , FA Cup now secure , Champions League final done, further validating who is the best team and player in the world…. But alas I’m already going thru soccer withdrawal……after only one day.

I guess the only thing to look forward to is to see if anyone can stop the Germans from winning both World Cups (Women’s now in Canada).

Did you catch my post about Messi's boots?

Tob, did you notice a certain American in attendance at the FA Cup? Steed knows who I'm referring to.

Yes, I’m hoping his presence indicated interest in upgrading the club to seriously compete with the likes of City and Chelsea next season.

He won't penton and has not touched his own money since he came to the club.
Arsenal use their profits on transfer's with no help from Kroenke he even charge the club a fee of 3 million pounds to him as payment for advice he gave at a meeting for the club a while back.

Well dude, don’t abandon the thread entirely just because of some killjoy attitudes. Here it be – https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...n#post10875280

It’s difficult to compare eras, but even though Pele was my hero, I think Messi might go down as the Best player there ever was.

And speaking of eras, my biggest gripe with modern day (currently playing) footballers as compared to thee old legends is that the former seem so preoccupied with their hair that they sometimes remind me of peacocks.

Thanks. 50 goals a season is beyond amazing. The guy is a genius but my personal fave is Zidane. Not saying he was better, just my fave.

^ That’s not to say I want what’s best for Stan . I want what’s best for the Arsenal , although you must admire his business acumen if Business schools use him as an example for outstanding success.

I like to see Stan Kroenke invest money in to Arsenal because so far he has not made any difference to the club.

Well, I'll tell ya. If he's successful in bringing the Rams back to L.A. His power and wealth will explode and it surely would be a pity if he didn't throw some crumbs Arsenal's way.
