Make teams play behind closed doors I guess.

Or make teams play at neutral grounds miles away from the home fans. They did it to English clubs in the 70s and 80s for crowd trouble. Hitting a club hard in the pocket is the only way.

There was a gypsy chant that happened at a Plymouth vs Southend game this season and people didn't understand (people on our internet forum) that "get up you cheating gypo cunt" was unacceptable. It's still pretty rife in our own game if you regularly go to live games but some of the stuff (from Russia especially) is disgraceful.

still better than his heroic brother

In 2004, tired of engineering transfers for his restless brother Nicolas and fed up with 'the crazy things' he saw managers do, agent and DJ Claude Anelka decided he wanted to be a boss himself. With a 'mystery' backer, he offered £300,000 to any lower-league club who would let him be manager, and got a bite at Raith Rovers, in Scottish Division One. Citing Cruyff, Wenger and the boss of Chinawhite nightclub as influences, his philosophy and signings - some from the Paris seven-a-side leagues - brought Rovers just one point from 24 before he stepped aside.

Apparently there's this pic going round of RVP sitting with one of Man City's delegates.

Sounds like Arsenal's season could be about to nose dive.

I'll only start panicking if you've got a picture of Andy Carroll sat with one of Arsenal's delegates.

It's quite sad that you've given up caring what happens at the top of the table. Honest, but still a bit sad.

Anyway, the source that managed to leak the pic out is...Robin Van Persie on his twitter feed so if they are tapping him up, it's not the most subtle way of doing it. The guy in question is either a Man City delegate, or he owns a box at Arsenal depending on who you listen to. The latter coming from a person RVP follows.

The important part of this though IS THAT THEY WERE EATING 300M FROM MY OFFICE. Hmmph.

I don't see what the point of stressing about players leaving is anyway. As great a player as Van Persie is, by the time his contract runs out he's going to be 31 with his best years probably behind him. If he's stupid enough not to heed the warning of what's happened to every other player we've sold to City then there's nothing you or I can do about it either.

For what it's worth I reckon he's more likely to stay than leave, but his decision is unlikely to be about money. Man City might promise him a fortune, but by all accounts it's supposed to be a bloody awful place to play football. Even Arsenal in the absolute nadir this season looked like more of a laugh than there.

Norwich are fucking disgusting. Shame they won't go down.

The Liverpool comedy show continues. :hat:

Why is it the United fans who talk complete arse?

You what?

what he basically means is that teams should only roll over for United and that its a disgrace that they have allowed themselves to be destroyed by a team that isn't United

At 2-1 Norwich looked good value, when the third went in it was all Man City - unlike the Norwich Man Utd game where Norwich were the better team!
