And, we're off.....2016/17

Agreed, the way the season has gone, I thought they might of sneaked a point.

I'm torn, the way we are falling over atm i want the bottom 3 teams relegated asap. But i also have a decent size bet on Leicester to be relegated, so need them to struggle to.

That's not what i'm saying at all.

They could sell all the season tickets to rich fans who only watch them play the top clubs. So on matchday only against smaller clubs only 50000 ATTEND. My point re fiddling is that it looks better if they say the stadium is full on happy gunners when clearly it wasn't.

Saw this a few years ago.

We could all see how the ground looked, but that still doesn't change the official attendance, and that's what was posted on here. I would imagine every single club announced the ticket sold attendances rather than bums on seats.

Considering you complained about people not discussing the game you're doing well lol.

Nobody has said it isn't official, but using it to try and claim a ground is full and all is good, as was done, is just stupid IMO, hence my original post.

Had a little google and could only find a definition for attendance, not "official attendance" so i'll still stick with that.

Anyways, almost 3pm, we can discuss another lackluster saints performance in 120 mins.

I presume you mean next door to you?

My neighbours kids may learn some new words if it goes wrong again!!.

Ok it's 3 points and there are those that will say that's all that matters, but for me I would be very worried if I was an Arsenal fan because that not only could have been a dull 0-0 draw at home as there is clear controversy with the goal, then there should have been a red card when Hull had some momentum going and then this could have been a real nail in the Wenger coffin.

There's simply nothing clinical for me with any Arsenal performances so I can't see what there foundation is or where they can build from to become a force to compete as title challengers instead of being the ever present just enough to get 4th and CL football every season team, there's nothing convincing about Arsenal whatsoever and if Sanchez goes in the summer, which I expect swiftly followed by Ozil, then there building from scratch again.

Did you see the picture of little Bradley falling asleep on Defoe during the week? Lovely photo, I'm sure it brought many a tear to the eye.

Great to see, Bradley and Defoe seem to have bonded.

I saw that, credit to defoe, looked totally natural.
Like he was happy (for want of a better word) to be there.

It appears we may have found a replacement lump for Pelle.

*cough* no I didn't have a lump in my throat or tear in my eye when I showed it to HID

This is the biggest risk to Wenger staying on. I feel that a new manager could give the boost and fresh ideas the team, which has been together a few years now, needs - to push them to realise their potential. If we were to have to start over, we could be in trouble.

1st goal was handball, 2nd was quality.

If they are not careful footballers may be getting a good name over this issue. Clubs are getting involved, players are playing their part. All very genuine. If anyone can produce a better picture on any subject this year then I'd love to see it.

My feed is useless so have given up til this evening.

Haven't seen either, but if he gets em off his backside whilst looking the wrong way i won't mind!

Brilliant from Defoe.
I could cry everytime I see young Bradley.
Such a brave little boy.

According to Sky news Ref has apologised to hull for the handball goal

Bit pointless really now though isn't it?

Did he also apologise bottling sending Gibbs off?

 

[One Planer]

Oh look. 6 minutes injury time ay the Brit'.


I'd love to know where that's come from!
