Rags to Riches

A very quick round up of news today as now yours truly has to worry about the final presentation of my dissertation, which by the way I have come to loathe on a basis quite comparable to my loathing for Sp*rs.

The Times has has reported that Arsenal are set to announce record profits this year. According to the article, our annual results (which will be made public Sept 26th), will show that turnover from the whole business has rocketed to about £225m. Club sources say the figures for the year ending May 31, 2008, will also reveal record pretax profits of nearly £40m, while the group’s operating profit is expected to comfortably exceed £50m and therby making us the third richest club in the world behind Real Madrid & Man Utd.

Third Richest you say? But how is that possible? But were we not down in the deep end? Where they'd love to watch us drown? Down with Arsene Wenger I say, what does he know about Arsenal? Lets bring in Jose Mourinho. Yes, now he's a man who knows the way around football. Don't you agree? I am so enjoying this, it was so much fun to stay quiet all summer long, watching, listening, reading up on the "pundits" and their "professional opinions" only to wait for this very moment where I could say, Fuck off you naysayers. Twats!

Ain't this life so fuckin' great?

It has now come to light that Mineiro (Carlos Luciano Silva) took part in a behind the doors friendly with Fulham the other day and also scored. Le boss was present on hand to assess his fitness and wether or not he will be given a contract or not, we'd have to wait and see. He'd be more of a squad player in any case, he'd add depth and the experience factor, but wouldn't Appiah have been a better buy overall?

Le boss thinks Manchester City could muscle in on the top four this season by spending big in January. I don't see that happening this season, but next season, when they have the entire summer to splash the cash and build a team, I can very well see them finishing in the top four. Money does make the world go round, doesn't it?

Finally, a link has been exchanged with Wrighty7 & The Goon and you can view their fine blogs by clicking on their names.

Finally, here's a video, you lot would certainly enjoy;





Here's hoping for all three points at Kiev.

Cheers!

P.S If I sound a bit disoriented today then its because of that @#&@#$@% dissertation of mine. I hope it burns in helllll!!! ARRRGGHHHHH!! (Well it can burn after its been approved & graded :p)

I agree man. As sad as it is, money does make the world go round... But what i really cherished is the look on the faces of the citeh fans when they got the stuffing knocked out of them by chelsea , who by the way i dont like one bit either.
On the finance thing, No second thoughts.. Arsene is an economist.Thats what he does.. Its like an added plus point for a manager. P.s Great Post mate
