Do we actually know what his buy out clause is? I've seen both €45m and €60m mentioned.

I never said spending money doesn't go a very long way toward success, only that it's not Arsenal's major problem. They have a squad capable of challenging for the title, and lesser teams have won it, but they lack the mental strength to grind out a win when it really matters. United have...

Deliberately misrepresenting an argument is usually the surest sign that yours is weak to begin with. There is more to winning the league than money. If there weren't, then the highest spenders would be winning it every season, which they're not.

Much of which is dribbling into a bodies or falling over. I don't doubt his close control and skill, but I do question whether he'll ever be the goalscorer that a team challenging for a top four place will need. Should have gone for Berbatov, assuming SAF would have let him go to Liverpool.

You can't buy spirit or resilience. Arsenal had more than enough talent on the pitch to beat Norwich, but not the drive or belief to make it count. It's a big problem for them, and has been for a long time.

City went down to 10 men and conceded a goal. They didn't lose. This is the difference between potential champions and teams like Arsenal.

Excuses, excuses. Nice to see Wilshere on the bench already though.

Suarez is meant to be Liverpool's best player, but I actually think he's the one holding them back. With the amount of chances they create and he misses, you have to say with a more clinical striker Liverpool would be in a much better position than they are.

Even ball control I'm not sure about. Futsal and 5-a-side on perfect surfaces seems far more conducive to skill acquirement and technical improvement than a bobbly grass pitch, especially the muddy mess the climate in England leads to for much of the year. We need more and more artificial...

You're being unreasonable. If the CPS were half as racist as you suggest, then they could easily have dropped the case for lack of evidence. If the FA were half as racist as you suggest, then they could have simply accepted the CPS verdict and not investigated him at all. These are points which...

Again, I'm not spinning, you are. I'm giving you the facts, which you're selectively ignoring, and then just throwing around baseless assertions about institutionalized racism. If it's such a racist system, then why did the FA investigate and charge Terry at all? Why not just accept the CPS...

I never spun anything, I gave you the facts. John Terry was investigated by the police for racist abuse and was found not guilty. Despite that, the FA still investigated him and still charged him with a four match ban. If they wanted to protect him then the police investigation would have given...

They're rumoured to be after Sturridge in January, with Chelsea trying to get Falcao.

Uh... what? He was investigated by the police, and despite being found not guilty, was then investigated by the FA and given a four match ban. And according to him, they made his position as an England player untenable, which forced him to retire. In the same way that it is/was for most of the...

Because it doesn't work. Modern Britain is one of the most tolerant countries in Europe. Not that it's really relevant either way, whatever the state of race relations in the UK, they still wouldn't excuse what the Serbian crowd are guilty of. I also think you're heavily confusing British...

International I mean. In fact I can't think of many great international comebacks at all.

It's not ironic to be criticised by a country like England, if anything, we're in a better position than most given that we'd had these massive problems with racism and hooliganism and have gone a long way towards stamping them out. Hooliganism in particular was dealt with in the wake of our...

I can't remember a come back like it. Think I may have to download the full game...

Trolling requires a degree of subtlety that you do not possess ;)
