^^That's how we roll 
If you compare the wages and league positions of the two,the joke is on Liverpool.
Not sure of broke, they are surely a joke

If you compare the ticket prices you lot pay for and what you get, the joke's on Arsenal.
Not that I disagree that we have been a complete joke in last 2 years.
But then Everton have been a joke for over 2 decades...

The wages are directly related to the quality of players while the ticket prices are governed by many factors.

lol in our case wages are not even related to quality of players(Jovanovic @ 60-80k, Joe Cole @80k+ ). Need no reminder for that. Damn we need to really get rid of the deadwood pulling out wages week after week.

Hence my point about Everton being better managed than Liverpool,at least in the past few seasons.

Sami Hyypiä, LFC legend
Managed better in past few seasons? Of course. They even had a better manager first half of last season.
But the bitter and bile nature of their fans will always make them look like a joke. Their relative "bad luck", poor finances and the resulting lack of success have made them closet-Mancs and considering their history and the fact that they are a Merseyside club, it's sad to see. Not that they are unique in gobshitery...but still.

Surely they can't afford Cesc now?Heck,he wasn't even their no.1 priority.
It is pathetic that their valuation of Sanchez is more than Cesc.Go home and wank Barca.

I'm sick and tired of players going to Barcelona and Real Madrid,just because it is their 'dream to play for them'. And end up warming the bench for a few seasons and then go somewhere else.
I hope Fibreglass doesnt end up at Barca.Would be good if he stays at Arsenal.we need some star players in this league ffs.

It has always happened.Like it or not,they are giant clubs and have always had a big influence over the players from South America and Southern Europe.

Bench when everyone is fit. With Sanchez coming in, I scarcely see Iniesta pushed in attacking three. Iniesta is prone to get injured though, and then is where Fabregas will play. And he's young enough to be Xavi's long term replacement.
Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, City, etc. also make "smaller" clubs sick and tired just because of the "player's dream". And they end up being crap or sitting on the bench many times as well.
I don't think we have any right to have a moral high ground. Though that doesn't make me any less pissed when my club is concerned.

Can 'smaller' clubs afford players like Fabregas or Sanchez? I dont ever think Everton or Bolton or even Newcastle will ever bid for players with huge wages.I do agree that our clubs do tap up the young talent these 'smaller' clubs produce,but that is bound to happen eventually,isnt it?
I dont mind big clubs in England buying players unless they arent rotting on the bench or dont feature as regularly as you would like.Problem with Barca/Real is that they have too many quality players for a single position,so the probability of those players going to waste is higher than most other clubs they can play for.
For Germany,it is Bayern Munich,who's the top dog when it comes to these matters.Bayer Leverkusen,Dortmund who produce,get young talent,always end up being the bridesmaids instead of the brides.That should change.
I'd also like the French clubs not to become feeders to other 'big' clubs,but they themselves cant help it as they need all the cash they can get from selling the top dogs.

"Smaller" clubs "poach" talent similarly from "even smaller" clubs, offering them "huge" wages with respect to the current club's standards. It's a big chain, everyone does that.
Often they do. Not in scale of Madrid though.
Completely agree to both points. PSG have big money these days btw (like City), let's see if they manage to build something, being the only(?) club in Paris can only help.
