No, the cousins that you are very much jealous of, who have signed a striker, winger and DM (soon to be 2). ;)


You do realise that you are all going to cop it soooo bad if you don't win your UCL qualifier :lol: :p

I'm surprised no one has yet mentioned possibly the best news we've had all (european) summer

Fener. Tough draw.

Fener. Tough draw.

The one team they probably didn't want.

Don't know why I'd be jealous of a club whose fans haven't seen their team win the league in 52 years, a huge number not at all. Bacary Sagna has as many Champions League games as a player as Sp*rs do as a club.

Whenever I see Sp*rs doing anything positive I go to this site and all is good in the world again http://www.haveyoueverseentottenhamwintheleague.com/

If I was an Arsenal fan I wouldn't be taunting anyone about the champions league.

So as a team who's desperate to strengthen their squad and who has been promised by management to spend an apparent 'war chest' - you're not jealous that another club has signed 4 players, All in positions that you are attempting to purchase?

Kidding yourselves.


Good luck against Fener, maybe you'll stop taking UCL football for granted and realise that you're not that competitive anymore.

Tottenham fans calling other teams uncompetitive :lol:

You have to understand their logic, Tottenham are competitive because they come 5th every year, we;re not competitive because we only come 4th :lol:

If we cant get Suarez (odds are looking slimmer by the day), who do we go after? Don;t really want us to spend money just for the sake of it. Dzeko? Huntellaar? Jackson Martinez? The options are slim, but I do think we will bring someone in upfront.

Rooney still being linked, and you would have to think United would prefer to sell to us. Probably more hope of the Suarez deal going through than that though :lol: :lol:

Aren't Dzeko and Huntelaar just better versions of Giroud?

Dzeko yeah, but Huntelaar is a very different player. Again, I'm not sure if their prices would justify the upgrade over Giroud.

Huntelaar seems to struggle with bigger clubs as well.

Hypothetically, if Fener beat us, but are than found guilty of match fixing (which from all reports is highly likely), would we go through?

UEFA won't comment on that until after the tie you'd think.

Worked for us in the Europa League a couple of seasons ago.

Would love to see us lose and Fener found guilty, if only for the reaction of Vaughn if we lost our way into the Champions League :lol: :lol:

There would still be plenty if banter :lol:

I think I read somewhere that the ruling is in a few days?

Comes out the day after the 2nd leg, gives UEFA plenty of time to "fix" the outcome if Fener progress.

Fair enough. Well you guys might be saved after all. Are you home or away first?

Are you an Arsenal fan?

Away first. Are Europa league qualifiers on the same date as UCL? If so, both testing away games before the NLD.

C'mon... you know better than that. Europa is strictly in the Thursday night domain. Other than that then yes both legs are on the same weeks.

Yeah, but usually the UCL is on a Tue or Wed, and UEL is on the Thursday.

Well, you lost your way into the First Division so I'd say that's about par for the course for Arsenal.

Why would I be jealous of a team who we are going to finish above?

apparently were going to sign a 27 yr old romanian striker on a free from schalke 04 . got a funny feeling were going to do business again on the second last week of the window ala after the 8-2 loss.

That'd be Ciprian Marica. He's nowhere near Arsenal quality.

yep thats the player. Apparently he is close to signing and i use the word"apparently" loosely
