Thats got to be the reason why :tongue:.

On a more serious note, i like the changes they made tbh. Only the winners of the top 7 leagues should be in pot 1.

Can't blame me for assuming though, people did not hold back on that topic boy!

Yes it does make more sense, however it does mean that the other pots will contain some big guns as well, for example RM could be in pot 2 if Barca wins La liga etc making the competition more fair and just....or so we think :colonhash: *chelsea cough cough*

Why are you even asking that idiotic question? Why can we not have both Welbeck and Giroud? Pathetic fans always complaining about what they have got and then wondering why players have no confidence.

Tell me one thing Welbeck adds to the team that Walcott doesn't. When Walcott is back, would you celebrate Welbeck leaving?


Because Giroud is ****ing ****.

Welbeck and Walcott don't play in the same position. However Welbeck is better in the air and much more dominating.

I think they were replying in a more jokey way than serious way to your post? :smile:

Basically whoever is in pot 2 would love to be drawn against the Russian or Portuguese champions. Yeah exactly. It'll make the group stages much more exciting and entertaining with more top clubs clashing. At minimum they'd be 2 games each worth watching in all the groups and hopefully now we wont have a majority of groups where qualification to the knockouts is almost secured after the 4th game in the group is played.

I presume since you are getting this angry that Giroud has murdered some of your relatives, or at the very least tortured your pet.

He is not as you crudely put it, terrible, he is a decent option for coming off the bench (a la Everton), and a good 3rd choice option, behind Welbeck and Walcott/Sanchez (depending on where Wenger settles them).

He has a point though.

So tell me, did FIFA mainly decide to change the pot/seeding system because many people complained about us being in Pot 1 for the CL this year?


No it was the oil clubs lobbying departments that got it changed (specifically PSG and City). Teams that have only become relevant in Europe recently (or in PSGs case returned to prominence after a ten year absence) and thus have low coefficients wanted a way to improve their standings in the CL quicker than it can be done under the current system. Essentially more buying of success, though this method is actually more logical for Europe and more based in the traditions of the competition (its real name is the European Champion Clubs' Cup after all).

why are you lot being so defensive? To make cash you need to use cash that you have.

Think I struck a nerve.

Tbh you are homophobic, you insulted me when you called gays nasty names.

I didn't call homosexual people anything nasty. All I said is that they shouldn't throw it at people's faces, I'm a fan of equality but not a fan of gay pride/slut walk etc. There are better ways to do it and tbh these marches probably breeds more hate in the community than pride. It's similar to black people going in white communities and repeatedly calling themselves "****ers." Are you ****ing serious. The word people used when they hung you up a tree. Or the black people who sit on the back of a bus playing music. Rosa Parks didn't go through that **** for no reason. It's not a statement, just produces more hate or shows the majority why you were vilified.

Plus anyway I'd be the biggest hypocrite if I was a homophobe because I love women who are bisexual.

I'd also say it's not a good thing to call somebody gay, considering it initially meant strange.

Ozil just needs to put on some weight while he's out injured and he will have successfully become the new Arshavin.

No what I meant by 'people did not hold back boy' wasn't about this thread, I was saying that a lot of people irl generally had a lot to say about Arsenal being in pot 1 so that's why I just thought that may have been the sole reason to the system changing.

Has less emphasis when you're a person who supports and finds racism funny.

Arsenal thread in a ****ing nutshell.


Other than the last one, this is way too funny (and shamefully accurate).
Haha. Its funny. All the Arsenal users on the internet are split into 3 groups. Blind supporters, objective thinkers and the WengerOut brigade. The former and the latter are always on the offensive. So much that an objective opinion will be blindly lambasted.
