I'm among those fans, but as I wrote above, what fucking choices do we have?
The summer window opens up in a couple of months. It would mean that the club would pay him several millions more to relax in Argentina. Is that much better? Those millions are taken from fans' gate receipts.
They were claiming Chelsea were the better team that just didnt take their chances.

By fans' gate receipts you mean oil billions, yes?
Yeah all those Drogba chances.... wait what
You know what I mean. I'm talking about from the view of the fans.
This is amusing because these fans think you have a shirt to be proud of and a club to be respected.
You do not have either of those things and Tevez did not join the club for the "shirt" or history or fans. The fans aren't paying his wages.
LOOL WHAT THE FUCK
Didn't watch the games, went to see the muppets and it was awesome, but damn i love AVB for some bizarre reason, I don't know why.
they can win 2-0 at home.Song's good but Diaby HAHAHAHAHAHA Ramires isn't a defensive midfielder! He's box to box and has an engine on him that a lot of players don't. Doesn't need to be the most technically gifted, I love watching Ramires bulldoze through people.
And what else have I missed, the fuck. Manager and DC, you're crazy if you'd genuinely welcome Tevez back. Guy's a prick, pure and simple. Shows no respect for anyone associated with the club.
What else? Erm... Schweini is one of the 5 best midfielders in the world. No doubt.
Give me one reason for anyone to pick Arsenal over City.

Yeah, but don't pretend that the fans' money makes any difference to City's spending on wages or transfer fees. It's all oil money and all from the owner.
Their fans
lol
Realistically, better chance of regular first team football and London > Manchester.

Don't forget the pride of the Arsenal shirt.
Drogba was awful again this evening. He had one or two moments of good play but that was about it.
Chelsea need a new striker this summer. I know people are calling for Sturridge to play as a CF but he's infuriatingly selfish. All the best centre forwards are selfish but Sturridge wastes too many opportunities by going it alone.
He's a good player but I think Chelsea need a quality forward to partner him up front.

Well of course, that's shown in the balance sheet. But without the fans the club is nothing. They still need revenue. That is created from gates, matchday sales, etc. Don't act like the fans opinion doesn't matter, even while a lot of money comes from the owners.

lol typical
The same City who are out of all competitions and can't keep a lead in the Premier League against the most injury plagued team of the season? Not much different from Arsenal's from last season...

Yes, say that again when Man City show a £200m loss for the year and matchday revenue is £20m and wages are 150% of revenue. Fans are basically irrelevant at clubs like these, the owner could pay people to attend matches and cheer if he wanted.
Yes, that City. You think Arsenal have a better view of a succesful next season than City due to... what?
Arsenal have no reserves to play, so first team it is. Plus Milan will most likely rest some of their players.
Poor AVB. I like the guy but man Chelsea defending is so funny.

Yet they are still favorites to win premier league and sure of CL football next year again.
Have you read up on the FFP? This is a good article regarding City:

The revenue must be higher to lower that percentage, and commercial revenue will be vital.
Aren't Arsenal your feeder team? You need good players there so you could buy them ...
Drogba lol.
It's based on their match stats!
avram grant
Is Daniel Sturridge the greediest player in the league or is that title still held by Jermain Defoe?
A player who has been shit for two seasons, is almost 34 yet gets away with his performances because it's all Fernando's fault.

Loved that game. Loved the pundits saying Chelsea played well. Good one.
Grim.
Edit: thought Cahill was the best defender tonight.

Sturridge melts my chops. I actually can't like him because he's a ball greedy wee fuck. Sure, I appreciate the goals he's scored, but I can't help but think we'd have scored even more if he just passed a ball now and again. He also has the cheek to moan at anybody else who doesn't pass to him.
Edit: thought Cahill was the best defender tonight.
I would be sad if he did and I'm not sure Rafa would ever go to that poison chalice but if Roman is serious about winning the CL in the next few years there are not many better men to appoint.
Best part was Gary Neville telling is how simple it would be for Chelsea to win. Close down Lavezzi and Cavani and stop Maggio making runs and they would win 4 or 5-1. Simple.
Defoe has a much better strike rate than Sturridge tbf.

Yes, and last season Man City had a lower revenue than Spurs despite the larger stadium and plethora of superstar players. You can't just will commercial revenue up out of nothing, it took Man U and Liverpool 20 years of winning titles and trophies to get the massive commercial revenue that they have today. The following these clubs have in Asia is second to none, and that's stuff which doesn't happen overnight.
Honestly if the owner wants to get commercial revenue up he's better off sending people into shops to buy the shirts up and come up with another spurious sponsorship deal for £50m a season to put his name on team's coffee mugs.
Malouda.
The Defoe thing is just a dig but as for Sturridge I've seen him get into dangerous positions quite a number of times this season and just fuck it up because he holds onto the ball for far too long.

Paulo will be here till he's 90.
As much as Malouda does my head in, I'd accept having to use him on the wing if Mata played behind the striker.
So true. The look of incredulity on his face when Mata didn't pass to him was hilarious - especially when he'd been guilty of the same throughout the match.
We desperately need a new striker though. Can't believe Gary Neville thought Chelsea had a chance of scoring 3 or 4 goals.
