TROPHY CASE

Anyone else see this lovely playacting from Bale last night? [gif] by maher111in soccer

[–]9jack9 -1 points0 points ago

Well said! You can see the Liverpool defender put his leg in and then pull it away quickly. Players can instinctively fall over just because they think they are about to go down anyway.

It's not a dive and it's not worth making a fuss over.

That's a bit rich. No pun intended.

Hopefully it will be alright anyway :)

What does that mean? Hopefully no one will press tab?

Arsene Wenger: Profits may prevent Eden Hazard move to Arsenal - ESPN Soccernet by dcp24in Gunners

[–]9jack9 0 points1 point ago

Let's hope so. We do seem to be stockpiling cash at the moment. We must be the most cash-rich club in the world. Let's hope the money is used to secure the future of the club.

Wenger required to turn a profit every season by Coreyyin Gunners

The board haven't taken any money out of the club for many years. So we should probably assume that the money is for the stadium.

[–]9jack9 -2 points-1 points ago

"You should know that each season, it is imperative to show a profit of between fifteen and twenty million pounds," said Wenger.

Why? We're a football club not Tescos. What are we going to do with all that profit?

Henry may stay on 2 weeks extra (in time to play Tottenham) by Track_Runnerin Gunners

[–]9jack9 4 points5 points ago

We were 6-1 up, van Persie already had his hat-trick and The Ox was no longer on the pitch. Of course we're going to get the ball to Henry, he's a living legend.

He does look way past his best though.

How much money does Arsenal have in the books to purchase players? by Poopface11678in soccer

[–]9jack9 0 points1 point ago

He was a French international when we bought him and had just returned from the World Cup. He was a panic-buy though. We bought him because of Vermaelen's long term injury.

This is something you should post in the comments, not on the front page.

Joe Cole - "John is a racist? That's the funniest joke i could ever hear." by iamkaiserin soccer

[–]9jack9 -2 points-1 points ago

I don't really want an apology thanks. You have the moral high ground after I called you a "poisonous shit".

Let's just leave things as they are.

Teams lost possession so often that I thought I was watching English football.

Banner Request: De Gea matches a brilliant freekick with an extraordinary save. by An_Instant_In_Timein soccer

[–]9jack9[M] 31 points32 points ago

That's a fantastic picture and we might post it tomorrow but for the while we are giving Serie A the banner. It's a bit overdue.

Can we please stop with this Webb and United circlejerk? by supahsonicboomin soccer

[–]9jack9 6 points7 points ago

This needs mod intervention if it carries on.

We do get a lot of these Howard Webb joke pictures and we do remove most of them. But the one currently on the front page has gained over a hundred upvotes in the space of half an hour. We just can't moderate the front page to that degree. So I guess you are stuck with the same joke every time Webb referees a United game.

I couldn't find a good picture of Cisse so I posted the Ba one.

If you have already posted the picture on the front page then it makes for a lot less interesting banner. It's better if you message the mods to suggest a banner picture. There is a link in the sidebar for that.

Done.

I'm happy to post that. Who is the guy celebrating so I can apply a suitable caption?

I think good photos would be appreciated too, in general.

That's the most important criteria that I use in selecting the banner. That it should be a striking picture.

[–]9jack9[M] 15 points16 points ago

Most of the time it's me that posts the banner pic. I do try to find non-EPL stuff but don't follow other leagues too closely. There are other moderators who primarily follow non-EPL leagues but they don't tend to change the banner that often.

There is a link in the sidebar if you want to suggest a banner. Please use it, I would appreciate the help.

Some stats about Arteta from the Blackburn game. by limitzin Gunners

[–]9jack9 2 points3 points ago

Denilson used to pass the ball sideways the same as Arteta. They both play the same role in recycling the ball.

Arteta is definitely an improvement over Denilson, I'm pointing out that Denilson wasn't so bad.

Denilson used to have great stats and everyone hated him.

Oxlade-Chamberlain post-match interview - great prospect! by Baconesquein soccer

Pretty composed for his first proper TV interview. He seemed to avoid the usual clichés too.
