CFC game at their place is confirmed as 7:45 Wed 20th April. Presumably, no away tickets will be sold. How unfair.

Behind closed doors, please.

Chelsea want FA Cup tie with Middlesbrough played behind closed doors https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60747640

Chelsea already pissing people off with their *%^@. Can’t buy class.

Quote:

Within government I am told by one senior source that there is "exasperation" at what was described to me as a "tin-eared request" by Chelsea to play the match behind closed doors.

Officials feel they are bending over backwards to allow Chelsea to play with a special license when other businesses in similar circumstances would not have received such assistance,

It’s just a classic classless piece of true Chelsea that stuff today.

What is it about that club. Even with different ownership, managers and people involved the level of self entitlement and self pity is always evident throughout the years.

I concur with your views in relation to part one of your post but not so sure about your second point. You do understand there is an argument that Arsenal benefited from our Russian shareholder. In the time he was a shareholder the value of the club increased significantly. What flows from that is increased sponsorship and not being financially strained. I have previously said I find the Russian behaviour close to war crimes but I regard that as seperate. Revisionists will point to the war in Iraq and the mythical weapons of mass destruction. And the result of millions of deaths, based on a falsehood - nothing. I am never too keen to go too far without looking in our own backyard. I think the bible may have covered this ..let he who hath not sinned…

On the other hand I think we should all condemn the Russian invasion - linking it to sporting clubs is a different story. Yes you can punish the owners by taking assets but that is it and in seizing I think the government have a duty of care to not damage the asset. I know this view will not be popular but I don’t want us to be dragged into this and there is no reason in the revisionist world where this could not happen. I notice that Man Utd have already started the process. They will see how their views are received before moving to the next step. Of course there concern is an attempt to hamper a rival not because they are good people.

There’s no risk whatsoever to us or anyone else who might once have had a link to dirty money.

Just a note, Steve Gleiber would have been 58 years old now. He passed away 17 years ago today March 16th, 2005 of cancer.

The moral outrage against Chelsea is really strange IMO.

Man U are still too arrogant to do the rebuild they need, it’s been the same way every season since Fergie left. They’ve papered over the cracks by throwing money at players, some have worked, most haven’t but there has been no consistent message or goal or culture running through the club.
I think they need to get rid of 75% of this squad, all on high wages and without any clubs really wanting them. They are where we’ve been. They will probably still throw more money at it

Still no news on a re-arranged date for the Totts game at their place.

It's difficult to understand the reason for the delay - we know all our remaining fixtures and they know theirs - so why the mystery?

Indeed TG. The Away Fans issue is intriguing - not so much for the Chavs (who deserve all they get) but the away support at Stamford Bridge.

If our travelling supporters are all to be excluded from our upcoming match with CFC, then Arsenal as the away team are properly but unfairly disadvantaged.

Of the challengers for 4th spot, the lack of away support affects us, WHU and Wolves. It could even affect us differently if a sale is pushed through and the restrictions removed.

Dear All,
I on purpose didn't want to post today, as I have done in all the past years to mention that today
is the 17th anniversary of the passing of Steve!
I felt that after all this time the Forumites would not be interested in hearing about it again!
For us his parents and close family the pain of losing him is something we have to live with
but time does NOT heal, no matter what people say!
As I saw Warrior's posting and the reactions to it, I felt it's all right for me to mention how proud
I am of my Son, who had this vision of a Forum, when it was a rare thing to set up, such a concept!
I wonder what other dreams he would of had to do with his beloved Arsenal Forum, now of course
I/we will never know.
May his beautiful soul rest in peace and may his Forum, with all your help ( by visiting it ) live for
much longer.

Chelsea: Chicago Cubs owners confirm they will lead bid to buy club

Hmm...Tom Ricketts is rich, but not super rich. Worth a few billion. His dad founded Ameritrade, worth a few billion but has to be retired by now. I don't see sugar daddy spending like the Arab sheikhs. At least I hope not, if they do buy them.

UEFA confirm that CFC will play any future home fixtures in the CL competition behind closed doors.

Over to you, EPL.

The quoted $26.5 billion sounds like it would buy them a Mbappe or two.

I don’t know whether this was suggested in jest but surely that’s a valid suggestion now otherwise a clear unfair advantage Or The club should give their away allocation away at zero cost for the tickets to compensate for years of sport doping

My coworkers heard me say 'Oh my God!' and I said someone very important to me died. I didn't go into details because they wouldn't understand. We had a few things in common actually. Anyway, a sad day but what a legacy, huh? Most of us, if not all of us, could only wish to have such a legacy. His friend, a Man Utd fan, wearing an Arsenal shirt to his funeral put a tear in my eye. An acquaitence of mine who would lurk on here a bit, he's a fan of another club, said if I really cared about his site and legacy, then ease off the swear word laden back and forth with some of the members, even if you feel you are right. I said to myself, he's right. I changed how I post on here from that word. Blocked the ones that were trolling. I would have liked to meet him in person. It's a reminder that life is indeed short, make amends with whom you should, and don't if you don't feel it necessary so at the end, you have no regrets either way. Oz is definitely on my bucket list of places to visit.

Are you referring to Rangnick's comments about how Arsenal and Everton have also had a Russian oligarch who owned shares at one point? I took that more as the musings from a manager who doesn't understand what's going on, rather than an attempt from the club to drag Arsenal into the mess surrounding Chelsea. The fact that Usmanov was once a shareholder doesn't pose any threat to Arsenal simply because Arsenal isn't an asset of his that can be 'freezed'.

The moral outrage against Chelsea is really strange IMO. Completely agree. Chelsea and the Russian oligarchs are convenient scapegoats which will justify basically carrying on with the same model. The way I see it is the world, and especially the UK, have had several stark warnings about the dangers of hyperglobalisation, including the global financial crisis, Trump, Covid, and the Ukraine crisis. And the appropriate response isn't retreating to nationalism. It is principled multilateralism and regionalism (like the EU). Its a great pity the US was so arrogant and short-sighted in the 1990s and the opportunity was so badly bungled. But there you have it!

Man U are still too arrogant to do the rebuild they need, it’s been the same way every season since Fergie left. They’ve papered over the cracks by throwing money at players, some have worked, most haven’t but there has been no consistent message or goal or culture running through the club. I think they need to get rid of 75% of this squad, all on high wages and without any clubs really wanting them. They are where we’ve been. They will probably still throw more money at it

They will probably still throw more money at it I think this is very accurate, after a while the unsuccessful club just starts throwing massive contracts at the wrong players thinking it will fix it, then when it doesn’t boom change the manager, then when it still doesn’t work change the manager again and again because the alternative which is the actual truth is half the squad need to be shipped out and the rebuild will take time. Fans and club owners rarely want to accept the truth Last summer seemed a real moment of realisation for Arsenal. It wasn’t working so a long term plan was created and a young side developed. It can’t be a coincidence that since the introduction of these young players and it being visible that they are working together and trying their best the crowd has responded with the best atmosphere at the emirates since it was built.

Developing a culture is as important as the money. Having a Guardiola or Klopp at the helm, and with real buy in from the club, is priceless. There is a real identity and culture developing at Arsenal and we need to stick to the programme and avoid being distracted by shiny things.

Please take solace and pride in the fact that Steve's legacy , this forum brings so much joy to Gooners around the world. It is a place where i come to converse with the Arsenal family and it really is theraputic getting the frustrations and disappointment out of the system by discussing with fellow gooners but also sharing the joy of a victory! What a wonderful tribute that is to Steve. God Bless Him.

It's difficult to understand the reason for the delay - we know all our remaining fixtures and they know theirs - so why the mystery? The rescheduled Spurs match may not happen till May. Given now 3 rescheduled matches are spread throughout April. At least this was the speculation from a friend. Possibility of it being closer towards end of season.

UEFA confirm that CFC will play any future home fixtures in the CL competition behind closed doors. Over to you, EPL.
