Qatari Investment In Arsenal

[freeglennhelder2]

Chilling in the crowd today. The conspiracy theorists are saying Ek was probably hoping for a loss

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

It probably was an invite from Josh kroenke

 

[jjmcjohnson]

It's a shame they decided to buy Newcastle instead of Arsena

 

[gunner4lyfe]

Want to bet they will do like City did and target Arsenal's players first? Lol

any player who wants to go to Newcastle now for bigger pay checks is welcome to leave, as far as I'm concerned

if they start winning stuff then that would be different

 

[Paperino]

A brief note: It is not the qataris who have bought Newcastle.

I think they're even worse option than Qatar. The genocide they have done in Jemen is atrocious stuff.

 

[Tom Mix]

As opposed to the nicer genocides elsewhere?

What was Qatar's genocide? Have you read about Jemen?

I'm not comparing to any other country now, if you can understand that.

Where is that bump police dude when you need him FFS

I have read about Yemen. No idea about Qatar, but there are those who accuse them of being responsible for thousands of deaths in the construction of the world cup stadiums alone. Russia (and Soviet Union) is responsible for millions of deaths and no-one bats an eyelid about Chelsea being owned by Abramovich. The US foreign policy has also caused untold numbers of deaths, yet there are several US owners of premiership clubs

My point was that a genocide, by definition, is always going to be atrocious. Otherwise it wouldn't be a genocide.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

£300m for Newcastle... how much will Stan hold out for us?

 

[yorch44]

Are we now the new Newcastle FC battling in the mid table?

 

[TinFish]

Well this sends Arsenal into the grave. We will never crack top 4 now. Lucky to even get top 6 at a push going forward.

Even a mere billionaire isn't enough to compete. We have states now

 

[Oxeki]

Think we'll take Newcastle's place.

State owned vs owners who share the same nationality.

The US foreign policy has nothing to do with Kroenke or the Glazers etc.

I don't know why you fans accept these takeovers to occur but then go and protest super league in your thousands. Both long term damage the state of football.

 

[Maybe]

95% of the fans were sucking Neville's speech on Sky getting goosebumps on their skin, went straight to the protests after it or they were all over the internet "saving football". The number of idiots out there is surreal

There is no logic in mentioning state owned clubs with clubs owned by private persons etc.

The death toll from 2015 is estimated to be about 230 000 people, and thousands of children. UN estimates about 11 million children and in total 24 million people are in need of humanitarian help and in danger of dying of starvation and so on. Over third of the 20 000 - 60 000 airstrikes have hit civilian infrastructure targets, making living very hard, and hit things like water wells.

Also US is with Saudis in this war, and they have limited any supplies Jemen gets, like even food.

So maybe you can understand that there are levels to things. This is the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and it continues.

For your information, I opposed Qatar owning Arsenal from the start, but I would oppose Saudi ownership much more.

Umm, what? We should go protest Newcastle's new owners, like that would do anything, or otherwise be that much of our business?

Super league was about us, this is not. This is a strawman argument.
