Very
interesting receipes i like it i am having fun
with new receipes and enjoying and losing weight at the same
time...: — RRB - thanks
Although many will suggest that Robson has a personal vendetta of sorts aimed squarely at the Grinch who stole soccer, that doesn't make his words any less truthful... such tactics are nothing
new... in the U.S.this business practice has become so common that even the players regularly use the media to manipulate public opinion (LeBron James did likewise to rally public support for himself and away from his teammate, Kyrie Irving, who has asked to be traded)... whether for contract leverage or to rally support for or against certain players, this strategy can be incredibly effective at
times, but when it misses the mark it can be dangerously divisive... for a close - to - the - vest team like Arsenal to use such nefarious means to manufacture a wedge between the fans and it's best player (again), is absolutely despicable... for the sanctimonious higher - ups who demand that it's players adhere to a certain protocol regarding information deemed «in house» or else to intentionally spread «fake» news or to provide certain outlets
with privileged information for such purposes is pretty low indeed... no moral high ground here, just a big club pretending to be a small club so that they can continue to pull the wool over the eyes of a dedicated, albeit somewhat naive, fan base... so not only does this club no give a shit about it's fans, this clearly shows that clubs primary
interests aren't even soccer related... for all intent and purposes Kroenke doesn't care if we're a soccer club or a tampon factory as long as we continue to maximized his investment... stay woke people... great to see more and more people commenting on the state of the franchise... this club needs to be held accountable for it's actions
I do not even think we will be season Mert for a long
time,
with a
new CB coming in its going to be
interesting

nice to see you crawl out of your hole just in
time to offer your 2 cents worth once again... unlike yourself I started following this team long before Wenger arrived on the scene and will continue to do so long after he's gone... in his earlier years I admired the cerebral elements he brought to the EPL, which at that point was more brutish than beautiful, and I respected the seemingly tireless efforts of Arsene, Dein & staff to uncover and develop talent without sacrificing the product on the field... likewise I appreciated that such a youthful manager wasn't afraid to bring strong personalities and / or world - class players into the fold without being fearful of how said players would potentially undermine and / or dilute his authority... unfortunately this all changed about 10 years ago and culminated in the removal of all our greatest players, both young and old, without any real replacements coming in... from Henry to RVP to Fabergas and Nasri, it was easy to see that this club was no longer
interested in competing at the highest levels... instead of being honest, minus the ridiculous claims regarding the
new stadium, Wenger chose to side
with management and in doing so became the «front man» for this corporation pretending to be a world - class soccer club... without the «front man» this organization would have been exposed numerous years earlier, so his presence was imperative if the facade was to continue... it's for this reason and more that I despise what this once great man and Kroenke has done to my beloved club... the gutless, shameful and manipulative way they have treated the fans, like myself, is largely indefensible and this is why I felt it necessary to start offering my opinion in a public format... trust me, I resisted the temptation for many years but as long as the same shit continues to exist I will voice my opinions and if you don't like it maybe you should look for a different team to pretend to follow

with Mark Hughes about succeeding Neil Warnock as manager,
with the hope that a

with French money bags Paris Saint - Germain looked like going through in the summer, but Taarabt later blamed political differences for the transfer ultimately collapsing, leaving him frustrated at having to stay in England.The mercurial Moroccan has
interest from a host of top European clubs, but his conduct in the last few months, including walking out of QPR's 1 - 0 win over Chelsea at half -
time and consistently admitting he wants to leave, have left many questioning his attitude and professionalism.However, Qatari side Al - Sadd have not been put off, and made their move for Taarabt last week, only to pull out of a deal after being told it would take a whopping # 15 million to convince them to sell.That sort of figure also rules out Newcastle and Aston Villa as potential destinations,
with the thought now that QPR will hang on to Taarabt until at least the summer, where they hope Taarabt could spark a bidding war, after being rejuvenated under a
new manager and firing the club to Premier League safety.
