The pain of yesterday's mauling is likely to linger for a while. I still can't think straight
and it's impossible to digest that we could be so naïve, almost idiotic. This isn't a new feeling
either. We have been outplayed in the big matches with mind numbing regularity in the recent past.
It's as if all of us deserve shock treatment every few months for being mentally challenged enough
to support the Arsenal.

Landon Donovan's Everton journey has yet to begin, but the last piece of the puzzle fell into
place today. The final hang up in the process was a work permit allowing Donovan to secure the
10-week loan agreement with the Liverpool-based club.
Poor Arsene Wenger. In the space of a week, the wily, old voyeur (just kidding) has
seen his football philosophy completely crushed. While the likes of Chelsea and more
recently Manchester City have thrown millions into the transfer market in an attempt to
‘buy' silverware and fast-forward their club's progress, Arsene Wenger has continually
professed a more frugal approach – spending within one's own budget and not relying on
billionaire bankrollers.
What 'fit and proper person' test?
Pompey's revolving door ownership continues. The theme is the same, they are all bankrupt.
Meanwhile, the club is getting indebted to a Hong Kong based businessman called Balram Chainrai who
is footing the player's wages and he is not even part of the ownership.
All that money that Sky must have used up on making Dream Team, they might as well of not
bothered and instead just put cameras in and around QPR football club. After three eventful years
that have included six managers, a chairman being threatened at gunpoint, new billionaire owners
and untimely deaths to young players, today we have the latest episode in the Loftus Road
drama.
According to Elliot Ball at Sky Sports News, billionaire Alisher Usmanov
purchased more Arsenal shares to increase his stake 26.07%.
Stan Kroenke currently owns 29.9% of the Arsenal shares after purchasing a
bunch of shares last month.
Normally when the word "administration" comes up in football, it concerns clubs which languish
in League 2, or maybe League 1. In the past there as been occasion of teams in the English
Championship that have been threatened, and even a few that have suffered the penalty.
Right now, Southhampton (L-1), Salisburty City (Conf) and Chester City (Conf) are suffering the
effects of Administration.

Most of us would agree that it appears very likely that Stan Kroenke may be the new owner of
Arsenal Football Club in the near future. The American billionaire has been slowly purchasing
shares for more than a year now and is on the verge of having the magic 30 per cent number that
will require him to make a formal takeover bid.
The decade of the Galactico and the underdog, of Becks in America and billionaire owners in
England, of the Moggiopoli scandal and ZiZi's headbutt.
