Beaten only by Mathieu Flamini.

Wenger has always had a penchant for extremely mediocre players, even our title winning sides had their share of Pascal Cygans, Grimaldi's and Glen Kamaras.

It must be frustrating having these idiotic players fuck up at key times. Last night was a bad loss TBH, those are the teams Arsenal need to beat regularly if they are to actually win the title.

True. To be fair, we had an unreal number of injuries yesterday, but that happens all the time with us, and Wenger's insistence on keeping players like Flamini, Arteta and Gibbs is what causes us to drop points like this. Those players have performed extremely poorly for years now, yet they keep getting contract extensions, and get paid a lot of money for players of their ability(making us unable to sell them easily, even if we wanted to). Wenger does not have a ruthless streak like some of the other big managers, those players would never have survived all those years under an Ancelotti, Pep or Mourinho.

I seriously feel for players like Sanchez and Ozil who have to play with the pile of shit we have, especially when they came from elite teams with elite players in Real and Barca.

EPL. :rofl:

The fact Leicester City is on top of the table 13 matches into the season speaks volumes about the quality of that league right now. So much money spent and so little quality. Leicester City. FFS. @Fred you should be embarrassed that Arsenal is behind that team.

That's even worse... spent zero money on upgrading team, with all that money in the club coffers, and now behind Leicester City in table.

Leicester is a good story. We'll know how good they are on New Years Eve. Starting this week they have Manchester United, Swansea, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, and Man City one after the other.

Chelsea Announces £23.1m Loss in Latest Financial Accounts

Chelsea made a loss of £23.1 million in the 2014-15 season, during which the club won the Premier League and the Capital One Cup.

The west London outfit announced its financial results for the year ending June 30, 2015, on Monday, and despite its losses, it maintained in the statement that the club remains "comfortably within the allowable limits" of UEFA’s financial fair play regulations.

Revenues amounted to £314.3 million, and its losses contrasted starkly with the £18.4 million profit the club made in the previous year, per Simon Johnson in the Evening Standard.

Johnson relayed the comments of Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck, who was quick to highlight the positives in the latest results:

Chelsea Football Club has been consistent in our intention to comply with FFP and it was a primary aim in the past financial year to be one of the clubs with a continuous record of meeting the regulations, which we have achieved.
To record the second highest turnover figure in the club’s history despite the Champions League campaign ending at the earliest knockout round demonstrates our business is robust, and is testament to good work regarding our commercial activities, our growing fanbase around the world and the tremendous support the team received at home and away matches in 2014/15.

As noted by Buck, Chelsea's exit at the last-16 stage from the 2014-15 UEFA Champions League was a contributing factor to the disappointing financial results.

There will now be concerns over future financial figures considering the club's chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League are very slim. The Blues, owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, currently lie 15th in the Premier League and 12 points back from Arsenal in the fourth and final qualifying spot for Europe's top club competition.
