Arsenal Flip the Bird at Barfelona- in the Classiest Way Ever!

Oh the joys of being an Arsenal fan! Not only do we strive for beautiful, entertaining football, but we are, without a doubt, a class act. Witness the hard nosed aplomb with which the club has handled Barfelona's "official" request after months...no years... of them using the media to tap up Cesc. Here is the official statement from the club website. I included the whole thing because it's full of "back off you rule-breaking, classless, bullying hacks" gems.


"Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas is under contract with the Club until the summer of 2015. He is a highly-valued member of the team and part of our future plans.

"We have followed recent speculation linking Cesc with a move away from the Club but as there has never been any official approach for him, only two informal exchanges, in which we made it abundantly clear that we have no interest in transferring Cesc, we have refrained from publicly passing comment. However, yesterday evening we received an offer from Barcelona for Cesc and in response, we immediately and resolutely told them once again that we have no intention of selling our captain.
"To be clear, we will not make any kind of counterproposal or enter into any discussion. Barcelona have publicly stated that they will respect our position and we expect that they will keep their word."

The bits in bold font are from me as I would like to offer my own interpretation. I'm reading between the lines, but here is what I think the underlying message is for Barfa in those comments.

"Highly valued member of our team" - obviously, you didn't offer enough in the first place considering Cesc's abilities and his long-term contract which would have to be bought out you brainless twats (I'm not a Brit but I do love that word so I am offically stealing it for all Americans!)

"Part of our future plans"- and since that contract is until 2015, go look for someone else.

"We have refrained from publicly passing comment" - unlike you who should be officially sanctioned for tapping up poor Cesc for the last four years, morons.

"We immediately and resolutely told them once again that we have no intention of selling our captain." - So stop asking, stop talking, go manipulate some other player to help win your insipid Presidential election.

"We expect that they will keep their word" - which you probably won't and then there can be no denying the colorless, soulless, characterless cretins that you are.

I hope Cesc finally realizes who he is trying to join...who his "heart" really belongs to. I hope his father realizes it too. Why would you not want your son to play for a club that shows restraint, character and class - and who has developed your son into a world class player? He's one of the best on the planet, thanks to us. I hope Cesc has as good a PR department as Arsenal does to help repair any damage there is with the fans. There will probably be some trust issues, some doubt as to his committment when he takes the field next season. And lastly, here's hoping, too, that Cesc can be proud of how Arsenal has responded to the Catalans' pressure.

I know I am.

That's it for now. Take care you Gooners...until tomorrow.
