Its based on the premise that we should be spending as much as Chelsea and Manu or even newcastle, Spuds, Liv etc. Unfortunately most of those teams (Man u excepted - they are unfortunately running a good business) are currently playing fantasy football (massive losses each year), with rich benefactors paying the way for big transfers and big losses. Arsenal are run properly and this will ensure that we are kept very close to the top of the bunch (with the possibility of the odd trophy - we were 1 game away from winning the league this year - if we had beaten utd instead of losing to them the league would now be ours) for years to come. I'm sure you'd prefer to be where we are rather than where Leeds are now - they were within a gnats whisker of getting to the top and blew it because they lost the run of themselves. I'm sorry, but Wenger has kept us at the top and he does know best. Have faith, he will deliver, maybe not this year, maybe not the next, but when Abramovich gets 20 years in a siberian salt mine, we will still be rosy. AKB.

I would say that both European finals are not exactly an advertisement for football.. Rangers main objective is too get 0-0 drwas at home .. great, aint it?? no need to question Chelsea's motivations either .. GNR .. spot on..

I'm delighted they are relegated and I hope they are never seen in the prem again. Dirk Kuyt and Peiter the Cheater Vink, evil buddies from school will both end up rotting in a hell where Peiter chews Dirks nob off while Alex Hleb looks on eating shit-flavoured ice-cream with his agent Bigshit Shitileshvky. The f*cking ignorant twat who made the end of season MOTD montage and the only Arsenal footage he found to include was shots of Gallas fuming at Birmingham. Wigan's groundsman. Holland.

In any season mistakes are made, one could point to Ade's misses, diabolical refereeing mistakes, Bendtner's 'clearance from Fab's shot (1st leg CL). Where I do agree is regarding the Flam/Diarra affair. It was chronically short-sighted, We had a good season GMR.

How abysmal is the UEFA cup. I've just seen Rangers qualified for the final by playing 8 games, they won just 2, got 5 draws & lost 1. They scored 5 goals & conceded 2. I know that at the end of the day winning is the most important thing but if I was a supporter of theirs I just couldn't be proud that my team had played for penalties in every round. How can a team like that deserve anything!! bigraddy, its all true though!!

I would take Deco also, veteran who seems unsettled. Know he is not young but still quite the player and who would doubt him being able to fit the system? What do you think Pedro? Or bojan!
