I thought you meant the once mighty Arsenal, not a team who has spent most of their time in football in the second tier, surely not??  ;)  ;)

Oh yes and I'm not going to say I told people so, but at last more are waking up to the idea that Wenger has to go if Arsenal are ever going to challenge properly again. :( :(

 Could this be the UBT that was praising Wengers loyalty just last week and comparing his trophy count to Chelsea ;-)

Dont be nasty Tinks, every dog has its day, and people have to have 5 mins claim to fame sometime in their life.  ;)

I went to the game all though Leeds were out played, their support is the best Ive seen. Six thousand plus never stopped singing the full match. They are a big club indeed.

The problem is - even if we get back into the Prem and get 40,000 per week how do we compete with a team that cost £205m?

The Leeds team was assembled at a cost of £1.3m! Our whole team probably earns about £150-£200k per week. Toure earns more than that!

I can't see 'fair play' changing things too much really.

We will get back eventually but breaking into the top four would cost hundreds of millions. I just pray they don't ask Ridsdale back  ;)

Your football knowledge is questionable if you think Leeds have spent most of their time outside the top tier of football!

Without FFP everyone stands a chance of attracting a "sugar daddy". With FFP the doors already shut.
