Hardly conclusive evidence but with the suggestion that the increased TV payments have been a great leveler, Clive, making those post European games much harder, it may well be a bigger factor going forward

    Seems to be an issue unique to England, doesn't it. Everywhere else, the best players and teams are the ones that play the most games. Indeed that's *why* they're the best.

    Don't get me wrong if you bring a anti wenger banner to a game you are clearly a wrongun.

    Wenger should have jacked it in after the 2 fa cup wins imo.
    Over one hundert million quid a year at the gate; Arsenal supporters are the best in the world, I reckon.
