Good acheivement at this stage, i hope that after they go out of Europe, our rivals dont have a knee jerk reaction and sack their rookie manager- after all, 3rd , well if 2nd is celebrated.....3rd will be venerated; id expect fireworks and car park parties if they go 4th!

I am not attacking Arsenal. Just like I am not saying everything is rosey with Rangers. I am just saying you can hardly turn on a radio sport show or tv show these days without hearing people going on about the decline of Arsenal. So its a pretty cheap shot lording it over the SPL when Arsenal are a state.
And you can kid yourselves on that the SKY money has nothing to do with anything. If Rangers and Celtic had been playing in the EPL for the last 10 -15 years and had been getting the SKY money we would at least have a chance of competing.
SKY money and the marketing of the clubs and the product and everything that goes with it help you to build the Emirates, it helps you to get bigger sponsor deals and it helps you to fill the stadium week to week. Yes Wenger has done a good job over the years - but SKY has as much to do with it than anything else.
And as for the tax. Rangers are happy to pay the tax bills they believe they owe. The big case against us is the same case thats been brought against other clubs who thought they were using a legitimate work around. The case hasnt been settled yet so its a bit early to say we arent paying our bills.
And again - its a bit rich an arsenal fan criticising our financial dealings - when around the time we were using tax work arounds one of your most successful managers was regularly accepting large brown envelopes stuffed with cash from agents.

If we had the sky money we would have blown it all by now and Celtic would be the balance sheet champs of the whole of Europe

" I just find it ammusing ..."
I feel the same about your command of English.
And, Adu-Derby.... how did your failure of a manager get on after he stated he would definitely NOT let Fabregas and Nasri go, under any circumstances, as if this happened it would be a disaster and Arsenal could not afford this to happen?
Now.... GTF off the Champions board. Have you not got any shops to loot?
Pffft

See...if its the worst article ever, i guess thats a backhanded compliment from hurtin bhoys.
And criticism from an Arsenal fan at the moment? Being bitten by sooty would hurt more

I'm not criticising your team. I'm actually Scottish and have a lot of time for Rangers. And i also know my clubs faults a lot more than use do. I criticised the OP for being a tool

But you couldnt resist trying to have a pop.
We know the SPL isnt in great shape. But at least we accept that.
How long before Van Persie walks? And then what have you got left? Wilshire?
Beyond him you have a very mid table look about you.

You may be too young to remember abu, (as I am) but my dad tells me when it was a level playing field, (no sky money) Rangers played a good few friendlies with Arsenal to help them financially.
