Arsenal and top 4

Well considering the amount of money other clubs have spent to get ahead, or be competitve to us Arsenal have and will continue to receive justifible plaudits.

Bottom line football is a business and eventually all clubs will have to start balancing the books with or with out fair play rules. As like Chelsea are slowly finding out evetually these super rich owners who are not "football" people will get bored and will no longer want to keep shelling out of their own pockets.

Spending huge amounts of money does not guarantee success otherwise Real Madrid would win everything and Chelsea would have won a Champions League title by now.

Our manager has simply tried to maximise Arsenal potential on and off the pitch and yes in the mean time we have fallen short in winning trophies, but in the long term the club will be on solid financial ground and still have a team capable of beating anyone on their day.

Also, apart from the League Cup final last year, and losing to Stoke in the FA Cup season before that we have been beaten in competitions by clubs who have spent literally 100s of millions of pounds and and reaching the very late stages of the Champions League.

Good shout, we should all hope for the EPL. <applause

Y'know, because we're only 17 points off
