    Who cares where he is from. Multi Billionares all drink from the same Trough. They all know each other to some degree.

    These EPL clubs who sold out to private owners are going to be on shaky ground in years to come if they do not have good back up plans.

    Man City are a good example-money to burn but they still don't threaten the top rungs yet

    That situation cannot continue as it is for long.

    You will never learn anything if you don't "care" WYL. Fact is he is no shiek. Which you intimated he is.

    He is the main owner of an investment bank. Another credit squeeze (a real one, not like last years Blip) could see him lose a lot of that wealth very quickly.

    That i do know having followed the futures markets over the past few years.

    Anyway HT do you know if there is a website where i can stream Tomorrow mornings game? That is far more important than the on going survival of Young Roman the Ruski.

    Some interesting results this morning! Must admit, I thought the Gunners season was over, but there is a pulse! Fortunate however, clear handball from Fabregas in the last play of the match from Gerard, looked like it was going in!

    Yes, i was stoked. 12 more games against lower clubs. The Gunners are still just in there.

    Yes we were lucky, but we were stiff against chelsea (played well but just couldn't crack it) so i will take today..

    Victory grand final into extra time.

    We were completely out of it until the equalizer then had chances to win it in the last ten.

    Both sides couldve got a second goal, and probably a winner.

    Thompson's injury has been a killer

    Come on you Spurs!

    Do yourself a favour and get onto the highlights at some stage today.

    Danny Rose, 9 minutes into his first match - what a strike!

    Saw it! 1 of the goals of the year. Ends the Gunners chances too, if they weren`t already finished before the game. Their injury list resembles the Dees of the past 3 years!

    Considering our injury list, it has been a mighty season.

    True! Boy we have missed Van Persie. He looked pretty good in patches the other night!Having him alone may have seen some results turned! Even Fabregas, despite playing a large chunk of the season has been injured more often than not. Happy with 3rd possie, maybe 2nd!

    Must say, I do enjoy watching Arsenal play and obviously being from West Footscray and having never travelled to England it's hard to feel hatred (or anything close) towards them.

    I understand them as a massive rival and dislike them as a "big 4" team - but they're very good to watch and have done very well this season with only Fabregas (in patches!)

    Its been a cracker year with half a forward pack, and half the budget of the other top sides. Respect to Arsenne i say.

    Shucks thanks 45!! We are hated but never as much as chelsea or ManUre!!

    Unlucky against Wigan. That was the comeback to top all comebacks. It took them 80 minutes to realise that Sol Campbell is too old and slow these days and you can just run around him.

    Meanwhile my beloved Blues got done in the dying seconds against Man-ure. Again. Although I do like Scholes so if anyone was to head home a late winner I'm glad it was him.

    This season was heading towards a fitting and quite pleasing conclusion with Chelsea or Arsenal to steal a fourth title from Ferguson's claws (Chelsea to do so comfortably), and Citeh to play Champion's League football next year. In one week it's all gone to [censored].

    What an amazingly sad way for the gunners to go down, but still a good season regardless of the next few weeks.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
