The dramatic news that Manchester U’s sponsors, insurance giant AIG has gone to the Federal Reserve in America, asking for a loan of around $40 billion to avoid being downgraded by ratings agencies, has shocked everyone involved in football finance. We all know that the financial markets are in a mess – but it is…
Early season league tables can be misleading – but they can also be fun. You know the joke – “Let’s read the league table – first Tottenham Hotspur… oh sorry I’m holding it upside down.” But even allowing for early season what-nots there must surely be a twinge of concern in the faces of Mr…
To say that the disaster against Fulham realised all our worst fears is nonsense. It was a terrible display – rather similar to watching Arsenal in the 1960s – but that doesn’t mean its all over for the season, and we can write everything off now. The same players as we saw at Fulham have…
Going into the Fulham match Arsenal had 8 players unavailable: Silvestre, Eduardo, Rosicky, Diaby, Fabgregas, Senderos, Bischoff and Vela. No other club had disruption on that scale.
