I myself am an Arsenal fan, but can we realistcly compete with Manchester United?
As it stands Arsenal are in £40m debt, whilst building a £400m new staduim.
If Arsenal don't win something next season their debt could shoot up.
Still Wenger says he will bring new players in for next season, but with what money i would like to ask.
In Man U's case they are the richest English club, and with the likes of Kluivert and Rhonaldhino on the brink of sighning for them they can only get stronger as a team and even with big name signings they still have plenty to spend. As long as Arsenal stay in debt they cannot compete for big name sighnings, which obviously big clubs need to be able to do.
My other worry is that with our debt we will find it hard to keep hold of our own star players due to not being able to afford new contracts. Wenger has already hinted that sighning contracts with Henry, Pires and Viera will be a hard task and reporters have added we may not be able to keep hold of them. However, Viera has today pledged his future to Arsenal, but Pires looks very uncertain.

As an Arsenal fan i am very worried, it's unlikely that a club of Arsenal's stature could go into administration, but look what happened to Fiorentina.

Don't panic mate, its very unlikely Arsenal will go into administration, but if we win the FA cup (hopefully), that may provide a bit more cash.

Can anyone back me up here?

I hope so. But you've got to realise this (and this goes for all Arsenal fans), Southampton are only playing a weak squad. They WILL give us the match of the season for that trophy. They've waited 27 years to win it.

Your DAMN RIGHT we have!

Tonight was always going to be one sided, there's no way we were going to put our best players out on the pitch to risk getting injured.

See you all in Cardiff

I take it you ARE ALL GOING? Ticket or no ticket?

And yes I will be there as I'm a season ticket holder :D
