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.

I'll add a think here
I think I have a ticket for the FA Cup Final....oh hang on a second, nope I know that for a fact as it's now in my hand as I sit here typing this one handed :)
I'd just like to ask all you "armchair Arsenal" supports who is ACTUALLY making the trip to Cardiff with a ticket in their possession right now?
Or more to the fact if you haven't even got a ticket, are you going to make the trip to Cardiff to show your support?
The only person on here who I expect to see in Cardiff is Wookiee and if I see him I'd be only too willing to shake his hand and wish him luck, the rest of you BAH!

I think you'll all realise that Arsenal's weaker aquad are better than Southampton.
I also think that you'll all realise that this match didn't mean anything to either teams and played their second string.
I think you'll all realise that Arsenal took out their frustrations against the saints after losing the title.
I think you all realise that we are in for a decent final since the prem match had 7 goals in it.
I think the Saint will win.
I think I should stop thinking..
adios.

I dont think it matters too much who had the weaker side as the scoreline didn't effect the league much at all. One thing is for certain though, it will be (as deadmetal said)a much more closely fought match in the final. Well almost certain, i doubt southampton will let there dream slip by easily and even if we do thrash them it would be a rather boring final, as finals are meant to be edge of seat stuff.

And I'll think you'll find that we fielded only 2 regulars - Henry and Pires. Southampton lacked Ormerod and Beattie (who came on in the 70th-odd minute.

Just saw a Pires goal, it was simply brilliant. He lobbed the keeper from outside the penalty box. Pure Skill.
Can't wait to see it on the BBC this morning
Hmm of course but we played understrength.
Except maybe Henry and Pires.
Southampton did look like they played some of their first team players in defence. Anyway Pires' Hat Trick goal was brilliant.

Because the pressure was off.
Without the pressure your French fairy manager was able to talk his rubbish without it meaning anything.
So the Arsenal players start to think they can play like a team again.
They won last season with a strong run, and were never put under any pressure, but the reason why they so disappoint in the Champions League is that with two league stages, the pressure is piled on early. Poncy French managers just can't hack it.
