    Arsenal now lead the way in capital rich list

    The personal fortune of Alisher Usmanov has increased by more than £4billion in the last year but the Uzbek tycoon is no closer to gaining control of Arsenal.

    FourFourTwo's 2011-12 Rich List shows Usmanov's wealth now stands at £12.4bn, a £4.4bn rise over the past 12 months. He has a 29.28 per cent stake in Arsenal but lost his battle for majority control to US billionaire Stan Kroenke, who has a 66.82 per cent stake in the club.

    Usmanov is the second-richest Premier League owner behind Manchester City's Sheikh Mansour. Kroenke is eighth on the list with a fortune of £1.8bn. The pair's combined fortune make Arsenal the richest club in London, overtaking Queens Park Rangers. That is because Lakshmi Mittal, who owns a 33 per cent stake in the Loftus Road club, has seen £5bn wiped off his fortune, leaving him third in the list.

    Society is now one polished horde
    Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.

    "After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
