    But lets face it, Chav's would be no where without the russian.

    It's not that where bitching about how money directly contributed to this result, but overall, it's just sickening to see the richest clubs get rewarded with nigh garrenteed success.

    Whats the difference if a chairman has 80 million or 800 million. A zero. Who cares. Deal with it people and stop crying.

    Porto won the CL not too long ago with a decent team, a top class manager, luck and balls. They were even playing a hardly flush Monaco in the final, who had beaten Chelsea in the semis. They weren't crying about money.

    Montpellier if they don't bottle it are about to win the French League despite PSG's millions/billions. United took City to the last game of the season. People should stop whinging and realize that even though difficult, you can achieve stuff and win things without extreme amounts of money.

    They've only just scraped through on pens after parking the bus for the whole game and getting a 34 year old cup final specialist to salvage an equaliser for them. that wasn't money, just the luck of the cup/balls whatever you want to call it.

    After all my Muller jokes, I'm taking that as an insult.

    If Montpellier win it, watch as there best players, and manager get ripped apart from the club by the richer, bigger clubs. Happened to porto, happened to us, will continue to happen tbh. You don't need to be rich, or even good to get the odd cup win. But it almost certainly garentees you getting sustained success and the ability to hold on to your stars.

    I can't remember, but football is more than 20 years old you know. That's just the Premier League. Sky promised us a whole new ballgame and boy did they deliver. They neglected to mention it would be so shit and soul-less.

    Utd Earn't that money through winning things not just had it given to them thats the difference. They spent through what they made.

    And yes Chavs were lucky tonight really lucky.

    Its not always guaranteed, even though eventually they'll probably get success. As far as I see it, a rich businessman invests in a business and expects certain results/success from that business. Even if he gets that, it doesn't make all other similar businesses meaningless. Many still carve out niches for themselves and achieve their own sucesses, in spite of the gargantuan wealth of the big businessman.

    They don't use it as an excuse that all business is now dead and pointless because of those big businesses.

    Arsenal are hardly poor. With the stadium meant to propel us into the big league, 6 years later, maximising our resources should enable us to compete and hold our own. Not every player can be bought, you can only have a 25 man squad, I'm sure we can buy decent players and carve out our own successes, there are enough decent players to go around, instead of getting complacent and complaining about other people's money directly hindering us. There may be indirect ways, such as tapping up, but we're still largely in charge of our own affairs. Money has always been around, it shouldn't be an excuse.
