Not sure what point there is in listing a top 10. UEFA rankings currently have us 9th ahead of Utd. But Porto, Benfica, Schalke are ahead of us. Man City, June and Dortmund didn't even make the top 10.

Eh? Porto and Schalke aren't ahead of us.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
And Wenger's won several league titles over here in the past, defeating Man Utd's stranglehold on the league at the time despite them (and plenty of others at the time) spending considerably more money than us. His standards only starting slipping when unsurprisingly money became tight after the stadium move and two petroclubs with unlimited money also showed up.
Club world cup..... we might as well start including our Emirates Cup and Barclay's Asia Cup wins then.
The only thing Benitez really has over Wenger is his CL trophy and a few fine margins either way and that could have been a different story. Henry putting away that chance for us or the ref not falling for Stevie G going over easily to win that penalty.
He failed at Inter and struggled to find work after that for a few years and was forced to accept a humiliating "interim" position at Chelsea where he was abused and jeered on a daily basis by their fans who hated him. At Napoli he spent a shit load of money to turn a team that was qualifying for the CL into a team who didn't and yet bizarrely that was enough for Perez to offer him the Real job mainly because they had no one else to turn to after sacking everyone else already.
He may be revered by Valencia fans and a section of weird deluded Scousers but for a lot of the footballing community he'll always be considered a clown.
Pretty arbitrary way to determine things. Real had a similar issue during the 00's after the 02 triumph and before Mourinho came in going for a long stretch without getting past the last 16 and no one questioned the status as a top club during that time.
Fact is that we're easily a top ten team in terms of money, fanbase, infrastructure, appeal etc etc. The only teams definitively ahead of us are the four mega clubs: Bayern, Real, Barca and Man Utd.
The Headline:
What was actually said:Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey flattered by talk of Barcelona interest after revealing he wants to experience playing in Spain
The media:'Obviously it's very flattering. One day I would like to go over to Spain to play just to see what it's like and to experience that, but at the moment I'm with Arsenal and I feel like this Arsenal team can go and be successful and challenge for things.

It says 7th for me, though in reality Benefica shouldn't be above us and likewise PSG and Juve probably shouldn't be below us.
