Anyone who is familiar with my style of prose will know that I did not
write that line immediately. :-)

They will indeed know you didn't write it that's why it states
"corrected for accuracy"

Such blind faith and optimism.

Shame it's been influenced by inaccurate spin.

Arsenal are no more or less safe than United and Liverpool. In many ways
they're significantly less safe as their assets won't even cover their
debts.

It will be interesting to see if Fabregas stays or goes this summer.

I reckon Arsenal are two or three top-quality players short of champions
potential, most obviously lacking a top class goalie and a free-scoring
striker who can hold the line.

Every club counts as an asset intangibles such as global branding and
goodwill, but they're not things you can sell when you get into
