Lets face it, these days it doesn't matter who you are, as soon as you enter the Premier League you automatically become one of the 30 wealthiest football clubs in the world, so a prime target for an investor.

Seems he's made most of his money in hedge funds, say no more.

Get the money, take what you can, sell at a later date for more than you bought.

Invest none of your own money, take the profits. Team has nothing to show for it.

If the American(s) turns out to be like your Russian co-owner, then it's probably good news. Stays in the background, lets Eddie get on to do his thing, and throws a few quid in the direction of some new signings.

But on a more hands on approach could spell the end of Eddie, and who knows maybe even a return for Harry...

Another poor game for Sterling ends with him being subbed.

His decision making is dire at times.

Arsenal could go top tonight, though they'll have to beat a dogged Spurs side.

Agreed. Throw in was poor but he compounded the bad sportsmanship with his attempt to score from the resulting corner.

A very unsavoury incident.

My theory id The Ferguson Factor.

Man Utd were always the team to beat so other teams had to up their game. Every week to compete. At least four or five did year in year out. Now Fergie has gone and Utd are not so good (If you can call 4th place not so good) that other teams don't try so hard anymore, hence the inconsistent results.

Great result for Arsenal that. Injury list as long as their arm, just been smashed by Bayern, and were totally outplayed for at least 45 minutes today. Indeed, with better head placement from Giroud, the scoreline would have been a comfortable win.

Two week international break now. Hopefully one or two players will be back come their next match.

He said he was the normal one. All pretty normal so far.

They go to Chelsea next. If Chelsea win that, they'll go above Liverpool. That's the same Chelsea who are having a season worse than anyone could ever have predicted.


Still found no reason to change this view, yet. Defeat at home to Palace is a poor result.

Wow, they've beaten Chelsea and Bmouth so far. It's not like that's unique at the moment.

He might yet turn out to be a great appointment, but unlike most, I'm very much in the wait and see camp.

He's got his work cut out, not a great squad, defence consistently shipping goals, and with Sturridge injured the attack is pretty impotent. Benteke hasn't done much yet, I don't rate him that highly.
