Lots of similarities now between the two. What have the two clubs in common? Score goals for fun, rubbish defences, neither apparently have a defensive coach, problems at board levels at board clubs, neither club seemingly with the ambition to win their respective divisions, top four will do Arsenal, top six Leeds. Both managers walking very tight lines at the moment. Lots of very unhappy fans at both clubs
Ok how about no... They have a world class manager, they have money to spend, they have a new ground that is paid for, they own there own training ground, they are in the premiership, were not, they are in the best european comp in the world, were a division away from playing in the St John's paint pot! They fill there ground, we don't, they don't have a dictator, we do!
I think even with all the problems they currently have it is unlikely they will ever truly fall from grace. A 'one off' poor season perhaps but them and all the others in the top 6 will probably be where they are now for the foreseeable future with the amount of money that is going their way.
If current form continueis, lets see how long they fill their ground for. They hardly own their ground, they owe several hundred million on it still. One of the most expensive clubs to watch same as us in our division. Onlynreaason they have money to spend is theyve sold their best players. Tomuse yourbown comparison, thsynarevabdivision away from the Championship
Wenger's given loads of money and is reluctant to spend it, but when he does, he gets good players. Grayson's given **** all money and needs some to spend, but still manages to get an average transfer yield. The teams are similar in that they're both quite short and young, and suffer from a lack of leadership and physical grit due to their failures to recruit properly in the transfer market. Then again, Arsenal brought in seemingly class players like Squillaci and Mertesacker, and we've had to plug away with Kisnorbo, O'Dea, Bromby and Bruce. So there is sort of a comparison to be made.
Leeds united 1 Arsenal 0 Fa cup final !972 Leeds united 1 Arsenal 0 league cup final 1968 Thats ****ing why
As unbelievable as Swansea being in the premiership? Scottish teams aren't allowed in the EPL so why are welsh? We beat Arsenal away in 2003 and were 1 minute away from beating them in the FA cup this year on their own turf. So of course you can mention Leeds in the same breath as arsenal....
