Fair Trade Sports (Free subscription) | yesterday

Reading the opinions of Arsenal fans on various football websites is starting to get funny. Whatever Wayne Rooney says about the league being between Chelsea, United and Arsenal, we know Wayne probably isn't the guy to go to for incisive analysis. It seems that a lot of the Gooners aren't over their six months of embarrassingly pre-emptive gloating last season. First off, it took Arsenal a late equaliser...

I've just finished reading the latest edition of the Gooner that I got at the game last weekend. In it there were two articles that underlined the battle going on between two distinct camps of Arsenal fans. One was basically saying that we HAVE to win the Champions League or Premier League this season whilst the other was pointing out that we have no divine right to win anything and that success is...
