i have the feeling that Arsenal gonna pawn Stoke City kao kao

Yes, crucial match and Arsenal have to win it.

It will be really hard for us to reach the level of Barca and especially Real. These teams are like the Rolls Royce of football and unlike Ajax, PSV and etc, Real Madrid in particular were always the top team since those days and they've attracted the big names in football since those days. What im trying to say here is, they have something what you call history and heritage that we'd never be able to achieve and the difference between Real and Ajax, Real never really had a downtime; like a period of time they won nothing for 15-20 years. Liverpool looked invincible in the 80's where they won so much but right now, they're going thru a bad patch. Man Utd was nothing in the 70's and 80's, so was Arsenal, Chelsea and etc. Real Madrid had consistently won trophies for years.

As for the issue of Real selling their training ground when heavily in debts. What happen i think was that they sold their training ground which was in prime land, in which they sold to the state. In return, Real developed that piece of land and made a handsome amount of money which translated to profit. I think there's some misconception that Real was bailed out by selling that land but the truth is, they sold is and developed it into some business district and made tonnes of money out of it. Much like what Arsenal did to Highbury now and we hope we'll see the benefits soon. Fact of the matter is, Perez and gang turned Real Madrid into a money making business entity and they use the brand or the identity of Real Madrid to maximise their marketability. You must give it up to Perez or the former directors for turning them into such a rich club much like how we should give our hats up to the marketing guys at Man Utd for turning them into a brand. Of coz when the club is winning trophies, its easier to market it.

yesss.....if we win today match, 3 pts away from table leader.

another goal from city... the BIG Winner tonite is Wayne Bridge!!

A win would take us within 3 pts of the leader..

Could very well define our season. Can we do it?

Like I said, only those truly involved will know whether Madrid the city gave Madrid the club a helping hand or not by paying over the odds to begin with. And if they really did, it won't be surprising since the club is one of the main attractions of the whole of Spain, not just the capital. Real Madrid's board deserves praise for marketing the club into a global brand, although I personally wouldn't want to see our club act the way they do in terms of financial bullying and constant tappping up of other players via the Spanish media. Barcelona is equally guilty of this.

It would be hard for us to achieve the big club status, but we are on the right track towards that direction. Every club has to start somewhere. I do agree that it won't be achieved in the near future; it will take many decades to do so. Lifting the champions league trophy would be a huge boost though. Not winning it seems to deny us the recognition a big club deserves, although the trophy seems to bring Mourinho more fame than it did to Porto.

Marketing wise, we haven't been the best in the past. Our fan base is still lagging behind other teams in the Asia-Pacific region where fans are more hardcore in terms of spending compared to places like Africa and Middle East where Arsenal seems to garner more support.
