Easily...Wenger probably makes more in a week than his most expensive player. Maybe it's aimed at Ivan Gazidis or whatever his name is.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

There are some good points about the season tickets. Gazidis' bonus is unjustifiable neither his commercial or the on-field performance warrant it. The rest ignores the financial realities or suggests we should invite gangsters on to the board.
I made a bit of money by backing the Gooners to finish top 4 when they were struggling last year (in fact I needed them to come 3rd) - at the moment they are still odds on for a top4 finish but will monitor the odds to see if a similar slide occurs
I've made money on that every year since 2006 (pays for the bet on winning the league if it doesn't get laid off first).
Shame you had to ruin it with the pointless bet on winning the league
Interesting to see your fans making some of the same demands as ours on the ticketing side - get rid of the AutoCupScheme, move Away fans etc
Arsene says there are 5 trophies: 1 Premiership 2 CL 3 CL qualification 4 FA Cup 5 League Cup
The Daily Arsenal should be fun tonight!
Financially it makes sense that qualifying for the CL is more important than winning the FA Cup.
But why can't Arsenal win the last two trophies? It seems they are only capable of doing one.

The League cup we use for developing youth players and the FA cup overlaps with league and CL. Neither are very important any more.
Wenger: "A new player doesn't want to know if you've won League Cup."
In today's game that is a fair point. Playing in the CL is all-important.

Spurs concede late goals.. we score late goals..
what the feck went wrong at OT then?

4 points between 4th & 10th.
It will be close between Arsenal and Spurs I think.
If it wasn't for the Monreal signing I would have said Spurs would edge it, but Arsenal have better firepower and are probably just about steady enough at the back.

The North London Derby is in three weekends time, after our cup game v Blackburn and a home game v Villa whilst Spurs travel to West Ham. I would hope we could narrow the gap down to maybe 2 points and then the derby would be massive.
What a game that promises to be.
What's that famous saying? "Never depend on Spurs."
Spurs seem to lose their head in the derby, I don't think it will be the decisive game for 4th spot. I think Spurs might lose that game but still go on to clinch the CL spot.
We need Spurs just to draw once and then it's in our hands. They've still got Man City at home, Chelsea away, Stoke away, all of this. I think they've still got to go to Wigan at the peak point of their revival.
Everton won't stay the pace, but it's not just between Spurs and Arsenal.
A top 4 finish for Chelsea is far from secure. And City must be very demoralised right now, so if they were to have another couple of blips then they too could easily be drawn into the dogfight.

Yeah playing Wigan during the last 6-7 games of the season is like playing Barça at times!
I think it's pretty unlikely that both Spurs and Arsenal will make it, and also pretty unlikely that either scouse club will be in the mix.
I don't see Arsenal finishing in Top 4 this season. Last season they had van Persie. This year, they seem to be struggling for goals.
Don't really think that is true.
They've scored a decent amount this season.
But Chelsea are stronger and Spurs are up there too.. It wont be easy.
