But I do think there has been a rise in extra defensive play to counter their style so in that respect Arsenal are a cause but at fault. Rio, i am hardly blaming Arsenal, i am an Arsenal fan.

Big Clubs should not be prevented from reinvesting revenue into the team. Some more parity would be good, but too much parity would be a bad thing. Having strong teams in traditional places like Man U, Liverpool, and Arsenal is good for the game. A salary cap would make it a traditionless entity like the National Football League.<br/><br/>I would suggest more of a revenue sharing plan, similar to Major League Baseball. It allows the successful clubs to stay successful, and if the money is dictated to be used for salary would allow the smaller teams to be more competitive.

If you cant afford to eat at the restaurant --- get out, sell you rteam to someone who can.<br/><br/>What Ive seen to date in the premiere league is some pretty crappy play. If the strikers hit the net a little more often thered be some more goals, amazing as that may sound. How many direct chances are shanked? How many crosses or shots wind up in row K? and im not just talking arsenal although they porbably lead the league.<br/><br/>This year Ive heard the schedule, world cup break, new pitches, mercury rising in venus and on and on about teams not performing, when does it end? To me the responsibility for this lies with theplayers. Rooney Gerrard Rosciky Fabregas Cole Ballack Henry Scxhevchenko, the list is long of plaeyrs counted on to score who havent stepped up to the plate. All by the way playing under fairly attack minded coaches.<br/><br/>If you want a salary cap watch the Championship division zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I love the post blaming arsenal, simultaneously leading the league in creating and not capitalizing on chances and amongst the leaders in scoring, and playing the most attractive football outside of barcelona.
