PREMIER LEAGUE STATEMENT
The Premier League has welcomed the changes as voted for by the Football Association's shareholders in favour of the reforms proposed by the FA Board in response to the Lord Burns' report.

"We are extremely pleased they have been adopted and look forward to working with The FA under the new structures.

"The success today is very much down to Geoff Thompson and Brian Barwick and his team, and we all owe them our thanks for the work they've done.â€￾

The transfer window hasn't opened yet, let alone closed...........we will see who ends up in a BLUE shirt for the coming season.

Can't see the Gunners finishing in the top 3 next season though

yes i can

roman abramovich has said he isnt spending much more cash on u chumps..

this year was huge for arsenal

all there youngsters got much needed experience

dont count them off yet

they just need one, or two maybe decent experienced signings and they will be a force...

Van Peirse is probably one of the must under rated blokes in the premiership for my count

can be deadly

ROMAN: I`LL KEEP SPENDING
Posted 30/05/07



Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has dismissed reports that he will cut his spending on new players as "nonsense".


The Russian gave a rare interview to Ekho Moskvy radio station in which he denied media reports that he would give manager Jose Mourinho a tiny transfer budget this summer after spending £250m over the last four years.


"This is absolute nonsense," said Abramovich. "Everything will remain the same. My relationship with Chelsea has not changed and I wouldn't want to change anything."


Those comments are a little different to those he made in December in his only British interview with The Observer.


Then he said: "Our strategy is to bring up our own players through the academy, which we have invested a lot in, and hope it gives results. We will be spending less in the transfer market in future years."


With an open chequebook Chelsea may well target Argentine forward Carlos Tevez rather than cut-price options like Blackburn's Benni McCarthy.

dont write off arsenals youngsters for next season just yet they did pretty wel against chelsea in the carling final. a couple more experienced players around them and they will be back in the top two, as for chelsea they shouldn't be worrying about spending more money when there best players want to leave, if you lose terry and lampard its back to mid table for you

ok well then top 4:

1. Chelski
2. ManUSA
3. Arsenal
4. Tottenham

whatever order, I can honestly see Liverpool falling out of the top 4 next season as they fail to make any impact signings....

ok sorry let me re-phrase....chelski have been lucky for the past 2years.....they had a bit of luck this year but not as much because they got many injuries in which they did well considering...however we always expect chelski 2 do well with injuries cause their squad is so big

Look everyone, the only team that has no luck is Arsenal... everything Arsenal win, they have to earn twice as much where as CHelski and ManUSA get all the luck in the world and dont have to be as good or work as hard because thye get all the luck... simple really? :roll:
