I enjoy the UEFA cup. Zenit are a great side IMO
Well if he wasnt special, why is most Arsenal supporters blaming Wenger for his departure?
Not really he is still earning 20 000 pounds a week more than what Arsenal offered.
Free transfer must hurt Arsenal a tad bit![]()
he was a free transfer to arsenal as well, but yes it wouldve been nice to make a bit of money off him
He went to a bigger club and is getting more money for it, how hard is that to understand.
Uefa cup or not his going to be in a lot more champs league finals than arsenal in the future. Difference between arsenal and Ac Milan is one club makes headlines and the other one makes history books.
so he ran away because of the money![]()
Porto won it (uefa) in 2003 and then went on to win the champs league final the following year.
The uefa cup is as much a showpiece of football as the champs league and only someone who doesn’t appreciate/understand football will disagree.

I never said the UEFA cup wasn't a decent tournament what I said is that the big/great teams do not care about it.
It has some decent midtable sides but to say it's a great tournament is over emphasizing it.
The Italian and Spnish cups are also show piece competitions but I would never call them great competitions.
Porto was an exception and that was under mourinho. Have they come close to winning anything in europe since he left?? That still doesn't make the uefa cup a big competition.
Its a good competition to watch and fun for the lesser European sides but its not taken seriously by any of the big european clubs unless they failed and need a trophy to save their season.
Go and ask the Bayern fans what was more important winning the german league or trying to win the uefa cup. Go and ask Fiorentina what was more important finishing fourth in the league and cl football or trying to win the uefa cup.
