Re: Football Season 2011/12
It's not really a score draw though. Inter, AC Milan and Juventus are all bigger clubs than Arsenal and i say that as an Arsenal fan (though admittedly, i have a big soft spot for Inter and Italian football in general as well).

I don't think anybody with a full, unbiased view of world football would think otherwise. Arsenal may be richer and have more fans on a worldwide scale, but this is purely because of the surge in popularity of English football - the popularity which Italian football had during the 90's. Outside of that, those Italian sides outdo Arsenal in pretty much every area. The same goes with clubs like Benfica, Porto, Bayern Munich etc etc - it's only the money and popularity of a league (or lack of) which distorts the prestigiousness of certain clubs.
