Oligarchs Will be Oligarchs

Arsenal's new sugar (or should I say oil?) daddy Alisher Usmanov is making headlines in the UK right now by taking aggressive legal action against critics in the news media. Specifically he's had the webservers hosting a blog by author and former UK Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig Murray, shut down. Notice to Arseblog: be careful about any criticism of team selection or the Board of Directors or you're next!

We asked Murray if he intends to stay on Usmanov's back. He replied: "There is room on Usmanov's back for an awful lot of people. You could get even more on his stomach, and possibly lose some under the overlap of his chins."
