Sportsmail asks football's leading figures who they would pay £40 to see
[LNB] In Matt Lawton's brilliant interview with Cesc Fabregas last weekend, the Arsenal captain proudly said of his team's beautiful football:'I think people feel proud to say they have spent £40 to come and watch us play.' [LNB]Arsenal continue to be among the most attractive teams in the country, despite their 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea. [LNB]We asked players, managers and commentators who they would be proud to pay £40 to watch.[LNB] A joy to watch: Cesc Fabregas scores in the Champions League against AZ Alkmaar[LNB]Harry Redknapp, Tottenham managerLiverpool. I just love the atmospherethere. It's fantastic. Not so much the football, it's just somethingwith the crowd. On a good day when the crowd is singing, I just love it. It's special, but it's a long way to drive from Poole! [LNB]Bryan Robson, Thailand managerIt has to be Manchester United. They play attacking football but combine it with good defence and aggression all the best arts of the game. I get frustrated watching Arsenal because they leave themselves open. [LNB]George Graham, former Millwall, Arsenal, Leeds and Tottenham managerIt would have to be Arsenal. Not because I think they will win the title I think the side lack some moral and physical toughness but because they are very attractive to watch. [LNB] Red route: Harry Redknapp would spend his £40 on a trip to Anfield[LNB]Alan Pardew,Southampton manager Manchester United. Value for money, 99 per cent of the time. [LNB]Andy Townsend,Sportsmail columnistBurnley. I love what they have brought to the Premier League, especially at Turf Moor. They have been terrific to watch. And I'd still have £15 left at the end! [LNB]RayStubbs,ESPN anchormanArsenal. We saw them beat Everton 6-1 in our first game broadcasting the Premier League live. How a less talented team will try to stop them can be equally as entertaining as watching Arsene Wenger's commitmentto his team passing a football.[LNB]Vintage Clarets: Townsend says Wade Elliott's Burnley have brought a lot to the Premier League[LNB]Graham Poll, Sportsmail columnistManchester United, at OldTrafford, to see who will be the next young star to emerge from Sir Alex Ferguson's stable oftalent. My money is on Federico Macheda. [LNB]Owen Coyle, Burnley managerMoney is tight for families these days and they have to take a decision. Do I want a tight, hard-fought 0-0 or do I want to be entertained? If you spend that much you want good entertainment.Arsenal give that. [LNB]Peter Reid, Stoke assistant managerChelsea represent the complete package to me as a fan. They can be powerful, they can be pretty, they don't irritate you with too many mistakes and they have great attackingplayers to finish it all off. They also have that aggressive side to their game and whatever we say about the purists, fans still love to see a bit of niggle.[LNB]Gerry Francis, former QPR andTottenham managerTottenham. Not because I was manager there but because I love the way Harry Redknapp has got them playing. I would also love to go and watch my old club QPR for reasons of the heart. [LNB]Neil Warnock,Crystal Palace managerArsenal. They are the best footballingteam. I'd take my son there. We should just enjoy it while it lasts because I think once Wenger has gone, that will be it. It's fantastic. [LNB] London's calling: Palace boss Neil Warnock says Arsenal provide the most value for money - but Blackburn striker Jason Roberts would plump for Chelsea[LNB]Jason Roberts, Blackburn strikerIt would have to be Chelsea. The football they are playing is fantastic and their strikers are in form. [LNB]George Boateng, Hull midfielderIt would be Arsenal all day. I know they were beaten by Chelseabut their style of play is great to watch. [LNB]Lian Lawrence,Stoke winger Manchester United. They can change defence to attack brilliantlyand quickly. I would have to take my dad though. He's a big fan. [LNB] Simply the best: Manchester United are the team to watch, according to Burnley midfielder Robbie Blake[LNB]Micky Adams,Port Vale managerChelsea. I like the way they play for each other. To get superstars doing that is a fantastic achievement. [LNB]Robbie Blake,Burnley strikerManchester United. They are still the best team to watchby a mile if what you want is entertainment.[LNB] Angry Man United boss Ferguson blasts critics: Leave my kids alone! Arsenal fans paid the price for Ashley abuse, blasts Chelsea star Lampard Chelsea's £40m target Aguero admits he'll leave Atletico if the price is right Liverpool ace Mascherano claims he deserves credit for strike at Everton EXCLUSIVE: Cesc Fabregas - Arsenal's genius reveals why he will not sign for Barcelona, the fight to overcome his demons - and the slur that haunts him[LNB] Explore more:People:Jason Roberts, Harry Redknapp, Neil Warnock, Owen Coyle, Graham Poll, George Boateng, George Graham, BRYAN ROBSON, Robbie Blake, Alex Ferguson, Gerry Francis, Wade ElliottPlaces:London, Leeds, Thailand
