Can someone please explain why Arsenal are ranked third in their group ahead of Dinamo Zagreb when the first criteria for separating teams level on points is head to head and Zagreb defeated them 2-1 on matchday 1?

It isn't a weak Championship this season - in it are clubs that are much better run than QPR are (Boro, Derby etc), who have better squads than QPR. There are also teams that have genuinely decent managers (Birmingham, Brighton) and the two clubs that came down with them (Hull, Burnley) are better run, have better squads and have better managers than QPR.
The best comparison you can make to them are two other clubs that spent loads on bobbins and have owners best described as eccentric - Fulham (one point ahead of them) and Cardiff (three points ahead), neither of which will probably go up this year.
Also please note I am not saying that Ramsey is a fantastic manager, just that sacking him in those circumstances will do nothing to fix what problems there are at that club; indeed they will probably make things worse because whoever they bring in will demand to do the same sort of things as what got them in the mess in the first place. Their original aim of consolidation was sensible; competing against clubs that are better run, have better managers and better squads is not.
edit: also please note that if the last few years has proved anything its not that Onouha, Faurlin, Green and Fer are quality championship players, its that they are championship quality players. They are where they belong. The only exception is Austin, who has been injured quite a bit this season.

I didn't. I sized it up, looked at who posted it and realised it was almost certainly going to be pig swill.

I may have learnt late on in life but I've outstripped you by some distance. It's quality not quantity as I often tell your missus.

There we go. My exact argument, summed up by the person who's arguing for against it. It's not that he's black. It's that he's not very good. So complaining about a "sad" day for football, because 2 black managers lost their job, is just pathetic, because end of the day, it's not about their skin colour, it's about their ability to do their job correctly.
15 games in and Brighton, under their black coach, certainly aren't complaining.
Michael Owen, "Benteke looked a million dollars against Chelsea". Shame they paid 48million dollars for him then...

Rhymes with white. Still, nice kit.
