    We were comfortably above both of them for the majority of the season and only reason we didnt finsh above either is down to Wenger.

    Wenger said we did! Everyone said we didn't and he should strengthen!

    He said he knew what he was doing and he was doing it the HIS WAY!
    ‘Arsene was very cautious and David was very ambitious for the club,’ said former director Keith Edelman, managing director at the time. ‘He was very good at getting Arsene into a position where he was comfortable spending money.’

    The board have said if wenger identifies a player he really wants and he needs the money it's there. Wenger doesn't think it's worth it!

    What the fick are you taking about?

    The quality and depth of quality in the squad was not as good as we believed it to be. The quality of the squad has been in decline, and ON AVERAGE obtaining that quality has become more expensive.

    Your no better than wenger if you believe we only need a few squad players to make us competitive tbh.

    No, the quality was not what YOU AND THE DELUSIONAL WENGER believed it to be. Wenger said it was his best squad EVER!

    and petrol prices have ON AVERAGE been on the rise -- but I fuc*king get myself to work one way or the other (ADAPT) without bankrupting myself! And I make sure I get there on time -- otherwise you get sacked for repeated lateness. Hence the means of adapting has to be PRACTICAL BUT AT THE SAME TIME WITHIN THE REALMS OF THE REAL WORLD.

    @ach

    Sigh, ok look you say that Citeh and Chelsea having fun money doesn’t mean we will decline, well yes it does, not that alone, but when in conjunction with the stadium move and restricted spending it certainly would. And before you start talking about Manyoo not declining, they have by their standards, they are just lucky to be the biggest, best supported and arguably most famous team in the world. They also have big money, we don’t.

    1. It pollutes the transfer market and as everyone is happy to point out we can’t compete

    2. We can’t get the players we want as they will get sniffed out and go to the money, as you state it’s not about having any old jobber it’s about getting the right players, well sadly we are now 2 notches further down the prospective list than we were before (See SWP and Kompany)

    3. You also then get the knock on of monies spent, as the spaz teams suddenly have cash having sold the likes of Damien Duff for £17mil. So….

    4. Fixtures obviously get harder as the teams you used to ass fuck twice annually now give some back.

    5. Players aren’t as “loyal” due to the fact their mate is getting paid 4 times the amount playing for someone else. (See Toure and Adebayor)

    6. Our invincibles began to break up as Chelsea got rich, which means for the reasons above, we couldn’t replace them 1 for 1 so had to take another route, ours was kids.

    7. Media, marketing, overseas merchandise sales, TV rights and so on all get more spread out as well halting income and exposure which we could only replace through player sales.

    While these problems aren’t affecting only us, we felt it directly as we were the team replaced as were the Scouse, the only difference between us and them is they are out of the champ’s league despite having won it. What would you rather have?


    Think of it as trying to pull a girl (Just try) you are doing well she is into it and it all looks good, then someone twice as rich, twice as good looking and with a nice car comes in and she wanders off in his direction. THAT is the effect the Romans and the Sheikhs have had on the league.

    Competition is great as long as you aren’t the one suffering because of it.
