Even Spurs have spent a mystifying amount of millions in the last decade for having won one Carling Cup & a shitty little ground of 35,000. Where's that come from?

Only us & Newcastle have brought through or bought some reasonably decent talent.

It's magnified more with City as it's a Sheikh, but I don't see the difference with spending 85 million or 850 million. It's an obscene amounf of money either way.

Bar the fact they signed probaby the three most timid, gutless, spineless overrated tossers to have wore an Arsenal shirt, I'm no more put out by them winning it than the other 4 sides.

Exactly, what's the big difference between City and others who have spent a lot of money? I think the fact that City's owners are Arabs does have something to do with the extra hostility they face tbh.

The Catalans from Swansea aren't passing so well today.

Nah. They just used up all their rubbish fixtures and a series of tough fixtures remaining. The league table wasn't at all representative when they were 10 points clear having to travel to ours, chelsea's, Liverpool etc. I can only remember one match recently that they shouldve won (on paper) and we just dropped points in the very same one.

I don't really care. As long ad fulham get a point next week it's all good.

Yeah, anyone who says anything against them is a racist - you already did that one but double-bubble is okay when you can get it.

I think it's more that their wages exceed their turnover by an insane amount that fuels it, personally.

Should be eight goals from that one passage of play.

So it just means they are in our shadow for bottling it too - forever in our shadow, we are building a team for the future.

Young gets warmed up...

Dyer.

How apt.
