Let's not kid ourselves. We are £150mill - £200mill away from a squad that can compete at the very top level. But when you spread investment like that over a 5 year period it doesn't look nearly as daunting and if players had been brought in as they were needed we'd have steadily become more competitive. Who's to say we wouldn't have gained all that £200mill back in increased revenues based on increased ambition?

But Wenger sees it differently. Everyone else is wrong, he's right. And you know what - HE PROBABLY IS RIGHT! Just like I'm 100% correct when I say tax is theft. But does that mean I won't be paying my taxes? You play the game as it is presented to you at any given time. Buck the system without working to change the system and you lose while everyone around you just gets on with it. And if you are trying to change the system then don't be so fucking dumb and rely on UEFA to do it for you. Wenger's efforts so far appear to be endlessly moaning about the chavs and the gypos. That'll teach them.

In football money talks. Wenger doesn't like this. I don't like it either. I'm not sure any genuine fan likes it. But until something is done to change the reality then there's no point screaming about injustice while you hack your own nose off to spite your face. And isn't it bloody convenient our "moral" approach to all this is very lucrative for the few and very expensive for the many? Oh what a fucking surprise!
