I just don't understand the argument that the other big 4 teams did not spend. We were on the brink last year, and needed to strenghten a little more to get over the finish line and we have failed to do this because the money was not given over. As for the other teams, United won the league last year and were in the european final. They lost 2 players and brought in two, all be it, inferior replacements. Chelsea, had a bounty on the ship last year for half the season and still ended up quiet close in the end, and were seconds away from their 2nd consecutive european final. United were better than us last season and one could argue so were chelsea, so the argument that we all standstill is good, is rubbish. and we will see where Arsenal finish at the end of the season.
