No 4th spot, no 70 mil.
Quite frankly even less money than they’re used to spending in the summer.
Welcome to what its like to be a Spurs fan. The difference is we always out perform our spending.

Uh, you think?
I swear, I cannot remember the point at which I learned to discount UK tab reporting to a degree of near 100%, but it was a long damned time ago. Maybe more or less contemporaneous with the point at which Le Arse was actually winning trophies.

They can have 100m to spend it won’t make a difference. The manager has proven time and again he won’t spend big money on players.
I’m not the biggest fan of piers Morgan but his daily rants on twitter about wanting Wenger sacked are pretty convincing.

Really bull shots news. Every time this kind of shit news
are there after losing main game. How many times we heard 50M, 60M
etc. This all faulty news are published by club itself i think for
stopping fans protest. Arsenal will never spend until someone
strong come to Arsenal board. This club is just for
profit.

Swansea should reimburse their fans ticket price for those who went to the LFC match.Laudrup should have signaled earlier in the week so fans would not have paid top dollar to see the reserves play.but all will be forgiven if they win at Wembley.

LOL at Farcenal, thats great news.. Keep Wenger at Farcenal AND let him Spend 70m …. I think it is a wise move by the Farcenal board… the longer he stays the better as far as Im concerned…..
Chelski Spent 80 million in the summer and were booted out of ucl and are 1 point clear in third..lol.. money well spent….
what a great story… I hope it is true…please let it be true
UNLEASH the WENGER!
All I need now is another story saying Rafa will stay at CFC…Come one Football gods make it happen!

its just plain wrong, if he doesn’t get a retro ban for violent conduct then the FA will have crossed a new line, a deliberate shoulder barge that causes concussion… really? is this part of the ivanovic, terry, cole, on field conduct class? such a bunch of thugs

Since Luiz was booked at the time of the incident there’s no way the FA will give anything further.
Even though I tend to agree that he should get more than just the yellow card at the time.
