I don't pretend otherwise.
Last four seasons - Arsenal average transfer spend = Minus £4m per season - they have been making a profit on transfer fees. Prior to that, it was of a similar amount, but in the couple of minutes I have befor I go to work, this is the best I can do.
Tottenham on the other hand...average net spend of £18m per season. A differential of £21m. Per season.
I anticipate there will be a huge gap in future spending between the two clubs. In fact I hope it happens, that was why us as fans were told we were going to have to endure the crap we have put up with in the lead up and subsequent to moving to the Emirates.
Which incidentally was done while your management produced a couple of shiny computer models of a stadium that never will be built and launched a Judicial Review because you're so desperate to move to Stratford.
Make no mistake, I am one seriously disgruntled Arsenal fan, there are players there that sicken me, but the difference in the direction of travel of Tottenham and Arsenal over the past twenty years has been phenomenal. So much so that if Tottenham were to finish above Arsenal in the table, it would be a HUGE news item.
