$25 million pounds per year in net spending (which is more fair then pure spending in my opinion, since Tottenham have spent 3 times Arsenal using that measure) is more than marginal in my opinion (from 2006-2011).

Spurs have spent about 17 million more per year since the Abrahmovic era (2003) and 8 million more since the start of the premier league.
I don't know the differences between the wage bills (either I am blind or they don't separate these from total operating costs in their annual reports), but I am aware Arsenal historically have spent quite a bit more. I know Arsenal's has increased recently, as I imagine spurs has, due to the increased size of their squad.
