And some 'news' out of Arsenal:

Quote:
Peter Hill-Wood has conceded that Arsenal cannot spend as much on players as the likes of Premier League rivals Manchester City and Chelsea.

"Arsene has money to spend but there's a limit. We can't spend £50million on one player," Hill-Wood told the Evening Standard.

"At a certain level, we can't compete. I don't think [majority shareholder] Stan Kroenke is going to put the sort of dollars in that [Roman] Abramovich or Sheikh Mansour are putting into Chelsea or Manchester City. That's not the way he thinks clubs should be run.

I've no love for Arsenal but its nice to know that some people have a fundamental grasp on the concept of fiscal responsibility.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
