talking millions
Prudent. So prudent.

SAF a.k.a Sir Alex Ferguson has kick started his mind games right after Benitez signed a new deal.

What has that got to do with us?

He sez Benitez will be going on a spending spree this summer.

*insert ahahaha.

Well..

Sometimes people talk too much but we can leave them be. The important point from that article is the net spending figures over the last 5 years. It made me laugh. This comes right after Sp*rs declared many happy returns from their own sales but nobody really gives a fuck about them.

So here it is:
Liverpool £82.5m
Man United £85.5m
Chelsea £154.8m
Arsenal £3.4m

I am amazed. We're in single digit figures. It's like eye-opening. And this is also one of the reasons why I support the Arsenal. Money isn't the key to everything. If you take the nearest figure then we would have done away with £79.1m less. That's a lot to be channeled into more meaningful areas like youth development etc. And this is also why we don't need a billionaire to fund our spending.

With the Draw against Villareal it means Pires will come back. Boy did I love him a lot. There was one thing I didn't really understand about Arsenal, like why most of the players in this era leave after they hit 30 or so. There isn't too much of seeing out their whole career here like how Giggs and Scholes are doing at United. Now I know why.

Wenger explains here:

"When you get to 33 or 34 I can still use players of that age here but when you look at our fixtures you have to get players at that age to come off the bench, come in, go out, and it is not easy. It's very difficult mentally, at 20 it is easy."


There's something Wenger pointed out which we will all agree with: Pires is still a quality player. It would be exciting for the fans to welcome him to the Emirates. Should be quite emotional for him too.

Newcastle tonight. Can't wait. It's going to be a short international break till April and I'll be using this time to move to my new place. I should go take a few photos of my sexy red wall. It's almost like I planned an Arsenal shrine in my room hahaha. Didn't start out on that intent but why not. We'll see.

I should post pictures, shouldn't I? Prolly on Facebook first.
