Nothing to do with United then? They've only had a small net spend since 2006 but have won plenty. Arsenal, on the other hand, have a negative net spend of over £30m since that time and have won nothing. In 2006 you finished 24 points behind Chelsea and even 15 points behind third place Liverpool. Next season 21 behind United. Apart from 2008, you've been well off the pace. That's not anyone's fault but Wenger's. You've been happy to settle for a poor fourth most seasons. If Liverpool hadn't blown up at the same time as us and Spurs started challenging for top four then you'd be in trouble.gooner6729 said:The two main reasons we haven't won anything in that time are Roman Abramovich and Sheikh Mansour. Good luck to you and Chelski, but looking down your nose at a self sufficient club says a lot about you.
The reason you've won nothing is that you've not invested properly in the squad (though Wenger hasn't been stopped from doing that by the board). I know that David Dein is horrified at the way Arsenal have been run the last few years. That's why his son is shipping all his players (who include Song & van Persie) out. Once those two go it's back to square one for you.
