Whilst I recognise the right of fans of all the teams we've surpassed to get to the the top (Rags, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton, Villa) to be aggrieved, it is often misplaced anger. Arsenal, Everton and Villa, whose players we bought, and have been by far the most bitter in my opinion, have all received big transfer fees for the players we bought. Transfer fees way above market value. So why, having being given inflated transfer fees, are you angry at us? Be angry at your boards for not spending. Arsenal fans are also typically the ones who whinge about City inflating the transfer market. Firstly, rapid inflation in the transfer market started long before us. The most we've paid for a player is £35 million. The last time the world transfer record was £35 million was 2000 for Hernan Crespo, so an 11 year lag between our highest transfer fee and the record. How's it our fault? Secondly, what an absurd excuse to use when the club, with the exception of Lescott and Milner, most responsible for us paying inflated fees are Arsenal. If anyone's helping to inflate the market, it's Arsenal, and Liverpool.
Oh, and I don't think there's a club in that list who hasn't been owned by a wealthy person who has injected considerable money at some point in the club's history.
