It's not because they do it more because they don't do it with other teams,sometimes the rags but not after every flipping game,do it about chelsea or arses who spent a fortune on ozil but they don't or very rare.Every game on tv or the feeds talk about our money,if they did it about all the teams then fair do's

Arsenal have spent very little over the years but take your point about Chelsea and United.

The money thing does not bother me in the context of what was written by the BBC. Different situation if its infering the players are mercenaries, moved for the money etc. We have spent a bob or two but its not something I am uncomfortable with. Maybe others are.

I never understand why people get worked up when players fees are mentioned. It is what we have paid and shows we compete for the best and in this instant it did not seem an article with a slight.

I could understand being people being cheesed off when we lose and there is a comparison of the respective costs of the two teams though.

Have I got it wrong again GDM?

I think they have recouped a bit also. This is the problem with you mate you struggle to be objective. Most people on this forum would say Arsenal have been pretty frugal with regards spending. Admitting it does not make you less of a blue

And apart from that focusing on transfer feels is a bit if obfuscation as most of the spending incurred is on wages.
And arsenal have spent far more in the last 15 years than the average side.

Bottomline is, no one talked about money pre-2009 when they discussed Manure or arsenal. I don't recall anyone taunting fergie when goat and Co regularly beat his teams, despite them fielding several players who cost as much as the entire city 11.

Money has always been discussed pal but I agree their is more emphasis on it nowadays. Culturally money and fame is what people use as barometers of succcess and importance.

It's funny how people never explore what's on their own doorstep. I grew up a couple of miles to the east of Exeter, and was conditioned to regard what lay to the west of it, as some kind of prototype Royston Vasey. I've been to Plymouth and Cornwall no more than about 3 times, and Okehampton the grand total of once, so I don't know about any sporting Manor House, although there is one at Mortonhampstead. Funny folk down there. I'm surprised you didn't end up in some kind of cauldron with a few turnips!

Without derailing the thread its all a bit new to me having moved to Dorset in the last year. So ive been pretty excited to explore. Similarly I have a work colleague who loves running and has been all over the peak district, which puts me to shame.

Favourite places are lulworth cove, portland basin and west bay (Broadchurch). I hope you have been to them Exeter
