Why? I agree with him. I would much rather watch a team with ambition in a traditional football stadium with some noise than a team who have surrendered inside a shiny library.

You know Highbury was called the "Highbury Library" for it's famed lack of atmosphere, right? And you can't contradict yourself and say a "team with ambition" when the original parameters was 10th place.

10th place doesn't mean you can't aim for European spots though, no contradiction there at all, do Arsenal aim for a title challenge these days or do they just settle for the Profit Cup? + Highbury was definitely noisier than the Emirates is.

That's less ambition than what we have now.

Also, are you aware that we have a 10 mil transfer budget every season, including wages?

Not sure what the point of this is. How many times have the fans been told there is money available?

The business model at Arsenal = sell the best players and qualify for the CL = £££

No, we have a £10mil transfer budget, as well as profits from selling players. Either way, we are probably the biggest over-achievers in the League.

Arsenal, over-achievers?

So you would say that now they're achieving what they should be, because before they were over achieving?

**Goofle** · 12-06-2012, 11:47 AM

Considering how much we spend we over-achieve.

Man Utd to beat Man City 1-0 with Hernandez first scorer, 60-1 at William Hill.
Well worth a pound guys.

lol Glazer net spend per year at Man U is something daft like £5m, are Man U overachieving as well when you look at the likes of Chelsea, Spurs and City spending large amounts?

Arsenal have spent how much this summer, are 10th and that's overachieving?
