Could be wrong though, haven't checked the exact figures. Then I'd suggest checking them first before making such an erroneous post. We haven't spent anything near Chelsea's amount. Not even half.

'Cos we've got a player who's United through and through. He just might tw*t your groundsman, and bomb down your wing, He's French, he's fast, he's f*cking CLASS, so hear United sing: Tra la laa, it's Patrice Evra, tra la laa laa laa laa laa...

We haven't spent anything near Chelsea's amount. >Not even half. Let me rephrase, Chelsea passed you, then you stepped up a gear and matched/passed *their* spending? I have a hunch since about 2007, coinciding with your current run of three straight titles, you've been bigger spenders than them. I haven't run the figures, but you've had some pretty big purchases. Mind you I don't think there is, nor have I ever suggested, that it's somehow "wrong" or illegitimate for a club to spend money, so more power to you. But yes if you count all of Abramovichs time, clearly they've outspent you.

We haven't spent anything near Chelsea's amount. >Not even half. Let me rephrase, Chelsea passed you, then you stepped up a gear and matched/passed *their* spending? Absolutely not. I have a hunch since about 2007, coinciding with your current run of three straight titles, you've been bigger spenders than them. These things are best not done on 'hunches'. Hard facts are necessary. They will tell you that Chelsea have *far* outspent United. ..

I >haven't run the figures, but you've had some pretty big purchases. Your hunch would be wrong. Since 2007 Chelsea have spent 94.2m and Man U 49.75m..(figures courtesy of soccerbase.com) Steve |
