the spectacle that even the green-eyed rival fan cannot help but admire. A few tweaks here and there would be enough to bring back the old golden days, not the boring “one nil to the Arsenal” though. The fans can take courage from the fact that not all “stellar” signings can bring success as their neighbours Chel- sea found out to their cost. This time last year, Chelsea splashed £75 million on Fernando Torres and David Luis. Up north at Liverpool a small amount of £35 million was spent on one tall guy, needless to say that the jury is still out on these players. That is no comfort to the fans but one season or no season wonders like Chamack, Rosiscky and Arshavin is still little solace to the suffering fans.
