Yeah it was mate.
Good viewing.

 

Do you even know what I'm talking about?

 

You and city dont get no love bro.

How many times i gotta explain this to you

 

That came about though because we moved to Highbury, where we had record gate receipts and associated income. We also had decent financial reserves. So we spent what we earned. Unlike Chelsea and City who were doped with a massive cash injection.

 

Do you know im talking about?

 

He's pissed mate. Ignore him.

 

Sunderland
The "Bank of England club" has also been used to describe Sunderland in the late 1940s[10] and the 1950s.

The club paid £18,000 (£641,000 today) for Carlisle United's Ivor Broadis in January 1949.[11] Broadis was also Carlisle's manager at the time, and this is the first instance of a player transferring himself to another club.[12] This, along with record-breaking transfer fees to secure the services of Len Shackleton and the Welsh international Trevor Ford, resulted in the club being nicknamed the "Bank of England club"

lol.

And we don't care.

 

Neither does anyone else

 

Guilty as charged

 

He's a good player still but it was too quick a game for him at 35. Deffo 2nd yellow.

 

Yet another example of a referee ****ting his kecks at Anfield, as blatant a booking as you’ll ever see & he does nothing as he knows he’s on a yellow.

 

Eh? I won't deny Sunderlands history and if anything you are proving my point Money isn't everything and it needs to be spent well.

I know all that. We are talking about Arsenal. Nice attempt to divert attention away from Arsenal using money to elevate themselves into a top team

With a new home and First Division football, attendances were more than double those at the Manor Ground, and Arsenal's budget grew rapidly.[36][37] Their location and record-breaking salary offer lured star Huddersfield Town manager Herbert Chapman in 1925.[38][39] Over the next five years, Chapman built a new Arsenal. He appointed an enduring new trainer Tom Whittaker,[40] implemented Charlie Buchan's new twist on the nascent WM formation,[41][42] captured young players like Cliff Bastin and Eddie Hapgood, and lavished Highbury's income on stars like David Jack and Alex James. With record-breaking spending and gate receipts, Arsenal quickly became known as the Bank of England club.

Transformed, Chapman's Arsenal claimed their first national trophy, the FA Cup, in 1930, and League Championships followed in 1930–31 and 1932–33.[45] Chapman also presided over off the pitch changes: white sleeves and shirt numbers were added to the kit;a Tube station was named after the club;[49][50] and the first of two opulent, Art Deco stands was completed, with some of the first floodlights in English football.[37] Suddenly, in the middle of the 1933–34 season, Chapman died of pneumonia.[51] His work was left to Joe Shaw and George Allison, who saw out a hat-trick with the 1933–34 and 1934–35 titles, and then won the 1936 FA Cup and 1937–38 title.

Well would you look at that! Arsenal were a nothing club until they had money and bought success. Absolutely no different to City and Chelsea

 

I dont think ive known a player since mascherano who could ride a yellow like a beach pony everytime.

Dunno how he gets away with it tbh all the time

 

Summary please bro that's way too long?
