Yes it was, there was a time when your transfer spending was second only to Man Utd, yet you were miles off the pace and winning **** all. Spurs have reigned it in recently, although you're still winning **** all
Like I've said when you play regular champions league football then you have to pay the top wages to attract the best players. Arsenal earn their money without needing the input from a sugar daddy, and we are a healthy club in the black who can afford to pay these wages and transfers.
This still all comes round to the same conclusion, whatever way you want to look at it,
Arsenal were more successful than Spurs in the past, and are still more successful than Spurs now
