Manure effectively challenges for the title every season without spending as much as city or us.(even though we hadn't spent much for 2-4 seasons until we signed Torres)
Why can't Arsenal? I mean Wilshit, crapsey, dong, arteta and co aren't miles behind frigging Michael Carrick, Anderson (lol), cleverley and Scholes.
They have an extremely talented set of wingers and a great attacker in Rooney but Arsenal has RVP who was better than Rooney anyway.
In defense, Wio cuntinand barely gets a game nowadays, Vidic missed half season but the fuckers still managed to get points with the retard twins at fullbacks, el Negrito who isn't even a decent left back nowadays, Smalling, friggin Phil Jones and Evans.
Arsenal has Vermaelen, koscielny, Sagna (ok he got injured) Andre santos, Gibbs. They aren't world beaters but they aren't miles behind the defense above.
Oh but Arsenal keep selling their senior players, the ones United tend to keep who are ultimately the ones who lift up the team spirit and contribute lots when it comes to team mentality in tough times and providing that never say die attitude. And of course, that dolt AF (fuck the sir part).
