Chelsea have spent £97.5m so far this summer and have basically made all the money back through sales and there's still more sales to come. Arsenal have spent around £125m once they've got Ramsdale and Odegaard while only selling Willock so their net spend is around £100m while ours is £5m or maybe less. Also in the last 5 years Arsenal's net spend is also higher but apparently we're the oil club that ruins football. We're the Champions of Europe while they aren't even in Europe this season and haven't been in the Champions League for years. Goes to show how different the clubs are run as Arsenal can't say they don't spend as they clearly do. Put some respect on Marina and the board's name and people should realise we don't throw money around like we used to and are a well run club.

True Ed, I don’t care what other teams are doing, only worried about us.

{Ed014's Note - exactly Jimbo

It's not about caring what other teams are doing, it's about having a bit of fun and banter against one of our rivals that we just so happen to be playing tomorrow lighten up guys have the crack.

It’s poking at a (former) rival and a bit of banter IMO.

I do agree to an extent Ed014. However, you must admit when we (Chelsea) win trophies and do well it’s cause we are « buying success » and it’s all thanks to « oil money « when in reality, Chelsea do have a good net spend, buying better than most clubs. We are à well run cli but the obvious narrative from rival fans is that we « buy success » .

I do also agree, I don’t care how other clubs spend I’ve only been interested in what Chelsea do but at the same time I can see why fellow Chelsea fans like the original poster need to make this point.

{Ed014's Note - It was at one time the case ELI, pre FFP you could spend what you like and did.

That’s what people don’t forget but Roman has changed all that and you are now an extremely well run club that win things on merit.

Thus I would just ignore any bitterness from rival fans who can’t get over themselves and I get he wants to make a point but you don’t need to put anyone else down to do it.

I think the last paragraph of the Cat post refers to us being a well run club.

On reflection I apologize and I shouldn't take the mick out of a mid table team .

It looks like I've came across Wrong ed14 I was hoping for a bit of back and forth banter, in all honesty I couldn't care less if I tried what arsenal do, it wasn't a random statement we are playing later today, at what moment did football fans become so fragile and sensitive that we can't wind up and take the Micky out of fellow rivals, shame really I always enjoyed having a laugh, I dread to think what it will be like in coming years .

{Ed014's Note - no snags having a laugh mate but you didn’t say it like that at all.

You were just moaning and putting another club down to big your own up because you went full blown snowflake because people didn’t think you were a well run club. 🤷‍♂️

No mate it's much more simple than that I thought it would be funny.
