Yet again another misquote.
AW never said we can't bring
in quality. What he has often
said is that it is difficult to
compete for quality in a
distorted market. As a matter of fact he actually says he's
looking to bring in quality,
but that is a whole different
matter for analysis.

Edoyad, sure Wenger is a rich man. He didn't get that way by 'lying and being hypocritical', he got that way by doing his job and being successful. People all over the world that will stammer and stutter if they were ever to stand in his presence now think its open season on him. Supporters should do their jobs and support. Criticise by all means but respect the persons of the members of your own team.

This is not to you but its a general thing I tell people, there are people who spit so much venom at Wenger who have never and I repeat never come first at anything in their lives. On what pedestal exactly to they stand to insult him?

debosky:
Wenger is 'one of the richest' - but is that the reason players are not being signed?

I'll ignore a lot of this 'fluff' (mostly unrelated to my post) and ask a simple question - have the opponents outspent Arsenal or not?

Answers on a postcard please.

debosky:
2. While it is legitimate to demand more from Arsene, Arsenal's failure to win trophies is less to do with Arsene spending as such, but more to do with the astronomical spending by others.

Oil Spill Triggers Fire
Outbreak •Over 100
Houses Burnt
•Hundreds Flee

THOUSANDS have fled the Ikarama community, Bayelsa state following an inferno triggered by an oil spill from a Shell Petroleum E with the SPDC succeeding in clamping five of the spill sites at different locations before the outbreak of fire on Wednesday night. Although the cause of the fire outbreak could not be immediately established as at press time, sources said it was a case of sabotage. However, the Environment Rights Action Field Coordinator in the state, Comrade Morris Alagoa, who was among the first persons to arrive at the scene, told our correspondent that the distance between houses and some huts in the area was less than 20 meters. “The natives, young and old watched helplessly from safe distances how their property were consumed by the inferno, which rose up to about 25 meters or so above the ground,” he said, adding that that appropriate authorities should move in to investigate the incessant spill in the community and ascertain the major cause of the outbreak of fire. In his remark, a resident, Mr. Tamunokomie E. Oba, said “the fire outbreak caused a lot of panic because crude oil is all around our dwelling and we fear the fire might spread to burn down the house.” Confirming the incident, SPDC Spokesman, Mr. Precious Okolobo, said the fire was ignited by unknown persons. Meanwhile, the Anglo-Dutch oil giant, Shell, has accepted responsibility for two devastating oil spills in Ogoniland in Rivers State. The Bodo fishing community in Ogoni, sued Shell in the United Kingdom (UK), alleging that oil spills in 2008 and 2009 had destroyed the environment and ruined their livelihoods. Lawyer to the communities, Mr. Martyn Day, said his clients would seek hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for one of the world's "most devastating oil spills". Shell told the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) it would settle the case under Nigerian law. Experts who studied video footage of the spills, said they could be as large as the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska, United States (US) when 10 million gallons of oil destroyed the remote coastline, the UK's Guardian newspaper reports. Until now, Shell had claimed that less than 40,000 gallons were spilt in the country. Reports said the spillage was caused by pipelines which ran through the village. Shell stopped pumping oil from Ogoniland in 1993 after the late environmentalist Ken Saro-Wiwa, was hanged for leading a campaign against it for allegedly destroying the environment. Martyn Day, represented the 69,000-strong Bodo fishing community, said they would demand "adequate compensation immediately". "This is one of the most devastating oil spills the world has ever seen and yet it had gone almost unnoticed until we received instructions to bring about a claim against Shell in this country [UK]," he said. He said the community had three sets of claims. The first claim - for at least $100m (£61m) - was for to clean up the area. The second one was for damages to the community land and the final one was for losses suffered by individual families, Day said . . .

Success finally arrived during
the 2001–02 season. Arsenal finished seven points above Liverpool to win the league title, and defeated Chelsea 2–0 in the FA Cup Final .[2] Henry became the league's top goal-
scorer and netted 42 goals in
all competitions as he led
Arsenal to a double and his first silverware with the club. [5][13] There was much expectation that Henry would
replicate his club form for
France during the 2002 World Cup, but the defending champions suffered a shock exit at the group stage. [2] 2002–03 proved to be another productive season for Henry,
as he scored 32 goals in all
competitions while
contributing 23 assists—
remarkable returns for a striker. [13] In doing so, he led Arsenal to another FA Cup triumph (where he was man- of-the-match in the final), [14] although Arsenal failed to
retain their Premier League crown. [15] Throughout the season, he competed with
Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy for the league scoring title, but the latter
edged Henry to the title by a goal.[2] Nonetheless, Henry was named both the PFA Players' Player of the Year and Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year .[16][17] His rising status as one of the
world's best footballers was
affirmed when he emerged
runner-up for the 2003 FIFA World Player of the Year award. [11] Henry in a game against Charlton Athletic in 2006 Entering the 2003–04 season, Arsenal were determined to
reclaim the Premier League
crown. Henry was again
instrumental in Arsenal's
exceptionally successful
campaign; together with the likes of Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira and Robert Pirès, Henry ensured that the
Gunners became the first team
in more than a century to go
through the entire domestic league season unbeaten, claiming the league title in the process.[18] Apart from being named for the second year
running as the PFA Players'
Player of the Year and
Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year, [16] Henry emerged once again as
the runner-up for 2004 FIFA World Player of the Year award. [11] With 39 goals scored in all competitions, the
Frenchman led the league in
goals scored and won the European Golden Boot.
