Arsenal - The New Chelsea... And Actually Better!

Today's hottest news is that of Arsenal revealed to be Europe's richest club, just behind Real Madrid, in terms of revenue. This has been driven in part from their move to the gorgeous Emirates Stadium.

Will Arsenal now be the new Chelsea?

A huge warchest is now available for Arsene Wenger to purchase the world-class players that any club would want. And he might use it to (finally) craft a team capable of winning the Champions League. Afterall, who can win it with a team of kids, right? Heh.

But knowing Wenger, I doubt he would spend it unwisely. He'd probably get a few more untapped potentials from the depths of Africa, or the French ghettoes, and possibly even from the British slums.

And I applaud him for that. There's a perfect case study for everyone that while money can buy short term success in soccer, in the long term it just guarantees misery.

And we all know who we're talking about, aren't we, John Terry?
