Judging by your 'logic', and your 'mastery' of the English language you are a Spuds fan. Condemnation enough, I think!

Sp*rs fan? I think so. Although I have to say I especially enjoyed the part where you suggested that Chelsea will have a large number of players represented in England’s next international squad. Ha. Ha. Lampard, Terry and Cole? Is that it? Well, fair play, they are all inspirational players who have achieved internationally at the highest level. Hahahaha, sorry, I couldn’t even keep that up on the internet. Cole was okay (and gosh, where did he come from? Chelsea's excellent youth development system, obviously), but honestly with his godawful shenanigans over the past year I couldn’t give a stuff if he was English (not least of all because I’m Australian) or not, as the not-so-old adage goes, I’d rather have a Willy than a c***. And of course, that brings me full circle to this shite article, the faux-controversial ramblings of a hateful wannabe columnist. Don’t quit your day job, unless it happens to involve research of any kind or, I dunno, common sense.

"Arsenal Holdings plc confirms that its subsidiary The Arsenal Football Club plc has signed Spanish international Jose Antonio Reyes from Sevilla Futbol Clube on a four and a half year contract; completion of the contract is subject to the player undergoing a medical and his registration with the FA and the FA Premier League. The initial consideration is EUR15 million, of which EUR10 million is payable immediately. Additional consideration of up to EUR9.5 million may become payable, subject to various appearance and performance criteria being satisfied.

What a load of crap this is. It is stupid! It is naiive and it is mostly incorrect. What I cannot understand is why people waste their time putting this kind of drivel up on a website. They must be truly bored out of their minds! I am not going to waste my time dissecting this garbage. I suppose the author believes that Arsenal should strive to reach the dizzy heights of achievement that Tottenham have reached ! What a joke. Dear God!! What a load of crap this is.

I rather have more trophies than English goalscorers at Arsenal between now and 2009. I guess you spuds have to settle for the opposite. Journalism isn't for you, try another career....
