For that, we thank the manager and the board of directors who retain they sanity while other clubs chose to go mental over how they spend their club's money. And it's a good thing we don't have a sugar daddy too. Let's pray we'll never see Arsenal got stuck in deepshit like Liverpool (who are now trying to survive an October financial death trap).

2012/2013 couldnt come fast enough.

Fabregas - Arshavin won us the Tottenham tie

While plaudits have rightly come the way of players such as Jack Wilshere, Henri Lansbury and Kieran Gibbs after Tuesday’s resounding win at White Hart Lane, Cesc Fabregas believes the introduction of another star was a vital ingredient in our extra-time success.

“I think Andrey Arshavin made the big difference for us,” he says in his captain’s notes for tomorrow’s Matchday Programme.

“I believe he won us the game when he came on. He played the two passes that led to the two penalties in extra-time, then he scored the last goal himself. He can win a game.”

As said by our captain

hope we can seal the game 2-0 by 60mins, therefore nasri will sub out to get more rest for mid week CL away, Samir having stamina and consistency problem, can be godlike for 2games, but daydream @ nex game

Arsène Wenger: my record for nurturing talent at Arsenal is second to none

With Arsenal announcing record profits on Friday, Arsène Wenger made the bold claim that his results have been even more impressive and suggested that "no one else in the world" had produced as many top-level footballers as he had throughout his career.

The 60 year-old said that some other managers acted as if it "looks like we are in a business where the quality is to lose money" but insisted that although his philosophy was to behave in a "safe way" he was also not afraid to spend big if he needed to.

"I have the wrong reputation," the Arsenal manager said. "I'm not afraid to spend money. But the job of a manager is not to spend as much money [as he can]. We make a profit because we don't spend – simple as that.

"What is unbelievable is that people reproach me for making a profit, but those who lose money – no one says a word."

Wenger, whose side face West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, cited the example of his summer signing, Marouane Chamakh, who moved to the Emirates "for free" from Bordeaux because he was out of contract.

"To get Chamakh for free – instead of getting credit, you get accused of getting him for free and people ask, 'Why didn't you spend £20 million for him?' If I buy him two years ago for £20 million, it's OK. But you get him for free and it's, 'Oh, he didn't spend money'."

Apart from the fact that the Moroccan striker would not have cost £20 million two years ago – and was available for £7 million last year – Arsenal supporters may argue that Wenger's determination to wait sometimes hampers the side. Last season, for example, they cried out for a central striker. This season it is an experienced goalkeeper.

However, it is Wenger's work in developing young players, starting with the academy at Monaco and then at Arsenal, that he is most passionate about. He argued that his philosophy made it easier for him to resist the "pressure" to spend.

"If I buy players, Jack Wilshere doesn't come through. So you cannot have everything, and I know that, and I'm long enough in this job to have a development policy to educate the players.

"The most difficult thing is to play them and to stand up for it, and nobody else in the world [does this as much as me]. One day I'll give you the list of those at the top-level who have made careers with me and you will see. You will be absolutely astonished."

More than any other manager or club? "Of course," Wenger said. "How do I know? Take the list of the players who started here. If you go back it's unbelievable."

He reeled off the names of Cesc Fabregas – Barcelona may dispute that – Ashley Cole, Johan Djourou, Philippe Senderos, Kieron Gibbs, Alex Song, Abou Diaby, Gael Clichy and Wilshere and then added: "When I go back to Monaco" the likes of Lilian Thuram and Emmanuel Petit. He neglected to add Thierry Henry.

But what about Manchester United? "Not recently," he claimed, although Sir Alex Ferguson may have a case to challenge Wenger's overall claim. "When I arrived [in England in 1996] nearly all their team had started [at United])."

Barcelona? "Barcelona has, but I speak about me," Wenger added, implying that the production line at Barça was institutional – not dependent on a particular coach – while he had imposed his approach on Monaco and then Arsenal.

"People say always to buy," Wenger said. "But you cannot make careers and lives for players and on top of that buy every time you have an injury."

Not that he does not make sure he knows how much money is available should be choose to spend it. "Always," he said, "always, always."
