United and Liverpool got into those positions without excessive spending was my point. I don't think United splashed the cash much until later on in their dominance. How much did the treble winning side cost? (Of course adjusting for the difference in overall spending between then and now)
There are warnings in other clubs, Newcastle and especially Leeds, of how financial overreaching can cause problems. City are fine since their exuberance is being backrolled by a ambitious chairman but the fans should be wary of the stability of the club in the event his cash flow stops.

Wooo 6 - 1! Shame about the late concession but 6 - 1, away, to Everton. That's a nice start to the season by anyone's standards. Just improve the defence Wenger.
