If you take net spending into account, then divide it by each season, Wenger has outspent Rafa.
That's the only stat you can possibly use.

I'm sure plenty would disagree with me, but I would go with:
Reina
Finnan Carra Hobbs Insua
Gerrard Alonso Sissoko Benayoun
Torres
Crouch
People have been very critical of both Sissoko & Crouch recently, but I feel this is the type of game where they will both shine TBH, especially Sissoko. When up against a great passing team like Arsenal you need someone who will chase them non stop for 90 minutes, giving them no time on the ball. Sissoko is perfect for this and has given them major headaches in the past. I am a firm believer that his passing ability (or lack of) becomes less of an issue when paired with Alonso as Xabi will make himself available for the simple ball once Momo has won it. Once Alonso has the ball he has the option of releasing the through ball to Torres, Gerrard or Benayoun, all of whom are more than capable of getting in behind the defence, or the ball to Crouch to hold up for a more patient attack. Crouch had a field day against them last year, my thinking is that Arsenal will keep more than half an eye on him and it should free up a bit of space for Torres.
In defence if either is fit in time I would play Agger & Arbeloa, firstly at the expense of Hobbs, and Insua too if both manage to make it. Both our fullbacks were very poor last night, Finnan is usually superb so I'm willing to give him another chance but Riise has been playing badly for quite a while now, so for me Insua gets the nod unless Arbeloa or Aurelio are ready in time.
I'm gonna stick my neck on the line here & have faith that we will bounce back in style, I'm going for 3-0 with both Crouch & Sissoko to silence their doubters with brilliant performances.
