Fat Spanish Waiter gets his excuses in early........

I can’t believe that he is quoted as saying:

"It's more difficult because after two years of Chelsea winning the league and spending big money, United needed to do the same," Benítez said. "They started spending big money and Arsenal were also spending big money on young players. We are trying to do the same but because they are continuing to spend big money, it makes it more difficult to catch up ... We will try to do our best and the key for me is to not talk about the title."
