George Graham demands Arsenal do this to win the Premier League
FORMER Arsenal boss George Graham believes his old club must splash the cash to end their wait for the Premier League title.

Back to back defeats to Watford and Chelsea have left Arsenal's title hopes for this season in tatters.
The Gunners are 12 points adrift of the Blues with just 14 games remaining.
There is growing unrest at the Emirates with many fans calling for manager Arsene Wenger to leave.
Wenger's contract expires at the end of the season and the Frenchman is yet to commit to another year in charge.

However, Graham has backed the Gunners boss and believes pumping money into the squad could help them challenge for major honours.
"Arsene has set the bar so highly at the club, he's been a breath of fresh air not only for Arsenal but English football," the ex-Gunners boss told talkSPORT.
"Recently they've been off the boil. But the problem is that (although) he's won trophies the league is the one they expect to win.
"Financially they are very stable now but buying could be a problem.

"They need to buy to players, they have the finances to do it. They've got enough money now to buy the best. They're definitely lacking.
"Some weeks they are outstanding. Every season they put a run together, and they can do it. But they seem at times very vulnerable to smaller teams."
Arsenal have not won the title since 2004.
And failure to win it this season would see their wait stretch into a 14th year.
