Arsenal give rivals Chelsea a helping hand

Arsenal and Chelsea are arch rivals on the pitch - but it looks like they're becoming a little too friendly off it.
In fact, judging by Arsenal's online shop for American customers, they might as well be operating as one club.



In what seems a bizarre business move, the US website is openly promoting Chelsea items for sale.
Fans logging on to the site expecting to trawl Gunners gear were stunned to see clothing from their London rivals available.

Customers clicking on to the 'new arrivals' section will spot a pair of Chelsea baby boots on offer at $19.99.
And anyone who types 'Chelsea' into the search box would discover a number of shirts for sale - including one celebrating the club's Double triumph from last season.
This is what happens when you want to make money but do not have the fan numbers across the pond ..... more power to them I say.
