The real reason Arsenal are failing
OK after doing some quite structured and balanced analysis I have finally come up with the conclusion that the real reason we are falling behind and not winning trophies isn't because of the money, the team, the tactics, the managers or any of the usually acknowledged reasons.
The simple reasons is we don't have enough ****s. Look at the table below and you will see that we are joint bottom of the **** league with Fulham, Fulham FFS! If you look at the teams at the top they are the more successful and trophy hunting teams, in fact their seems to be a direct correlation between success in the prem and the sheer amount of ****ishnesss within the team. (Only Stoke buck this trend and they went to the FA cup semi's last year and played in |Europe for the first time ever as their ****ishness increased, coincidence?)
Arsenal can recall Bendtner and Frimpong while the re-entry of Denilson would better our standings but we are clearly lacking. I hope the manager reads this and adds to the squad where it badly needs it. I am thinking maybe Clarkson at Central defence, Cameron in midfield and the maybe Sticking Eamon Holmes up front? That would get us on the right path.
