So, how do WE win the league?

There is understandable envy directed towards Manchester City from Gooners. Understandable, in that we're winners, and it wasn't so long ago that we were celebrating a league success. While footballing personnel changes, the fans never do. Successes, as well as disappointments, stay fresh in the memory.

I put the question to you guys and gals- how do we as a club go on to win the league in the current climate? With an abundance of wealth at Manchester City, a monetary backlash expected at United and Chelsea, and a board who are, seemingly, happy with a 3rd/4th place finish, it now seems a million miles away. Seeing that clock tick down at the Etihad, from 44 years to the 0 years since they enjoyed a league victory, made me wonder. Just how long is it until we'll experience the same feeling again? And, more importantly, how will we get there? Stupid foreign investment? A new manager to tinker with the current squad? An influx of players who are inherently "fans" of the Arsenal?

From a personal perspective, it all seems rather bleak at the moment. :(

You're mistaking envy for utter contempt and disgust.

Good thread, though.

Resist the temptation of taking their money, be more flexible and don't have a defence that concedes 20 goals more than the title winners did. All in that itself is no guarantee but it'd give us a better chance than otherwise.

And bleak? The euphoria of yesterday soon dies down.

:ilt:

The team must accept Jesus as their saviour. They must eat his flesh and drink his blood. Then we will win.

A new manager with fresh ideas. We lost silly games this year against teams we should be beating. Tally that all up and we'd have been in with a shout for the title. We need consistency and that winning mentality. That's key to a title winning side. Under Wenger, we won't get that.

What he said

We could instantly make 10 points by not making stupid, schoolboy defensive errors

(This will be helped by having a full pre-season together and putting some stirrups on Vermaelen)

We should have 2 fit full backs at all times, that should stop us losing all games in a month

We should clear out all the useless shit on the fringe of the squad and get some solid back ups in

Keep Arteta fit

Shoot from outside the box

I think we would be pushing 85 points with that lot, we wont be far away then will we.

1. Keep our key players fit. When we had the services of Arteta; Mertesacker and Walcott we didn't look anything like the flakey team that limped over the line. Hell - maybe we will even be able to enjoy the services of Wilshere, Diaby and a fit GK nextseason?

2. Buy a proper DM.

3. Get our transfer business done early; prepare properly for next season and make a good start.

4. Don't obsess about what the rich ****s are doing, just look to ourselves.

Come on you Gunners :scarf:
