Literally no one.

This season has clearly not been brilliant or anything of the sort. It's been run of the mill and in keeping with what we reguarly produce. Some dreadful performances that leaves everyone thinking we're fucked. Then some terrific form that has us all wondering what the future may hold. We've seen it all before and my biggest problem is that despite everything we're still no closer to knowing what the fuck is going on at the club and what direction the team is heading in.

Yeah it was great to see TH14 back and with match winning goals to boot. . .but I am going to stick my neck out and say his comeback was one of the more confusing moments of the season.

For me. . .using the January window only to procure Henry was a mistake. . .especially when we knew he would only stay a short time. . .we had been slumping badly and for me the move came across as a publicity stunt that thankfully bore some fruit. . .I mean say Henry didnt score those goals, and we continued to lose. . .I think we just left ourselves short by not bringing in cover for RvP, I mean there might not have been anyone of super quality?

We got lucky, RvP is injury free :touch wood: Henry did come back and did score :fu#king legend: third in the league :boyz have pulled through: Wenger has the grin on :times I would like to smack it off:

I don't think anyone else has though. I've enjoyed bits of it and not others. Overall if we finish top 4 it will have been a decent season given the expectations we had early season. It would be something to build on. But we've been here before so whether we will or not...I choose to remain optimistic!

Our season was wrecked by a niave and shambollick pre season. We didnt have the players available to make any kind of inroads to the CL places. The CL places are the target lets not forget. Winning anything was a bonus as it always will be with this regime. The arrogance shown by the board and or manager was frankly amature and they simply have to take the blame fully on their shoulders. The policies at the club seem to be based on arrogance and luck, not good management or organization. The season could have ended up a complete shambles. We panic bought players at the very last minute. We have bought more trash again and we have also loaned out players at a time we could not have afforded to do so.

On the field its progressed from the start but we are no stronger than we were and should be.

I have said it before and I will say it again. We will win nothing under Wenger anymore. He has lost his desire to win. His romance with playing the beautiful game has surpassed that desire for titles and glory.

We do need a change of regime and someone with a winning atitude and desire. It may mean we dont challenge for a season or two but we have lived with that for 7 long pointless seasons so its no hardship as long as we bite the bullet and see forward movement.

This has been a waste of a season IMO due to stupidity. For those who say Wenger is not a stupid man you really need to look back over the last 12 months and his decisions to see he is.

Rubbish! The ability to maybe, in the modern game, but anyone looking at his reactions when we're going through a bad run can see how much it hurts him. He clearly wants us to win desperately.

Same season as before really. Same old whinging twat fans, same old pathetic foriegn "fans" whining about how the club is shit and the fans are piss poor, same old left over glory hunters moaning we haven't won anything again, same old ridiculous substitutions from a has been manager, same old bizarre tactical decisions at silly times, same old injury after injury after injury and same old flattering to decieve.

Same old glory days out with great wins, same old comebacks against scum bastard teams, same old great promise with unfulfilled dreams, same old startling youngsters and tired legs, same old price hikes at the emirates, same old old guys living on nostalgia, same old media obsession with sticking the knife in and scandalising every small thing, same old ruining of the squad players by the manager, same old greedy bastard players/agents.

Same old FA/UEFA/FIFA, same old shit refereeing, same old sky ruining football, same old newly promoted teams reminding the EPL that there is football beyond the top 4, same old joke of a champions league, same old league clubs going bankrupt while teams sign players on £200k a week, same old nothing ever changes.

Same old football really.

let me clarify my point. i said its been brilliant from my point of view as a fan. i have loved this season because for me there was been something different, yes there have been awful lows but then there have been some amazing highs. i feel different this year supporting the team because i feel like they are my team not players playing for my team. where we are at now should be higher for a club our size but for me this season has been brilliant imo, always enjoyed the games not knowing what to expect and just loved it as a fan. football should have been better and summer too etc etc not arguing that, just saying that i have loved this season as a fan, in that way its been brilliant

You don't have to justify yourself, Ollie. Football's an objective thing and you are entitled to your opinion.
While I wouldn't go so far as to say that the season has been brilliant, some aspects have IMO been mouch more enjoyable than in previous seasons. Having a captain who wants to play for the club has been refreshing, as has not having our best players continually linked elsewhere as has happened for a few seasons now. Having players who (usually) look like they give a fuck and have some balls has been nice. The energence of Oxlade and rennaisance of Theo and Rosicky has been good to see.

Hasn't made the lows any easier - but it sure as hell has felt good, and different, to see.

Funnily enough, I feel the same as JSAO re Henry. Legend and all that and his goals were appreciated, but I found his re-introduction a bit depressing for all that, in terms of what it said about us as a club. About the strikers the manager has bought behind RVP. Scholes and Giggs are different at Manure because they remain sharp enough for the league. For all I love him, seeing Henry as a bit of a shadow of his former self was a bit sad.

but he wants to win it with his blind morals intact. What I mean is, as much as Maureen is a contemptable prick, he does what is needed to win no matter what. In no way would Wenger do that even if the league depended on it.

I think one of the main differences this season is our football has been pretty shit.

Even when we were winning fuck all for the past few years I can think of many times when we murdered Pool/Manure etc and many other teams (but usually didn't win). Remember that game a few years ago when Diaby scored an OG at Manure? We dicked all over them, they virtually didn't have a touch.

This season the football has very very rarely been special.

I always thought, with the way we used to play (and the players we had), a couple more players would have seen us win something. Now I think we need 4-5 players to win something.

Diaby and that OG :haha:

How the fuck is he still here?

Hes done nothing since to make up for that

Wenger has to be sacked just for that surely?

I was at that Manc game.

Played them off the park then Diaby does what Diaby does best. :doh:

Is there a need to call people idiots.

IMO in someways its been a better season the last season. This year i felt we had players who wanted to play for the team and who have worked hard compared to last season. Only thing is we missed a lot of quality and our football was not good as it has been. Team spirt has been fanatastic tbh the the lads have done us proud compared to last season.

I never thought we do better then 4th this season so if we finish 3rd then it would be an achievment.

I think this is a season of regret though, i mean if onnly we did not fuck aroud with the Cesc and Nasri deals and got them done early and bought in few players earlier we'd still be challenginf for the league now or even won a cup.

I don't think the squad really Gel'd together till xmas and that is what has cost us this season.

So in conclusion would id say this season has been a failure no but id say its been a dissaopintment though.

Of course, we have a captain who has been both consistent and represents our only player with true star quality, but its clear that he is worn out - and can't be expected to win games almost single-handedly as he was earlier in the season.

I disagree strongly with those who say that we lack talent in our team. IMO the only team in the league with more talent in it is Citeh. We have a few players likely to develop into true stars - Oxlade; Szceszny; Wilshere and Gibbs to name four - and decent players in almost every position. You don't go on winning runs like we have done without talent. And you don't get some of the results we have got without togetherness and fight.

What we lack at times is focus and discipline - and that is frustrating as hell.

Its easy to be over critical. There isn't a team in the league that has not had a shocking result or 2 this season. For all our gnashing of teeth over Milan away remember that the two top teams in the country played Thursday night football and don't any more. For all the disappointment of last Saturday, we are still above the team people have been creaming over all season. For all the money at their disposal Citeh are doing a good job of emulating us in 2008. United are being carried over the line, as always, by the most exceptional manager this country has ever seen.

So taken as a whole, it hasn't been a bad season. It feels worse because there is such strong reason to believe that this is as good as its going to get under the current regime.

the wider context is that he was speaking at the end of last season. from a players point of view he is right, as their ambition should be to win and aim for trophies/promotions etc.

a fan will be with a club far longer than any one player so our mindset should be broader than just trophies of course.

fair play, don't think the season has been as bad a most have made out but it should have been better.
