Match Reaction v Wigan

We are 3rd despite being awful for the most part.

Imagine if Wenger/board/players actually gave a shit this season, we'd be walking to the title and that is where the frustration sets in. Posters on here are happy with the mediocrity we have shown this season. Others want better cos this team can produce better

Stop talking rubbish. Who one here has said they are happy with 4th place or happy with the club? End of the day people were happy the team won yesterday that all. no one is having a wank over it or saying all the problems are fixed.

Now i can't speak for others, all i want to see is the team win as many games as they can(well all of them, if they could).

we're happy when we finish 3rd and it's seen as a momentous achievement. only recently 3rd was seen as a disaster.

wenger is a genius, because as i said a couple of weeks ago, only a genius can dethrone a team like he has yet sit on his throne with an army of supporters still backing him.

all whilst milking the highest salary in the league- a salary greater than the salary of a manager who has won 4 league titles, 1 champions league, 3 league cups, 4 community shields and 1 fifa club world cup compared to wengers almighty zero.

genius? i think so.

So when you say We're do you include yourself in that. Cause im not happy when we finished 3rd and when we finished so many points behind 1st place.

Wasn't pretty, but professional and good graft in the second half.

If only we would add two or three extra super quality players to the team. We'd be challenging for the title.

Ah well. Three points. On we go.

Speak for yourself :coffee:

Saw the amount of posts here and figured we had lost. Looks like it was not pretty, but I'll take a win over Christmas. I think the results are immaterial as to whether we make any signings or not if you take Gazidis at his word, as well as being a fool, we can look forward to the club being active from this point on, but if we are not looking like contenders for the CL places, we won't be able go sign without paying over the odds, and that is unlikely to happen unless Wenger is after the next. Hamakh!

Not seen or heard anything from the game but 3 wins on the bounce is a welcome relief.

If expectations were ever so high that 3rd was seen as a disaster then that's entirely down to Wenger.

you keep making that point.

what do you want us to do about it? cherish him and follow the warped master until he drives us 6 feet under?

'being here thanks to wenger' bides him some time. 7 years in fact. now he can sod off.

It's also down to Wenger that 4th place now is considered a major achievement now and is the definition of succees and that picking up trophies doesn't matter as much as long as you get 4th.

Give me back the pre-Wenger days anytime because at least then picking up trophies was considered success not anything else, it's one thing coming 4th every season but entirely another thing hailing it as success.
