I got an email from Arsenal today asking if I had any cheap playa to sell them. I said yes but didn't hear anything back. When I phoned it said the number had been changed.

We could have spent 100m And still finish 3rd.

3rd and a cup is still a pretty good season and you aren't going to get rid of a manager who does that.

Of all the possible reasons we can only hope that one isn't true. To set out with the intention of losing, surely even the suits at Arsenal have a little more ambition than that?

:lol: And there go the goalposts again...
Wenger is arrogant, doesn't listen to anyone, he's cheap...but a few boos in the ground and he breaks our transfer record. Behave...
(By all accounts the only reason that deal was delayed was because it was contingent on the Bale transfer)

We signed Mesut off the back of beating the Spuds I believe.

Obviously by challenge I mean "finish top 4"

It's interesting when you start to peel back some of the results from last season and examine the idea that we improved and clicked together in the second half, a momentum we thought we could potentially build on.

In many ways we will more than keep that consistency, which is beating the mid to lower ranked teams. We had the perfect split of playing each team once before the New Year and once after, so easy to spot a pattern or real difference.

In the first half of the season we picked up 6 points from the top 8 teams (from 21 points) and 8 points in the second half of the season. So consistently underperforming there. What made the back end of our season look better is we improved at beating the mid to lower ranked teams. That was 27 in the first half and 34 in the second half.

It just confirms the idea that our current squad can do enough to meander into 3/4 spot as usual. The difference between taking ourselves higher is beating the better organised teams immediately below us at the very least and improving the squad in this window was vital if we wanted to do that.
