He realised he didn't have to.

Which big game was that. Did you miss the Barca match?

And Sanogo now has more league goals than our lot this year :lol:

Even without any signings last summer I was hopeful of us competing and naively thought we had a decent enough squad. Sadly the same old deficiencies keep rearing their head. Rank bad defending and nothing going forward.

Why dont we have a different game plan?

Why is AW still considered God among majority of Arsenal fans?

Mind boggles..

We badly miss one player. Cazorla. I can't see any other player in this squad that will change things for us. It's all fallen to shit since he's been injured.

Holes throughout the entire squad - it just looks good on paper.

It still should've been enough once the level of the league this season was realised but alas.

Fourth is looking a little tighter now. We'll go through the motions in the Champions League second leg and about half of the Premier League matches left and just win the others to make sure we nick 4th on the last day, to make sure that we qualify for the Champions League next season...

When we'll do the bare minimum to get through the group stages in second place, when the focus will then shift from the Champions League and the Title, to making sure that we finish 4th and qualify for the Champions League...

Where we'll do the bare minimum ... and repeat. Same old sh*te year after year.

Also, Merts and Kos have to be the pairing at the back. We've been shit for a while going forward and we've been pubbing it. But we've had a good defence at least.
