I think we need to stop talking about teams with bigger resources. If we were making the most of what we have then it's worth bringing up but we don't.

That's the attitude Wenger has when criticised or when the obvious flaws in his thinking or plans are placed in front of his eyes. It's the attitude of a stubborn and delusional fool, which when coupled with the attitudes of an also-ran results in one outcome - losing.

All these silly apologies and excuses and here we are ten years later with the hard evidence to examine. A record that is, in financial terms, excellent and in football terms appalling beyond comprehension. The sort of record no other manager could have possibly survived. Yes, two FA cups wins of late, laths half as many as the chavs have won in the last decade btw, but twice as many as Portsmouth or Wigan. The record is there, in plain sight, which is why the excuses have to be focused anywhere but on Arsenal. The chavs did this, the gypos did that, if it weren't for those pesky kids we could'a, should'a, would'a.

But, you know, next season is going to be different.

We could have beaten both the chavs and the gypos to the title last season if we'd had a decent manager. Both were very, very ordinary. Even with the manager we've got we should have finished ahead of the gypos - the richest club in the world. The money excuse is lame now. There's so much cash sloshing around the game not even the chavs and gypos can spend it fast enough.

Only if that manager had bought a defender, holding midfielder and better striker than MC Hammer in summer 2014 NQ

Hear Adebayor is available now.. :whistle:

Giroud is on 12 league goals, 3 behind Lukaku at 15. I think his highest tally for a season was 14 so he is on course to beat it. I think he can get 20 league goal this season if he can stay fit.

I don't like Giroud really but when he is on form, he is proper on form and it does last a good while. Although when he is bad and moaning no point him being on the pitch.

He's frustrating as hell, as shown with that silly miss last night, but his numbers are very good. "You can't win the league with him" is a stick used to beat him down a lot, but for us and our style of play, which he's integral to, I don't think we can win it WITHOUT him. We need him fit and firing every week.

Don't rate the guy, far too hit and miss, he's an average striker IMO, in our team a decent striker would get 25+ goals. Yes he scores some goals (he hasn't got close to 20 since he got here, 16 was his best I think) but he also makes a fair few horrendous misses which end up costing us points, scored a very good goal yesterday but that miss may have cost us the game.

We really need a proper striker now, there's no room for pretenders.
