Good Bye RVP!

Beginning to think he'll be off soon, when we inevitably suffer our end of season collapse and win f*ck all again he'll be thinking he's had enough of this team of bottlers and will want a move to a club where he can win something.

He's said he's been here 8 years which is already a hint that he's thinking that's a decent stint, at his age if he wants to win some medals it would be a good idea to find a club to match his ambitions.

Just a shame we can't shift the one thing we desperately need to, the guy whose lack of ability is leaving us with no success and no quality players.

This season looks like an all season collapse. Be lucky to be in top 10

Not a lot to base that on though.

Baring in mind we have bought a load of players they will need time to gel (hopefully very soon :pray:)

There's not a lot to base any assessment of this squad on really.
Utd away, Spurs away and Liverpool at home are tricky games in any season. In the last two of those we were a little unlucky to come away with nothing (didn't see the Spurs game but a fan of theirs emailed me after and said he thought we'd been a little unlucky, I was at the Liverpool game and but for the sending off I think we'd have got a point).

We've looked pretty poor at times this season and not bad at others. Which sort of screams "mid-table" at me but it's fairly early days yet.

It's not like those games with Liverpool and Spurs were anomalies, as in we were winning all our other games and were just a little unlucky in those. I can't remember the last time we won back to back league games. We were lucky to beat Swansea so you can't look back at what might have been. It's just an assumption now, a stab in the dark if you like, to think we will suddenly find some sort consistency, when that hasn't been displayed for 20 odd games now.

Everything points to mid table unless we see an overnight transformation.

Well, the defence is fucking shoddy as fuck. We all know that, which puts all kinds of pressure on the rest of the team.

Confidence is low. Inexperience from Jenko, Gibbs, PingPong etc. No other recognised striker than RVP.

Basically, despite playing well enough in some matches (Spuds, Liverpool) we've still gone on and lost. And it's the confidence of the team that has done that.

The ability (whilst not anywhere near City) is good, the application and working model of it is fucked up. I still think we have a very good team. Arteta, Arshavin, RVP, Mertesecker, hjdksf.ds, Sagna, Verms, Song, Theo etc etc etc, are a match for anyone. It's the application of that talent....where fergie can make Park play well, we can't make Arshavin (by far the more gifted player) do a job.

Go figure.

But we ain't mid-table. Our form is though.

That.

We have more points now than Liverpool did last season.
It took a change of manager to get them going (although frankly, 'King Kenny's record isn't that impressive), if the players have lost faith in Wenger then maybe we need to change manager to revive our form but the players are better than mid-table, the way they're playing right now isn't. If they can get a few results and restore some confidence then things will get better, if we can't it could be a long, hard season.

He's had enough? nigh on 8 years as a part-timer? the only thing he can be relied on to do is get fucking injured in an International friendly, if the team fails he's got to shoulder a fair proportion of the blame not get fucking sympathy the poor lamb, he wants to stop talking up his prospects of a move and start working on his set pieces, what is it? 3 fucking years since our free-kick specialist has scored from one?
