So for that reason alone, we still have a chance of winning the league. I could list all my concerns over Wenger but I covered that at the start of the season. Now I'd rather just sit back at takes the games as they come, rather than drowning myself in pesimism about where we'll be at the end of the season. Otherwise it's just pointless turning on any game.
It's not a pessimism about where we'll be at the end of the season. The vast majority can already work that out based on a repeating pattern over a decade. It's the frustration of knowing that one change at this club, albeit the crucial one, and we've got a squad that could win the PL and actually compete in Europe. That's all it would take, somebody at the board level with a set of balls. But that's not going to happen so you are right, on our way to the inevitable outcome there will be ups and downs and we take whatever is on offer.
