    Vela has been pretty good for Real Sociedad tbf.

    Arshavin thinks he's coming back.

    Its been the same season after season for the last 5 years ffs. We always have shit loads of injuries, always get buried in awful PR propaganda from the club and always suffer the same bullshit from Wenger and Gazidis and nothing really changes, we still flatter to deceive that we are a good side and then just when you have a smile on your face and a spring in your step up pop Hull or WBA to beat us at home.
    That's how I feel about the situation. This team is unpredictable and would much rather wait to see what happens at the end of the season and in the summer. The team looks good at the moment and it would be great I'd they player like this all season, but we have to get there first and then deal with the summer transfer saga as well.

    The point about the signings is a good one, perhaps the period we have been shit for is the time it has taken them to settle in, i think Kos and in particular Arteta are fantastic players not just in ability and attitude but also in the shifts they put in to help their team mates. When the player of the year awards come out its only ever going to be RvP but i think those 2 have made this come back possible.

    I can dream we will overtake those lilly-white lilly livered upstarts from up the road but I do fear we are still an eggshell club at best. We also still cant defend and while set pieces seem to have improved we are clueless, embarrassingly clueless from throw-ins.

    A few things still need polishing I just hope this particular turd isn't too brown already.
    Point taken mate - and I agree that there's still a ways to go before we can start toasting the manager again. But IMO the last few games have given us more reason to hope. For me, there have been 2 differences to our earlier purple patch. First - we look more balanced as a team - and are creating more opportunities going forwards. Rosicky in particular looks more convincing than Ramsey in giving us drive, and we look like we have 2 wingers at last. Our 1st 11 looks as though it knows what each other are doing and we look like we have a plan. Remember - the teams we have beaten are no also-rans. Second - the team is playing for each other - and its plain to see the spirit and togetherness. This was not so apparent earlier on.

    In short - its not just the results, but the way we are playing that looks different. Yes, we have had false dawns before and we will inevitably have a poor result or two - but so will all the top teams. For now, the team and our manager have earnt a little more faith from me.

    ONE MORE SUMMER.

    thats all he's got.

    if he makes the same mistakes again, and does not sign up RVP, then i promise you that is it for me.

    and the same goes for the board.

    if we cannot keep RVP and offer him what he wants then its the start of the demise for the club. we can all clearly see that he is the best striker in the world and completely carried us into 4th/potential 3rd. what else do the board need a player to do for them to be persuaded to offer him a bloody big contract?

    he's no nasri. no cesc. he hasn't stated he's got a boyhood club nor seems interested by solely money.

    he is a complete role model and gentleman.

    if we keep crap like squillaci, chamakh, arshavin and dont replace them, or use the 'we will not sign experience because the kids need to grow' then thats it for me.

    we are darn well fortunate we have rvp otherwise we'd be mid-table. they took a massive chance by not signing a decent striker last summer/january but luck will eventually run out. it only takes an injury to rvp and we're done.

    and if we arent equipped for it, my tide will firmly be against wenger.

    we need to BUILD year on year, not have summers that set us back 3 years. so build on this year FFS.
    I agree with your sentiment, but just want to temper this view about RVP. Yes, he's a genius, and yes, the lack of backup could come home to bite us. But he is a lone striker in an attack-minded team that is set up for him. He is bound to score lots of goals. While he is fit, any manager would want to play him as much as possible. Few of the top teams have genuine strength in depth in terms of 'guaranteed' strikers, if you exclude Citeh.

    You could turn the situation round and say how effective our system is built around our striker. Yes, we are running a risk relying on robin, but we are half way through March and only have 10 games left for him to keep fit for. If the gamble pays off, it will be churlish to use this as a stick to beat Wenger with.

    Come on fellow Gooners, stop commisserating and admit that AW has lost it. He has become more of a PR manager with his apologist-like tendencies in recent years. Time we stop buying the horse manure he and other club officials are selling.

    Season after season our aim gets lower. Infact, this season is definitely the worst as every other season we'd at least be title contenders till we implode on the last lap and drop to 3rd or 4th. Now it is other way around where we grapling to catch up and/or maintain a CL spot.

    We were only winning under Wenger when France was the powerhouse of world football. Since their fall off, we've followed suit - how coincidental.
