well because there seems to be something different this year. its a 99% done deal with podolski and pretty sure yann m'vila is coming too, with some other siginings too. wenger seems to be getting transfer deals done early. ive said before, keep this squad, lose the deadwood, 3/4 sigings and there will be a title challenge next year.
My fear has always been that we'll get worse after Wenger. And please don't say it couldn't get any worse, we're 3rd!
When we were languishing in 7th I got to the point where I thought we didn't have much to lose. We looked like a very ordinary side, I wasn't enjoying watching them and it seemed certain RvP would leave in the summer and that we'd need some serious rebuilding. More recently in our good run I've seen something in the team which gives me more hope. We've hauled ourselves into the top 4, played good football and the players looked like they cared about the club and results. Right now it looks like something we can build on.
I accept there have been plenty of false dawns before and that we have failed to build on promising teams before.
I guess we'll see whether last weekend's result is the start of a 3rd and final poor run of the season or just a blip in an otherwise strong finish to the season.
anyone who says this has been a great season is having a fucking laugh.
out of all competitions in march and another trophyless season. same mistakes happening over and over again. our worst start in 50 odd years.
get a grip.
This season has clearly not been brilliant or anything of the sort. It's been run of the mill and in keeping with what we reguarly produce. Some dreadful performances that leaves everyone thinking we're fucked. Then some terrific form that has us all wondering what the future may hold. We've seen it all before and my biggest problem is that despite everything we're still no closer to knowing what the fuck is going on at the club and what direction the team is heading in.
