Same shit, different summer?
Depends what happens.
I don't see the significant change and improvement some of you do. Don't you remember 09/10 and 10/11? When we were actually in the title race there were plenty of comebacks and late goals until the eventual collapse. I'll say it again an amazing run once its too late to challenge for a trophy isn't saying much. But lets see what happens in the summer, I don't think much will change. Podolski may come, RVP will hopefully stay but if we finish fouth especially third Wenger will be pretty satisfied.
Szczensy instead of that prick Almunia, Koscielny becoming our best defender, The rise of OC and RVPs goals are the major improvements, a better defence will mean better results and we certainly have grit. Wilshere still to come is a lot to look forward to. We have filled our first team with characters and they have a stronger mentality. Young GHELs who happen to be extremely talented.
May i add that Wenger after 3 or 4 years has finally stumbled upon the idea that maybe buying from the prem and spending big amounts on highly praised youngsters instead of plucking a nobody from africa is much more effective. Playing actual wingers instead of CMs on the flank of the attack was a great idea however why is Wenger so late to pick up on this?
I believe we're better suited now to the strains of the Premier League. The start of this season was tough but if you look at our results since October, we're actually comparable to City and Man Utd. I understand a season lasts 38 games but there was a lot of negativity around the club early in the season, it was a tough storm to weather but it looks like we've done it. I for one cannot wait for August, with hopefully a relaxed pre-season behind us we should be able to mount a serious title challenge.
Nicely put, and welcome to the board
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Thank you.Nicely put, and welcome to the board
A little optimism won't hurt anyone. We are definitely onto something as a team. I think Sagna must be given some amount of credit as he seems to be a very spirited individual, and has managed to rub off on a host of his team mates in a positive way since his return.
I say, if we see out this strong run through to the end of the season and consolidate 3rd place, key players, especially RVP will have high hopes for the next season. There and then, the ball will be in AW's court for him to show some ambition for a change, and make the type of quality signings that will make us real title contenders next season. This should not be too hard a task for 'Mr Frugal', as we only require 4 or 5 quality signings.

Just take pride in the fact that you can go to the emirates and actually enjoy the way the team plays more often than not. All this long termism is pointless.
Nice to see there are some Sensible gooners still out there.
Welcome to GW by the way.
