Only. No-one gives a shit about how you start. Anyone can lead a marathon after the first 500 yards, you deserve no credit for that. What matters is where you finish, when all the fixtures have played themselves out.

Disparaging remarks about poor starts are about as meaningful as lauding a team who led the league in September and were relegated by May.
ahh wateva pal ive had this exact discussion with about 5 other people in a 20 page thread and i argued that this season has been nothing short of a shambles. i cant be arsed to go into full detail again because id just be repeating myself.

all i will say is a few months of good football does not make up for 7 years of crap and mediocre achievements, which once again is a point i made in that thread. finishing third is no achievement for me, especially as we were knocked out of all competitions during easter time (again) and the same mistakes were made (again). so wenger has done nothing out of the ordinary this season and if anyone wants to convey that we've had a good season then that really is embarrassing.
