To me it is. Our position in the past has nothing to do with what we expect now. And we're clearly nowhere near maxing our resources. When our back up strikers are worse than nearly all the others in the league and a fair few championship team is that us using our resources fully. A guy on a free who can barely get a game and when he can does nothing and another striker who so bad can't get a game. Is Wenger banking on rvp staying fit with his injury record and having those two in wait using resources fully
Everton were able to buy a good striker for 5 million, Newcastle another one for 10 million both contributing to their team straight away. How is that a team that was relegated 2 years ago can now overtake us? Really, is that where should be now, struggling to keep ahead of Newcastle.
Yeah Newcastle having one good season means they can overtake us, If your appying that logic then it goes for 14 other teams in the prem too.
All i know is the board will do things the same way they always have and until a new man comes in or Stan gains ful control not much will change. No of us no how much money there is to spend and none of us never will.
Like i said if Letters feels finsihing 3rd its his issue does not mean he not want the club to do better or the club should not do better.

i'm not sure you get this whole supporting a football club thing.
Ignore him. If it was Chamachk this thread was made for he'd be giving to him. But because its Cesc and he left because that bad man Wenger made him Cesc has to be treated like a victim and Arsenal Legend he never was.
Who cares about former players, thats the point their former players. Its ok to be thankful for what they did. But their is not wrong with laughing at them.
I don't know what you mean by using the word 'excuse', it's not an excuse it's just factual information about our history. Yes, in the 70s ManYoo weren't even in the top division. They should remember that and they should be thankful for what Fergie's done for them. They should remember that historically no club has dominated football forever and that they're lucky to have seen the things they have, as are we. Fans of most sides have never seen their side win the league let alone the double. Liverpool were the kings of the 70's and 80's, who knew that when they regained the title from us in 1990 it would be their last title to date. To expect the level of succcess which Utd now enjoy, and we enjoyed for the first half of Wenger's time with us, is unrealistic. We should have done better in the last 7 years but some people on here are under-estimating how hard it is to finish in the top few every single season. No-one else bar Fergie has done it. Yes, we should have won some trophies along the way in the last 7 years and that is Wenger's failing, but he's hardly taken us to the brink of relegation. It could be better but it could also be a lot, lot worse.
Another wegner moan up... Ah GW, never change.
Between *tight hamstrings* and back passing the ball to Messi on the edge of our defence, I'm quite satisfied seeing yet another one of our supposed stars, bottling it just as we have for the last half decade.
Fabregas:
“Football is unjust sometimes. But if there’s one way you want to lose, it’s like this, being true to our style. Chelsea’s playing style damaged us, we were far superior and we created chances.”
Man up, bruv.
It's not unjust. Had you stuck your chances away in the first leg, you'd be in the final.
He's a muppet. He's made for the English league not the Spanish league. He's a power player not one of those tippy-tappy players. The style of football he's suited for is the type of stuff Chelsea play so don't know why he's so overdefensive about playing football 'the way it's meant to be played'.
He's like a bender in the closet acting homophobic so people think he's straight. Like Cripps.
You're a pub-teamer. There's no shame in it. If you want to be an elite footballer, you need to play in England. You're not good enough to be Spanish.
