Great. Another thread that had turned into a tedious whinge at Arsenal fans. When certain posters get involved, you might as well stop reading the thread.
Nasri is a ****.
Cesc is insignifi****.
Charlie, sometimes I dont feel like responding to your rhetoric's but you are so adorable that I cant resist!
IMO, we have CL football and a manager who can spend decent money to get new players. We have a manager who has freedom to make changes not only in football matters, but also business matters at the club. Thats great resources for ANY football manager. No other manager has that kind of freedom other than may be SAF in England yet we are far behind. A few of the posters here are classing AW's achievement of being 3rd now based on the failures of Chelsea and Spurs. I am looking at where Utd and City are, and want to be where they are.. you can either look down and feel happy or look up and be inspired. Looks like your call is to look down and feel content!![]()
Yes we have the resources but City and UTD have better Recources then us do they not. Of course AW should use the resourse he has to the maxium to help the team succeed.
Of course the club should aim higher even if the fans are happy with 3rd.
I was talking about this season not the last 7 so i apologise if i mistook what you said. But with sqaud we had this season id have to say 3rd would be good for us (this season).
If We spend big in the summer then no way would i accept 3rd as the maxuim we should achieve.
Well not really. I think it's valid to compare yourself to the best and aspire to be the best. We should be doing that. But we should also be realistic. You said above that we have the resources to be one of the top 3 in world football. How so? ManYoo, Chelsea and City can all massively out-spend us. One is a bigger club, the other two are bankrolled. And that's just in this country. The two Spanish teams have bigger resources too.
Sadly these days there is a correlation between money and success. I do think things were mis-managed last summer which left us struggling this year. Wenger is to blame in part (I don't believe entirely) for that but he deserves some credit for us being in 3rd rather than in mid-table right now as we all feared. I don't think we should be too disgraced about being below the sides above us for obvious reasons, I do think we should be closer to them though given our resources.
You forgot to say 'bumbling idiot'![]()
Pretty Much.
Until we taken over by some rich suga daddy we'd always be 3rd or 4th best in this league and have less advantage over the other 2 teams.
The Owners want quick success and will buy the best to get it which leaves the rest of us fighting over the bestof the rest.
