    The squad is irrelevant, if the squad isn't good enough then it's the clubs fault so no 4th isn't a great achievement.

    You're using the squad as a copout to excuse our current plight, you can't do that as it's our own fault the squad isn't up to it, it's down to incompetence and frankly it's not acceptable. As for looking better next season, don't kid yourself, Wenger has been using this "one more years experience" excuse for donkey's years and it's never made any difference.

    Well, at least we'll have lots to moan on about on here as per usual. We already see the mood when we play some semblance of decent footie and eke out a win, place turns into a fucking ghost town.

    No massive achievement really. Not when all other 4th spot contenders are such utter shitte and we finish 25 points below the top 2.

    Very true , but I reckon most people aren't convinced that a blip in a pretty dismal season is a reflection on the quality of this team. Belief plays a big part I think and not many people really believe in this team.

    I noticed in the last interview Wenger using the "I believe" phrase again, the amount of times he says that he must have set some sort of world record over his time here.

    Yeah, not really sure why, maybe I'm just waiting for him to surprise me and say something different for a change.....never seems to happen.

    So what if the others are poor thats their problem, they should do better then. Lets be honest we should be no where near 4th this season if teams don't take advantage of that they never will.

    I do... in the hope for that day when he says "I am quitting this club as manager"
    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

    No but you don't need to know the future to predict what's been happening for the past 7 years happening again.

    I disagree, the competition is shite, we're shite just because we beat shite to 4th it doesn't make it a great achievement, we should be doing a lot better than we are and it reflects really badly on the management that we are so average and for a club of our stature and resources is simply not good enough.
