A few teams if you want to take the league table at face value.
True but I don't think they have a worse defence than City or Chelsea.A few teams if you want to take the league table at face value.
People underestimate how good Man U's squad is.
Not the team selection, but certainly the players from which to make that team selection. To be honest I'm still stuck at the sale of RvP. I'll catch up with everything that has happened since then and I'll probably be angry about it. Or maybe I won't care at all.the problems in the team have nothing to do with the board
In the end, Arsenal has turned into a joke club that is staffed by non-competitors who believe finishing 4th is a win. And the only reason they accept this is because that 4th place spot represents more money to go with the player sales, the increasing sponsorship deals, the world record ticket prices and the revenues from other, non-football related wheeler-dealing and interest bearing investments.

But don’t you find it odd that we used to be able to field a team that consisted of players like Almunia, Senderos, Djourou, Denilson, Bendy, Merida, Vela, Bentley…etc and we’d play Premiership teams off in a cup game. What’s happened? Those kids we played back then aren’t better than the guys we have in our squad now are they? Look where most of those guys are now.
It's an ever descending death spiral. Those players you mention grew up with genuine world class quality around them in the shape of Henry, Fabregas, RvP, etc. When the players see quality like that head out the door it's not exactly going to fill them with belief. They surely know as well as we do what this club has become. The motivation and confidence has been burning out for a long time. That is down to the manager but it is also down to the board. If the board hasn't grasped the fact we have been short of the quality that could really make a difference they should be shot. And if it's true they simply get led by the nose by Wenger (which I don't believe for a second) they should be shot, resuscitated and shot again. These guys know how to take but have you noticed them giving anything back? Or intervening in the very evident problems at this club?

So is that down to former players motivating the squad? What is the role of Wenger if he can't even motivate his team to take a game seriously? What sort I message is he sending out when he seems fourth more of an achievement then the league cups?
even that i would dispute. the song situation is the most recent example. the first choice replacement was vertonghen, who didn't want to play as CM. so who was next on the list? diaby. that's it. far from an extensive list. of course they could've have been others who he couldn't get but surely you agree, anyone, anything, would've been better than relying on a man whose career ended five years ago.
the rvp thing, fine he went. so let's break our balls for a replacement. not giroud or walcott but a real time, big fucking daddy who loves goals. he has sat next to the ceo for the past two seasons whilst the message of money being available is preached, so there is no issue bar his own decisions not to spend it. if he is just being complicit with the message, then in many ways that is even worse and degrades his once lofty reputation further.
i would love none of this to be true but unfortunately it is. it truly, sadly is the case. maybe it will all go tits up if he/when he goes but i've got to the point where i am so desperate for a change, something different, anything, that i no longer care. let's just do it. i'd rather lose it all than meander around wandering what could've been if only i had taken that chance.
