    I agree to an extent about the quality of the league and our quality but I don't see how that's relevant.
    No, I didn't think we'd finish above Spurs after being 7 points behind them but then I didn't expect us to go on that sort of run. If you look at Spurs' run in game by game they only dropped points in one game you'd really expect them to win - Fulham at home. But that is somewhat mitigated by them beating City at home (who were on an excellent run) and drawing away at Chelsea (who dropped very few points at home last year). Their run-in results were excellent, ours were just better.

    We hardly waltzed into the top 4, we snuck in there on the last day and only did so by going on the sort of run which if you extrapolate over a season is championship form. I agree we didn't look convincing but as you'd be the first to say it's all about results and we got them.

    FOH with your holier than thou attitude.

    so Mr True Arsenal fan, let me get your sacred opinion then.

    Is Wenger or the board responsible for the refusal to spend any sort of money?

    Is being a true Arsenal fan contented with prioritising a financial model that requires us to consistently sell our best players and to never be competitive?

    I guess yes, I'm not a true Arsenal fan if so. You can have that you miserable twat.

    Let me rephrase, someone 'like' Mourinho who is not afraid to make statements and therefore give us as fans a better idea of what is actually going on. Right now, our state of being financially better is translating to the board level, and not club level on the pitch so as of now there is no evidence to suggest that our financial model is actually doing AFC, a football club any service. Evidence is pointing that it is doing well for AFC if viewed as a pure business entity.

    Yes, Wenger or the board are responsible for the lack of signings (so far)

    mourinho is worse than a war criminal but whoever comes in next won't be around for a long time. wenger is the last dinosaur left roaming an extended tenure. 3 year managerial deals all round for minimal risk for the club and keeping a managers 'options' open. they are all as devious as players now in seeking their next 'project'.

    Completely digressing, but I'm actually suprised that Klopp geezer is staying on at Dortmund. He must be the next big mover shirley?
