Napoli v Arsenal match reaction - let the bed wetting begin!

[Letters]

But do you get the point?

To an extent but we're not in Celtic's position where
a) We're one of the favourites for the title every year and
b) The only other serious contenders have been kicked out of the league.

Again, what makes you think it will be any easier next season once they're in their stride?

I don't think it'll be easier next season. But I don't think it'll be easy this season either and won't necessarily be harder next season. If Ozil is a sign of things to come in terms of our transfer policy then it may be easier next season, as others have noted we're still a bit lightweight up front.

ManYoo have lost the Fergie Factor, that's a massive plus for us and for anyone wanting to win the PL title. That's not a one season thing and even if they sack Moyes I don't think they'll be as good under anyone else. But the beneficiaries of that are more likely to be Chelsea and City than us. Both sides have changed manager but both have ridiculous, billionaire fuelled squads. A trained chimp could get them winning plenty of games with those players and Chelsea have a manager who has won the PL and CL more than once.

If this was back in the day when it was either us or Utd winning the title then I'd agree we'd have a real chance this year but with City and Chelsea's squads it's not that simple any more. We've had an outstanding start and for all their poor results here and there they're only 5 and 6 points behind us and we have both as our next 2 games.

Take out my message to Henry and there is nothing in my post you can contradict. You either made stuff up or you made ridiculous leaps.

It is not the first time you've done this, nor am I the first person you've done this to.

Don't start crying! Jeez!

Don't start crying! Jeez!

You really ought to stop misrepresenting things people say and then going on to argue against them on a point theyve never made.

Ahh, that’s a cop out and you could have clarified your position ages. You got stuck and decided to go all childish with that Henry response. IBK came up with the best response and sums it up really. It’s concise and to the point. Here it is again.

This. The bed-wetting taunt by the OP is childish.

No one is denying that we have had a fine season so far, but every title contender will come under the microscope and the fact is that we have already been found wanting a few times this season when the focus has been on us.

We have failed to top a group that we were in control of. A team with real winning credentials should have had the composure to get a draw against Napoli.

We lost to a bedraggled Manure outfit who have lost at home to the likes of Everton and Newcastle.

We only took a point from Everton after leading them at home with 10 mins to go.

Whatever our progress these are results that people will look at and be entitled to question our winning credentials. Throughout our trophy less years AW teams have always been capable of the kind of wins we achieved in Dortmund. Bottom line is that we have not really done anything yet to alter the prevailing opinion that we will not match the likes of Citeh over the course of the season.

No one knows how things will pan out but people are entitled to reserve judgment about this team in the meantime.

Maybe there is a gulf in expectations. Maybe you’re a bit blasé about our results because you don’t feel as if we’re contenders for the league whilst other feel we need to show up for the big games because this could be our best shot? You tell me. I wouldn’t want to leave this open to misinterpretation.

I honestly can't be bothered any more.

I feel hopeful in the direction the team is taking , accept there will be setbacks along the way, but feel we has a better chance of success longer term. We no longer need to weaken the squad or at best stand still while others go nuts. I think there is a chance we'll win the League this year, but it is highly dependent on us remaining the FTBs we've been to this point.

Sign a striker in the Jan window and we could be away. But if compelled to part with money, it would be on City. Getting rid of Mancini made them stronger, not weaker as has been implied by many.

I made these points and plenty more throughout the thread. And while I shouldn't have done the Henry bit, I do not recognize the argument you are attributing to me.

Letters, that was a really bad post. I'd delete it if I were you.
