Some poasters are overstating the extent to which other poasters think other poasters are overstating the problems. You penises.

Of course we have improved, there's no doubt about that. By how much is up for debate I suppose but we haven't been competing like this in years so it's a significant improvement.
For me now it just comes down to mentality, like it always does at this time of year. I believe the team is good enough despite lacking in firepower, but there's a common reason nobody believes we can win anything and that lingering doubt will always be there until we actually do.
But they are the same problems that keep happening time and time again.Most people learn from mistakes and solve problems,but you cant solve them if you dont think they are there.Originally Posted by Letters
I've seen Jonas defend the Kallstrom deal and say it's a good signing. When you you're up against that sort of mentality this is the result.
We've gone over this thousands of times on here and it's surprising more alarm bells aren't ringing. Now that we have the resources and Wenger is still holding back and not putting his foot down, even though he's in the last year of his contract.....it's the same crap. Different questions need to be asked. The Board need to put more pressure on him, put better people around him or simply find a better manager.
I don't think there are as many of those around as some people like to think.
We're a point off the top of the table, flanked by sides who have thrown money around like it's going out of fashion.
If we collapse horribly - and I fear we may - then we'll have made almost no progress after all but let's at least wait for that to happen before we draw conclusions.
Stop picking on one particular point and rolling with it. We've heard you repeat that a thousand times and I think everyone is fully aware of risks. If option A isn't viable, explore options B and C.Different questions need to be asked. The Board need to put more pressure on him, put better people around him or simply find a better manager.
Well he certainly not much cop at finishing the job as proved by his last 8-9 years, maybe we should have him in charge until January and then bring in a manager who can turn potential into success for the 2nd half of the season?
I guess it depends how long people are happy to see us coming short, if you're happy coming 3rd/4th every season without ever seeing your club pick up a trophy then he's fine. If you'd rather see your club do well and then have something to show for it at the end of the season then maybe he isn't?
I'd rather see my club heading in the right direction. For the first time in years I see that now.
If we collapse horribly then we won't have made much progress at all, if any. That remains to be seen.
Letters - you are becoming a bit obsessed by the spending power of Citeh and Chelsea. No one can deny that hey have a massive edge - but if you look at the points we've dropped, most of these are against teams less bankrolled than we are. If we finish 3rd - in principle sure you can say that we only lost out to billionaires who bought their title places but IMHO failure to finish higher will have more to do with our own team's shortcomings and the manager's failure to make the best of the club's resources.
