The kid has yet to feature for us and he's been injured all season. It pisses me off the more I think about.

Yes....that did irritate me somewhat to say the least.

Arguably the most ominous omen was Wenger's line in the summer about working towards competing at the top level in the next 2/3 years. I died a slow, quiet death that day and could barely believe what I was hearing.

As much as I am glad he remains and want him to continue I cannot escape the nagging feeling that the manager just doesn't fully accept or want the challenge of managing a top club in football in its modern day incarnation and malevolent-quasi-bastard form. I feel he is too ingrained and indoctrinated to football and Arsenal to come to that realisation candidly and walk away from it all.

I hope I am wrong and that the continuation of flogging the future either ceases or slows down. We do not want to see the club come of age in the future with someone else at the helm, we want to see it come of age now, with you at the helm Arsene. Least I do anyway

And I actually think Wilshere was okay yesterday aside from a few moments. I must be mad...
