    Typical of Letters. The car has to hit the wall for him to notice something is wrong despite being told on numerous occasions the driver has fell asleep.

    The whole argument is quibbling over terms anyway.

    You’d have to ask him yourself but I doubt he’d deny that regardless of how it’s labelled fans are being forced to eat a giant shit sandwich.

    The whole club seems to be a self aware Truman show, set up for the sole benefit of one person who unlike Truman is aware of the truth but fights to escape reality from inside the bubble.

    I think at one time he did care about the fans, but just thinks they are ungrateful and thinks his service to the club gives him the lifetime pass of self indulgence and no one at the club has the clout or inclination to divest him of this notion

    If only he would fall asleep. If he started sleeping in on weekdays and took the weekends off we'd see an instant improvement.

    Meanwhile, another debate on our "progress." No doubt GW is years ahead, fans and pundits are starting to talk about what was obvious here years ago.

    I don't know if it was a blip because I don't know what will be required to finish top 4 this year or where we will finish. That changes from year to year too. The last 4 years it's been:

    76 (75)
    66 (66)
    70 (64)
    79 (72)

    Number in brackets the team who finished 5th. There's no clear pattern there.
    There are indications we could be in another period of decline right now but comparing one season to the next is not enough in itself to know for sure, you need a more sustained period to determine that.

    Or maybe it's because he can't admit defeat and trying to save face?

    Just listening to it. I'm shocked really. They discuss these issues like it's the first time they've seen this problem. We've been struggling to breakdown teams for years. Our wingers have never taken it wide, all of our players play it safe and refuse to take a man on (Alexis excluded). The story of Bellerin is all too familiar. Ox and Theo had the same problem when trying to attack the wing.

    Not surprised that fans have grown tired of it all and just accepting it. First time I've listened to Arsenal Fan TV in months. I've stopped listening to the podcasts...god knows why I still post on GW.

    I thought it was because you enjoyed the sense of balance and reason I bring to debates? No?

    More seriously though, there isn't much to talk about right now.
