"...so I guess time will tell."
How much time? He's has over a decade. How much more time will it take to tell?
What other manager has had so much time?
And here we are, no defence, no midfield, 100 mill quid of disconnected strikers up top. Losing to Newcastle to keep our perfect record of ZERO points away from home in 2018 intact. Literally the worst away club in British football. The worst!
How much more time?

There was a year where it was the opposite. Our home form was bad but our away form was good. As people keep trying to tell you, it comes back to the manager. Everytime. There is no debate to be had about it. We can improve in one area and then fall short in a major way in another. It's like watching a watching a ridiculous Frank Spencer comedy routine where he somehow, someway ends up in a ridiculous situation.
We can try to improve on our away form next season but something else in another area will fall apart. There is no other way to solve this problem.
It has been covered on this thread already but our team lacks so many required fundamental aspects that going away and expecting to win anywhere in PL has now become fruitless IMO.
NQ summed it up earlier, we have no Defence, No Midfield and a disjointed Attack.
This team lacks a personality and quite clearly isn't setup or organised in any logical sense.
We all know what the problem is...it doesn't even need to be repeated again and again.
Bragging rights for a day and cash for the board. That's all we get.
I'd easily sacrifice the EL if it meant getting a serious title challenge next season. Not even winning the PL - just challenging. That's enough and far, far more valuable than any second rate cup for losers.
But even that cup would be useful as a stepping stone. But it won't be. It'll be a watering hole in Wenger's desert of mediocrity. It'll keep us going so we can trudge through another year of desolation.
Pointless. A fun day out. That's the maximum value if we intend to let Wenger drag us off into the shit the day after.
Now if we won it and he resigned the next day. That's joy. The Losers Cup win would be fun. The joy would come from that resignation and the whole new world of possibilities it opened up.
He won't resign though. No chance. And 99% chance we won't win it anyway. More chance of us finishing up 7th to round out another dismal Wenger season with fuck all.
