How is the second run in 09/10 of 7 wins and 1 draw just not as good? And how on earth is this anywhere close to the Invincibles?!!Originally Posted by Letters
Only one of those runs is anywhere near what we've done this year, and that's 2007/8 which is when we really should have won the title, might well have done had the Eduardo thing not happened. We've shown we can go on sustained runs of title winning form, we've shown we can win big games at the crunch time of the season, we've shown we can win trophies again under Wenger and we finally have a squad that can compete, not just a first 11. Questions remain about us sustaining a title challenge but I reckon only Chelsea fans would refuse to swap positions with us right now. But yeah, Wenger's an idiot who gets paid blah blah blah...
All that said, this run IS meaningless if we fail to finish the job. We have to win the cup. I'm less bothered about finishing 2nd although it would be a boost psychologically and stop the 4th place trophy nonsense.
Wenger's done ok this season and I think he will deserve a chance if we win the cup and beat Chelsea, but to pretend like this run is the best thing since sliced bread is laughable!
