In the good old days even when we were 9 points behind at this stage, most of fandom never gave up. Anyway....it is what it is.
Where do I start on this?
The funny thing about every single assertion you have made so far is you have put no evidence to support it. To think I am the one accused of acting like a woman, despite all your arguments being based on your "feelings" and safe repetitive balderdash that you re-echo from major posters on this forum. I could waste my time listing the Anelkas, Arshavins and Aubas we have signed in January, but you will still go back to your default groupthink.
The thing is you admit, like I do, that we didn't do enough in the summer to cover our weak spots. So what's wrong in having and taking advantage of a chance to correct it for the other half of the season? You even admit that we haven't won the league because we have half of our games to go, surely that suggests that putting in maximum effort to ensure your other half of the season goes well can't be a bad thing. Especially when its clear rivals are also making good use of it to address their inadequacies. Or is the whole world mad and we are the only ones who are sane?
I suggest sometimes we take a break and think "independently" about things. The idea of a place like this should be for us to exchange ideas and not just reverberate the company stance while patting ourselves on the back.
Again, like I've said over and over again, I'm not fully convinced we need another winger, so you won't get much of an argument from me on this.
Yeah I do think there is a possibility of us not making 4th, it involves Partey breaking his leg in February and not having adequate backup
The difference is my opinion is based on what you’re saying, your opinion is based on how you’re reacting to what you think I’m saying.
But yet you correct yourself half way through your post, first of all to say that I’ve behaving like a woman by not being confident enough to say we are favourites for the title only to then actually agree with the logic that means I’ve come to that conclusion.
And people like me have kept us unambitious? I love that you hold me in such high esteem that you think I had any ability to influence any decision taking by this club in the last fifteen years. I’d love it if I felt that Edu came on this car crash of a site and thought “HCZ thinks we should do this, better heed his sage counsel”. But ultimately you’re suffering from a delusional mindset…it’s a bit like how idiots blocking traffic think they are shaping the dialogue in any meaningful or constructive way.
What you and I think or how we behave in relation to this club…simply does not matter. This site is for the purposes of distraction, for Arsenal fans bored of their job, or their screaming ungrateful kids or their wife who every day they find that little less attractive.
That’s as far as our influence extends…if what I wanted to happen happened, Wenger would have been gone after the 8-2 defeat at Old Trafford. And we’d have signed a lot of players we didn’t sign, and I say with the benefit of hindsight that it would have been completely hit and miss whether it worked or not.
There have been transfers we’ve missed out on and failed opportunities that make me seeth, I would have liked to see us sign Mudryk…and I don’t think I’ve said our transfer strategy is perfect or even non sub optimal. It’s just on the balance, I can’t find it within me to feel too bad about a player that was signed for almost twice his realistic value on a silly contract.
You call it small club mentality and have presented no evidence of any big club that hasn’t ultimately made a Rod for its own back behaving that way.
