Our points tally was always going to be hit by our awful start - 4 wins in 12 was nowhere near good enough and put me firmly in the "Wenger Out" camp. Since then there have been reasons for optimism though which has made me reconsider.
If we win the Cup and finish 3rd, or even 4th, then I guess you can't say that's progress since last season but over a longer period there has been progress. The new level of signings we're able to make have made a difference. We finally have a squad that I believe can compete. I'm not sure if that's the right point to change manager although the counter-argument is that if you don't think Wenger can push us on any further then we need to find someone who can. The question is who. As I've said, Mourinho would but I wouldn't want him near the place even though I think he'd win us the league.
