Match Reaction Arsenal 0-1 Swansea

[Letters]

It's not WUMming for a start - see your own answer above which I accurately predicted. How can I be WUMming if you then go on to type what I said you'd type? Unless you are WUMming yourself?

Don't flatter yourself, you didn't predict anything, I'd already talked about fine lines and how the cup final result needs to be viewed in context.

Everyone understands fine lines, but it's not so easy to accept being on the wrong side of those lines 90% of the time.

78.5% of stats are made up on the spot, you know...

[QUOTE=Niall_Quinn;459580]How many attempts to beat Maureen now? It's pretty damn shameful[QUOTE]
Agreed.

And what about our record against a fading Man Utd? Crap.

It's not been great but we started to make amends in the Cup, let's see what we do on Sunday.

We beat a half-arsed gypo gang of mercenaries, looked good at the time, until everyone else started beating them to put things into proper context.

Well, they've lost some silly games since but not a single one at home (in the league). Actually they've won every game at home apart from one since we played them, so I don't think you can dismiss that result.

And now we're going to finish below them. Pretty damn shameful.

Not really. They've spent a billion quid and will probably finish a few points above us. Before this run we were 12 points adrift of them.

Win, lose or draw the cup, good ref, poxy ref, good performance, bad performance, it's time for Wenger to bow out. Even if Klopp or somebody else came in and did worse, so be it. It's worth the risk on the offchance they'd do better.

I guess that depends on how bad you think things are now. Last year we finished 4th and won the Cup. If we finish 3rd and retain the Cup then that's not a bad couple of seasons, I doubt fans of many clubs would swap with us.
Our CL record is rubbish. The league record...well, with the billionaires that's going to be tricky whoever is in charge. Now the financial restraints are not there we should be giving them a run for their money (literally) and there are signs we could next year, the new level of signings are making a difference and we have a squad that can compete.

Wenger won't do better. He had all the cards he needed this season and he's still going to fall at the line.Instead of saying maybe the new guy will do worse, how about saying maybe the new guy will do better? Could anyone do worse against our main rivals? Would it be possible?

Yes, it would be possible.
As for 'the line' it depends where you think the line is. I think it's the Cup Final.
Maybe the new guy will do better but I tell you one thing for free, a lot of the names bandied around on here have subsequently shown they'd definitely have done worse for us. We certainly need to be preparing for a post-Wenger Arsenal but we need to choose with care, there may be some better managers than Wenger but there aren't many.
