And there go the goalposts again...
Wenger is arrogant, doesn't listen to anyone, he's cheap...but a few boos in the ground and he breaks our transfer record. Behave...
(By all accounts the only reason that deal was delayed was because it was contingent on the Bale transfer)
We signed Mesut off the back of beating the Spuds I believe.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
It's interesting when you start to peel back some of the results from last season and examine the idea that we improved and clicked together in the second half, a momentum we thought we could potentially build on.
In many ways we will more than keep that consistency, which is beating the mid to lower ranked teams. We had the perfect split of playing each team once before the New Year and once after, so easy to spot a pattern or real difference.
In the first half of the season we picked up 6 points from the top 8 teams (from 21 points) and 8 points in the second half of the season. So consistently underperforming there. What made the back end of our season look better is we improved at beating the mid to lower ranked teams. That was 27 in the first half and 34 in the second half.
It just confirms the idea that our current squad can do enough to meander into 3/4 spot as usual. The difference between taking ourselves higher is beating the better organised teams immediately below us at the very least and improving the squad in this window was vital if we wanted to do that.
