I found Cripps and he said


Asked for 80+ points.

I'd be happy with that whether it brings the title or not

Is that the same Cripps who was banned by a WUM for being a WUM?

I'm more worried about Spurs at the moment TBH, they've been slowly going about their business closing the gap on us, they have fared very well in the big games too, they haven't really lost one yet, they really worry me, they are solid at the back, have a very good keeper, solid in Midfield and in Kane & Alli have two superb young players.

It scares me that they could be the dark horses this year because I don't really see a big weakness in their team.

Spurs are, irritatingly, a good side right now. But they have drawn too many so far to be taken too seriously, if they can sort that out then they've got a chance.

Why?

That's the point. The poor old fans will keep believing right up until the maths call time on the latest non-challenge.

Why shouldn't we? What's the point of watching if you don't have any hope?

The "last 10 years" argument is lazy and simplistic. I've explained why, I can't be bothered repeating it.
Players like Ozil, Sanchez and Cech could win us a title. Whether they will remains to be seen but even after this wobble we're level on points with City. To declare them Champions Elect and us no-hopers when we're level on points is ridiculous.

It's you threw in the towel after 4 games, you threw in the towel in the CL after 2. All you did early season was WUM about my "it's too early to judge" statement even though it's obviously true and has been shown to be true - we never went 10 points behind, we are in the title mix. We did qualify from the CL group. Chelsea seem to have the Indian sign over us. They've beaten us twice this year and both times had the numerical advantage, it would be nice to be able to play them, just once, with 11 players vs 11 and see what happens.

While we're in the title mix I'll believe we have a chance. If we fall out of it then yes, #WengerOut. With this squad we should be challenging. So far, we are. As pissed off as I am about yesterday's result the fact is no-one is being consistent this year, the whole league seems more competitive. A few clubs have a chance right now and we are one of them.

Same old story against Chelsea, we always lose to them. The manager plays the same way against them every single time, he makes the same mistakes and has the nerve to blame Costa for having Per sent off. That ball in between the CBs is so easy to play against us because Per is slow and the RB is always high up and when you come up against a tactically organized team/manager, you will be exposed. Last season at Stamford Bridge, we conceded the 2nd goal after a simple ball between the CBs opened us up and Costa was there to finish. Its the same old shit that this manager keeps producing and enough is enough.

I am actually hoping Leicester can hold on and win it. It will show the old farts managing us and United that they dont actually know what they are doing and a team with a 1/5 of their resources can win the league right from under their noses. It may also convince a few on this forum, that Billionaire clubs are not the reason why we havent been able to win the league in 10 years (though I doubt it). Also maybe we may be able to get enough fans to kick up a fuss and prevent our old codger from signing that new contract or at least the next one being lined up after this one. If Wenger has his way. He will be here till 2022 at least.

No point protecting Elmo, the league is full of shit kickers, he'll face a new challenge every week regardless. He's played in Europe for a couple of seasons so I'm sure he's familiar with a different level of intensity and quality. Might even have played against Chelsea if he was with them when they faced Basel? But anyway, all he needs to be able to demonstrate right now is some positional awareness and he immediately becomes a better option than Flamini and Ramsey. Without even seeing him play I have faith that he won't be as braindead as either of those 2.

New players come into this league every year and make explosive impacts. Why must we always wrap our lot in cotton wool?

I agree.

The premier league isn't that fucking special that it's in another planet of football, let's be honest. PL teams get spanked regularly by most of Europe in the EL and CL the last few years.

Christ, momo was I. The team that beat Chavs in the CL so he can't be that bad!!

I'm fed up with the same old shit with Wenger, it's gone on for far too long now - there are no more excuses left for him. Pathetic.
