Who Will Win The League - 2

[IBK]

It's one of the top 3 trophies

TBF, in this respect, I can see what AW is getting at. There is an element of good fortune in winning any Cup, whereas CL qualification requires consistency throughout a season - 4th place consistency granted, but nevertheless performance over a season. Second, in terms of player recruitment - a CL place pisses all over an FA Cup win. Third in terms of a club's prestige and financial security there is no comparison. Sure - for football fans, silverware undoubtedly is more important - particularly if like us you are perennial also-rans in the CL - and Wenger's comments rankle somewhat because as usual the aspirations of us fans appear to be low on the manager's agenda, and as MTG points out its rather hypocritical to object to Wenger's position while at the same time downplaying the FA Cups that we have won. But there's nothing particularly contraversial in what Wenger is suggesting...

Stop sucking Wenger's cock



It's obvious what he's getting at, it's obvious he's right. Top 4 shouldn't be a 'thing' but it is, and the fact it is is nothing to do with him.

4th place consistency

A definition of failure.

You posted an article in another thread, the Telegraph bloke going on about revolution and not accepting things because, "That's just the way it has to be." Did you read the article?

[Letters]

Yes.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yes.

So this is a simple case of lack of comprehension.

[Letters]

No.

[Niall_Quinn]

That was a statement, not a question.

[Letters]

Oh.

Wengers statement that , "If he wasnt doing a good job, someone at the club would have told him so" is a disingenuous as they come ans smacks of the arrogance of a man who knows he has the club and fans over a barrel. I doubt that Ivan even has any authority over him and those yokels masquerading as the "board" even less. It shows how disfunctional this club has become since Dein left. We can really put all our troubles down to the boardroom ego war that precipitated DD leaving and selling his shares.

It may take a while to put this club back on to a sporting rather than purely financial emphasis.
