Who Will Win The League - 2

[Letters]

Why? Because unless you understand the history of the club you won't appreciate that the last 20 years or so have been the exception, not the rule. If you do thank Wenger for raising your expectations then you've got a funny way of showing it.

The stadium move would have had more impact had it not come in the era of billionaires muscling in. Leicester haven't popped anything, the billionaires HAVE had a massive effect over the the last decade or so. I don't need to argue that, just look at where the trophies ended up. This is a bizarre season, Leicester are a black swan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan_theory). It would be nice to think it's the start of something and football will start to become less predictable again but I suspect the usual suspects will spend big this summer and the status quo will be restored.

Yes, Wenger needs to move on, I think he's taken us as far as he can. But "Thanks for the memories, Arsene, but it's time to say goodbye" is an appropriate tone, IMO, not some of the vitriol I see on here.

So we could have won more titles and dominated the league financially, if it were not for those pesky clubs who used their corporate muscle to win titles and dominate the league financially? Sounds a bit unfair on us.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. It allows us to conclude that the whole stadium move, more money, more corporate deals, more corporate everything plan was, is and will be a whole pile of shit. Planned out by people who did not have the best interests of this FOOTBALL club at heart and executed by people who made money rather than FOOTBALL the priority.

What we tried to do was get a little bit pregnant, along with the chav and gypo types. We were quite happy with the notion of moving to a big stadium and pulling in more cash than any other team in Europe and then using that cash to elevate ourselves to the top of the game permanently. That WAS the plan.

Except we did it in our usual half-arsed manner. When the chavs arrived we should have shit or got off the pot. We saw the money they were pouring into the game, followed by the gypos. But we chose investors who wanted to take rather than give - the opposite of the gypos. We invited in snakes who paid of the existing vipers at a huge markup. Not a penny went into the club, it all went to the wallets of private individuals. And then the snakes lay there and watched gypos turn up in the solid gold caravans, and still they kept their wallets hidden as our best players were sold and the team went to shit.

Wenger went along with all of this - boasting how financially stable we were, lambasting the newcomers for doing exactly what we intended to do, but on the cheap as always. We heard all the bullshit about it being impossible to compete given the resources the Russians and Arabs were INVESTING. We don't have investors, we have leeches. That's the real difference that no amount of excuses can cover.

If we didn't want to invest then we should have set about constructing a team that could compete, despite the money. Just as Leicester and the spuds have done this season. For years we heard that cups are one-off but the league table doesn't lie. Well 30 games in and that same rule applies, the league table doesn't lie and Leicester are deservedly clear at the top. Here's the proof that even a relegation candidate can mount a challenge if people within that club have a focus on football and the competency to build a team.

With our "investors" we lacked the will to focus on the football because we were too busy chasing the money. That's why we are 4th place trophy and Last 16 Cup legends. Because we made the money everything and told the football to fuck off and die.

With our manager we've seen a bloke incapable of building a team that can compete, despite the fact he's had 10 times the resources of a Leicester at his disposal. He simply hasn't had the competency required to get that job done.

The excuses are blown away and the reality has been exposed.

This club has been hijacked by corporate shitheaps and our magic hat wearing manager has gone along with it at every step.

When the investors needed to step up they instead sold our players. When the manager needed to step up he failed and blamed the fans.

What they all need to do is take their greed and their failure and fuck off out of our club. Then we need to get rid of the arrogance and sense of entitlement and the loser mentality and all the other bullshit of the last decade, we need to recover our humility and endeavour and focus on the football and our ambition to be the very best and we need to start a new project. A FOOTBALL project.

The sooner that's done, the sooner we get our club back.

There's at least 50%chance of us overhauling Spurs but the league is gone. Congratulations Leicester. Vardy and Mahrez are genuinely top players but Leicester's back line won't have another season like this.

Head over heart.

But I voted for us.

Anyone else cheering for Leicester today? Or is it just me?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

No Spurs have dropped points so I want Southampton to win, puts it all back in the balance

I know what you mean , but we will put ourselves back in the mix and fuck it up. Can't stand the stress!

[Kano]

Fuck Leicester tbh.

[Gooner23]

Leicester have Utd away, Everton and Chelsea away for there last 3 games, plus home games against saints and hammers. That's not an easy run in. I don't think we'll win it but I reckon it will be close at the end. Another glorious failure!

[Gooner23]

Should add that if Spurs are still viewed as contenders then we should be as well.
