Wenger, April 2016 (talking about Ozil's comments a day earlier)

"Because we have to believe, no matter if it just one chance in 100, we have to believe. We only have a real chance if we believe."

So which is it? Believe, or be realistic and avoid dreaming?

That's a bit like asking kids in pantomime audience to chant "I believe in fairies" to bring Tinkerbell back to life

We are, if we win all our games and the spuds and Leicester fuck up and we don't get caught by the gypos or the mancs and we have great spirit and take one game as it comes but we remain relistic and avoid dreaming so we can believe 100%

Obvious isn't it?

I've no issue with the model of self sustainability but you raise for once a good point that ultimately even if you are interested in money the best way to get ridiculous money from sponsorship and marketing is to invest in a winning team. However for Mr Kroenke the clubs worth is just an asset for his portfolio, and the rest of the board are a bunch of coffin Dodgers who understand the modern footballing climate about as well as my three year old nephew understands the concept of credit default swaps.
You can imagine what a board meeting would be like, limited visibility due to cigar smoking

"You remember that coloured chap we used to have play for us?"
"Which one old boy?"
"The one we have a statue of outside"
"Ah rings a bell, anyway what about darky?"
"Well he's on the what do you call it the television, saying things about the frog we have knocking about"
"Damned inpertinence....wouldn't have stood for it on the plantation....anyway more brandy?"

lol!!!

I sort of get what Wenger is trying to create or instil in the players but it's just a little too late. The Invincible team had that superior confidence and never knew when they were beaten. They were strong mentally and it's probably why Wenger talks so much about the mental aspect of our team.and attitude. But it sounds a lot like he's trying to convince us and himself that this team are capable of winning and that the attitude is their because from what Ozil has said recently it sounds like it's not all there.
