    You can just smell the satisfaction in his interview though, in his eyes our season has been a good one, that's why things will never change he blanks out all the bad and the overemphasises the good and this means he never really feels a compulsion to make the necessary changes, if anything he signs a player because he likes him rather because he's what's needed.
    In terms of the ambition of the club it has been an excellent season. Qualification for the CL, extra prize money for a 2nd place finish, topped the league in TV revenues, no money spent in the summer, Wenger found that fiver down the back of the sofa. Superb.

    What is worrying though is that Wenger seems genuinely pleased and sounds like he thinks its been a successful season. I would not be surprised if we signed no strikers this summer.

    This is the gayest stat out there:

    Arsenal would have won the Premier League this season if shots against the post or bar had gone in.

    If wenger sees this, we're doomed.

    Confirms what we all know tbh. If we had a top striker up front instead of that French donkey we would have won the league this season.

    Totally meaningless stat, one what was our record of hitting the bar or post compared to that of other sides. And most shots that hit the bar or post do so on their way out not on their way in.

    I think Liverpool had a similar stat back when they finished second with Suarez and Sturridge, scored 101 goals and still finished second

    It's the atmosphere caused by the fans. Makes the usually unerring shooting of Giroud and Theo drift off target.

    It also makes them jump out of the way of tackles, opt not to take the responsibility to shoot and trundle back towards goal when the opposition has the ball

    I wonder if it is more relief than pleasure. Imagine the outpouring scorn and "hate" that would have been directed towards him and the players if they had failed to come above Spurs as well not winning the title.
    While all answers are responses, not all responses are answers.

    Fat Rafa hauled Wenger's arse out of the fire, that's for sure. But the relief of not being the spuds won't last for long. Soon enough everyone's attention will turn back to being Arsenal.
