We'll lose against West Ham.
We'll produce one good performance before Christmas.
We'll be in the same position next year.
How many years of exactly the same will it take people to see a pattern?
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Everything resets at the end of our season. Even intelligence.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
People do see the same pattern but what do you expect them to do?
It's football. There is no logic. You just keep supporting. When you're drugged by it as a kid there's no escape. You know the drill.
Lol! Twice

If it's going on the same thing year in year out then we'll win a lot of games in December.
Things aren't exactly mirrored but if you look at every season where we have had title aspirations it's generally gone belly up between mid February and mid March. It's not a mystery it's always when the champions league starts again it tends to fuck us up.
Of course there's a pattern but:
1) Some of the failings we see now have always been there under Wenger. People act like he's suddenly gone mad and now has no clue what he's doing. Balls. He's still a very good manager, you don't finish in the top 4 every single year if you don't know what you're doing.
2) Patterns don't necessarily go on forever. I remember we met up before that League Cup Final vs Birmingham and we bumped into each other afterwards and we were both FUMING. I think we both felt then, as many did, that that was it - we'd never win another trophy under Wenger. But now we have. A few years ago when we got the new financial deals we started to spend proper money and it's got us players like Ozil and Sanchez. Those players can make a difference, they are making a difference. Whether it's enough, with a few other additions this year, remains to be seen. If I was a betting man I'd say no, but while we're up there I have to think we have SOME chance, otherwise what's the point in watching at all? It's the triumph of hope over experience maybe, but the whole point of watching sport is you don't really know what's going to happen.
Just seen what happened in the Bournemouth vs Liverpool game...
Case in point!
I hope this thread continues to provide me embarrassment all season.
