So's your face
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
We finished 2nd last year, it was the first season in 3 where we didn't win a trophy of some sort and we have one of the best squads in the country and money in the bank to improve it. It's not that bad.
Agree about contract uncertainties though, that does need sorting out.
Also...found it!

The Chemical Tavern was the site that Marc (who isn't the person mentioned in this article although he is referenced, his username at one point was Mandela) and others set up.
If we'd bought in January to cover injuries, I think we would have won the league. With all of the big teams failing, it was ours for the taking, the one year we could have won it. Yes we finished second, in a very odd season, and we were 10 points behind Leicester!!We finished 2nd last year, it was the first season in 3 where we didn't win a trophy of some sort and we have one of the best squads in the country and money in the bank to improve it.

There's always a glass half empty and glass half full way of looking at things. I tend to do the latter. But we have a squad which should have won the league last year and should be challenging this. If people didn't think we were good enough to challenge then why moan about how things are going? And we've money in the bank and sponsorship deals and a global fanbase big enough to keep us at or near the top with good management. I don't think we're in bad shape.
If you think we should have won the league last year and should be challenging this year, how can you see that as good?
I don't think that's good, but if you think we have a squad good enough to win the league then how can you not think we're in pretty good shape?
Wenger should have won us the league last year. He didn't and should be sacked. But he won't be leaving us in bad shape for the reasons I've outlined.
I actually said we could have won it if we had bought in January to cover injuries. We're not in bad shape financially, but we're a football club not a bank. We want to win things, not line Kranky's pockets every time we get top four.
We've blown our adavantage somewhat IMO. we had the big new stadium to raise more revenue than others, now Spurs, Chelsea, Liverpool are all getting big new stadiums and that's advantage gone, we just haven't made the most of it.
I agree we had our chance last season and blew it big time, other top clubs really stuttered and the opportunity was there, but in the end we we left behind by mighty Leicester and that was our chance gone.
Now we have no chance, whilst I think we have some very good players, the balance isn't right and we are missing some key ingredients and I put the blame squarely at Arsene Wengers' door, he could have gone out and signed the right players in the summer but he chose to go for 3 players none of us would have really seen as solutions to our problems, in doing so he also wasted 90 million.
