Even the king of them all, Cesc, has 'repaid' us lately with tepid, disinterested performances. He is following a well-trodden path of captains who leave us as shadows of their former selves. Nasri seems intent on following the Adebayor/Flamini/Hleb model - break through and then believe the hype and believe that the club is beneath you.

Is there not some point at which a rational manager would realise that its not working...


Sub...regarding the bit I've highlighted...

At the point where the board say to the manager we judge you on a results only basis from now on?

I'm pretty sure Arsene wouldn't still have a job at any of the other top 4 clubs in Europe let alone PL.

I think we're in a very sticky situation right now in as much as Arsene can pretty much develop the team the way he wants so long as he meets the requirement from the board which must be to finish top 4?
