Woah. If you said 'after a depressing start to the season..', I'll buy it. But we have shown massive improvement. Had the first few games gone as well as the rest of the season, we would be considered title challengers pretty much alongside Citeh on points.
We have screwed up a couple of matches (since the good run after a poor start) but the same can be said of chavs, manu and citeh.Since September, I'd say Ferguson has fucked up more than Wenger if you are looking at it that way.
Pretty much agree, watching Henry score yesterday also reminded me of what is what like to have class players instead of the dogshite we have today......Wenger's been trying to convince us that his team are world class and going to be something special for years...Henry yesterday convinced me that the class of player in the days we were successful and those we have now are world's apart.
Henry is one of a kind, and they don't come along very often. The only players in the PL currently performing to that standard, I can think of that come close (and haven't yet proven it over a sustained period) are Augero and Silva.
That said, it shows how badly we need another finisher. We create more than enough chances, but don't put the ball in the back of the net enough. It's partly why I think Henry is a decent signing, because he'll find the space, and convert the chance.
We have no problem in getting into dangerous areas, we just haven't had anyone other than RVP who can consistently convert. If Arshavin could find some confidence, he'd be knocking a few in too....

Speaking to some rival fans today at work and even they couldn't help but raise a smile.
Henry.
What a man.
