If we don't finish 4th, do you want Wenger to leave at the end of the season?

[Joker]

pick out the word excuse in my post. it doesn't exist.

we could've, should've, would've yada yada. great, thanks for the insight. back in the real world, we are where we are, our targets were set for 4th, whether we like it or not, it's the minimal achievement and we're still on target for it.

go and bore someone else with your drivel.

We're not on target for it are we, as we're fifth, with Liverpool and Newcastle breathing down our necks and Chelsea (who's squad is bigger and more talented, plus they're making reinforcements this January) 4 points ahead of us. Moreover, it is entirely right to question why our target is set for 4th. In 07-08, we were looking to win the title; same in 09-10. In a few years time, our targets have dropped alarmingly, and it's not simply because of Man City's money either. We could have at least attempted to challenge them for the trophy, even if their resources meant that it would have been difficult. The lack of ambition of the manager and the board is pathetic.

And I'm not going to stop posting simply because you find my posts "drivel". This is a messageboard where everyone is allowed their say, whether you disagree with them or not. I've been tempted to report many of your posts where you've abused me and called me a City fan, but I didn't because I believe in freedom of speech.

Charlie, I can't accept that as a club we're broke, the numbers just don't stack up whichever way you look at it. Looking at this high level, we make millions on transfers every season now & make money on matchday, considerably more than what we use to bring in say 6 or 7 years ago. I accept we have a big expenditure on wages and the like, but what I can't and won't accept is why we net spend like a club in League One.

Is Arsene on some kind of protest in regards to clubs spending? Every single season we asset strip the squad and he either replaces the stars with kids or in some cases doesn't replace them at all.

Sure...nothing you can do about it but I whilst I thank Arsene for all he's done I think it's time for him to move on now. He's lost his way IMHO...doesn't have what it takes to win.

agree with this 100% and like i have said its time for him to have a new challenge as i feel he needs it and don't thing all this stress is good for him tbh. All im saying no one knows either one way or another if we have money or not.

obviously we do other wise we not have spend loads on AA or AOC or even Theo, but i don't think we have loads to go and splash 40 mill on neymar (who id love here).

IMO the board are hoping we drop out the top 4 (more dolla in their pockets) as we will pay less wages as top earners won't come here.

AW IMO has to stand up to the board now because its a case of Go hard or Go Home.

Careful there, somebody who believes in freedom of speech would never be even tempted to consider censorship or the sanctioning of speech. In fact if you make this mistake again I'm going to report you, and I'm just about the biggest advocate for free speech you could ever find.

What? That doesn't even make sense.

Sure they're fat, corrupt, outdated vampires but they're not actively retarded.

More likely they have some fantasy plan whereby the financial fair play rules kick in and everyone is dragged back to our miserly level. That would mean they are delusional though, which is hard to believe. Then again, our performances on the pitch are hard to believe but they still happen.

What's all this "if" stuff anyway? There is no way on gods green earth are we finishing in the top 4
