We can't win anything this season, there's nothing to bottle.
Yes we're fighting for 4th place, it's a joke you should have a chance of getting in the CL with that to be honest, 4th place isn't an achievment it's a sign that failure is now acceptable.
It's not all about winning but for a big club progress is important and seeing the team move forward is important, it's been 6 years and we're no closer to winning anything that we were then, in fact we're further away....that's not progress.
I don't remember him ever saying that.
Well, no we weren't. We were 7th after 3 months, 3 points off of 3rd place (that was on 19th November, just over 3 months in). We were low down very early in the season after our car crash of a start but so what? Surely it matters where you finish, not where you are after 5 games or whatever.A majority seem to suffer the battered wife syndrome, where they feel it is better to stick with the pain than try the big bad world out there. I appreciate the positive results in the last month, but what about the crap the preceded it?. We were once 15th in the league 3 months or so into the season.
The rest of your post makes some sense (apart from the bit about writing off 6 points to Utd, before this season they'd done the double over us 2 years ago but that's the only time I could see for a long time, we beat them at the tail end of last season). Are there better managers out there? Well yes, there probably are. But I don't think there are that many and unless we pick a new manager very carefully I'd say there's a good chance we'll get worse after Wenger, not better.
Well I agree with that. The last month or so has been a bit of progress though. We've started to look good again and shown a bit of fight in games where we'd had setbacks. Not something we were doing much last season. If the Podolski thing is true then that is progress too, it shows a certain ambition. As I said, we'll see what happens for the rest of this season. If we crumble again then the last month or so has been another false dawn. If we keep the momentum going and finish strongly and then sign Podolski then I'd see that as some sign of heading in the right direction after, I'd agree, too long moving in the wrong one.
