    Again: P16 W12 D3 L1. It's pretty exceptional.
    We were poor in some of those games but our defence was generally solid and saw us through. You don't go on a run like that by luck.
    And if you look at Spurs' results in the run in they certainly didn't collapse, I posted some analysis of their run-in a while back. I can't be arsed repeating it but if you look at some of the fixtures they had and the results they got they hardly collapsed. Our run was just too good.

    With regards to Higuain amd the Napoli bid. Tell me their record of signing top players. You say you don't believe anything, as soon as we are mentioned with x player you refuse to acknowledge we would even bid for them, yet as soon as the papers who reported us and player x say club y want player x you go along with that.

    You're not accusing Zimm of shifting goalposts are you?

    No it isn't if, you look at how we performed on paper it looks great but the reality is we weren't great and yet that run makes it look like we were in top form and brushing sides aside.

    The league wasn't great quality wise last season, that much was clear so that helped us somewhat. At one stage we were miles behind and needed some sort of miracle and them miracle did somehow occur. Did anyone think we'd catch them from 7 point behind after losing to them? I doubt it and to do so we needed more than a little helping hand from them.

    We know the team lacks quality, we also so how our standard of play has fallen, it was commented on many times last season and yet we ended up top 4. For a side of our quality to stay in the top 4 is impressive, but perhaps it paints a damming picture of the quality of the opposition as well that a side like us waltzed our way to 4th place.

    They've just collected 55 million, they need a replacement striker. Enough said really.

    I don't believe our bids because quite frankly we are a joke in the transfer market and have been for years.

    how can you not believe our bid when you believe someone else has bid instead when IT'S THE SAME BLOODY PAPER REPORTING IT

    You either believe both their stories, or none.

What is stopping him doing that? Like dein did
    I honestly blame the board. But I blame Wenger for not standing up to them. Which is why I want the next manager to be Mourinho, someone who is able to shift the pressures from himself onto the board.

    Of course I might be entirely wrong and that they are in it together....

    Mourinho would take all of wengers good work of getting the club through the transition stage and becoming financially better, piss it up the wall, sulk of in two years time and leave the club in a much worse state

    Anyone who wants Mourinho honestly has no idea what it means to be an Arsenal fan.
