Match Reaction vs QPR

[Letters]

just read theo's comments regarding this match. i still cant see the mental strength in this team

You don't think coming back from going behind in 4 PL games in a row (as opposed to falling apart) shows a certain resilience that hasn't been there in past seasons?

[Power n Glory]

Last season we had the record for scoring more goals around the 90th minute mark than any other team. Some seasons before that we had an unbeaten run that was also lauded as a sign of strength and maturity. Until we actually win something and show consistency, it means nothing because we always have a point in the season where people think we've turned a corner.

I think that's fair comment. We'll see. From the early season malaise they seem to be heading in the right direction. It may well be another false dawn though. We'll see.

How many false dawns have we had since 2005 btw?

Is it one a season or have there been 2 in some seasons like this one? Alwful start to the season, won a few games in October (False dawn 1), turned to shit around december/january time and then won 7 in a row in March (False Dawn 2) before turning shit again.

How many does it take for people to be convinced that this is what will happen season in and out with Wenger in charge?

Yeah but the signs are good this time...

coming back in games is one thing but leading from the front and staying there is what makes a champion. its a completely different thing to fight back yourself rather instead of stopping others from fighting back. when you have something to chase you have an immediate target to aim for, when you lead from the front you have to fight the urge to keep looking over your shoulder and worrying too much.

And they will be next time as well.

We should go for the record and have 3 false dawns next season

Can we have a breaking dawn as well? Get into some twilight shit!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

There were a few years there where we were better and more successful. Early noughties.
The rest of the time in the PL era though, yeah.

(I presume we're only talking about the PL era, they weren't even in the top division in the 70s for a while!)

Yeah i was talking about the PL era. The way i see it the mancs will win the league this season even with a less vintage sqaud like theirs. It shows that they know how to win which is vital we don't.

You would have thought after the CL final defeat last season the mancs would have tried to assemble a sqaud not only to win the league but win the CL as well, they never and paid the price.

Some will say the mancs will win the league because city bottled it others will say its an achivement because how hard the league has got.

But that experince Fergie has is vital and has helped them again. If AW was less stubbon an learned from fergie he'd be better off for it.
