    Feels exactly the same as it did when we went on our good run in 07/08, 08/09, 09/10 and 10/11. It might be said that the run in those seasons felt better cos we did them in a time of the season where it mattered although we fucked up as usual towards the end.

    This season however, we car crashed at the start of the season, had False Dawn Part 1 in October where people on here were getting all excited as they are now how the team has changed and so on, fell apart again which ended our CL and FA cup hopes and hit False Dawn Part 2 which unlike the other seasons has come at the end of the season which is too little too late. The pressure is off in terms of winning trophies and whilst some might say theres pressure going for top 4, its not that much tbh. Yes if given the choice id rather finish top 4 than not but that has little to do with CL and more to do with me wanting Arsenal to finish as high as possible. If we didnt finish top 4, would it really bother many people bar the money men which includes Wenger?

    Summer of 2010 and 2011 were massive summers after the diabolical ends to both seasons. Wenger failed to do his job during those summers and i with many others have lost all hope in him doing likewise this summer.

    Oh we'll buy players for sure but they'll be of insufficient quality needed for us to hit that next level. If Podolski comes true and if we keep RVP then its a start but we need a lot more. We've seen players brought early before and the nothing during the summer only for us to then buy in August after the season has started but by then its too late.

    With the removal of the spaz factor and a couple of signings early doors we will be close to the title next year IMO. With a full pre-season under our belts and injuries permitting the consistency will come and simply removing that Joey Deacon bunch from training alone will improve us no-end.

    I wonder who will be AW's number two, as well. Pat Rice is hanging up his sunglasses, and collecting the cones for the last time this season.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Steve Bould, I'd imagine.

    I mean, sure, he's got no hair, but at the end of the day, we don't care.

    Apparently he doesn't want it, or so I read

    Think it was a piece by a former player or something....forget who now, but it seemed pretty legit.

    It should depend on how long Arsene plans to stick around. If it's only a year or two, get someone of decent pedigree to come here and sit round for a year learning the tricks and providing a new perspective on tactics. There would be a many good managers who would want the Arsenal job, believe it or not. Sitting around for a season with a pretty much guaranteed view to step up to the main job would be worth it for them.

    Bergkamp at a guess

    And, no.

    Can't remember....but it was said that Bouldy wanted to continue with the youth squad

    He would be my pick. Him or Bergkamp.

    Btw, when does the club's Emirates sponsor deal run out? How does it work - shirts get changed, what about the stadium name...probably not?
