    This club is a soulless pit now thanks to those who run it.

    To think, be careful what you wish for was the common retort amongst the apologists.
    Cunts.

    Wenger out!

    And yet you thoroughly enjoyed the 92/93 season because of a few good wins in big games in an otherwise awful season?
    And you'd have been disappointed by The Invincibles on the first count, the occasional thumping but mostly fairly narrow wins if you look back.
    The difference is we looked convincing though and it was good to watch. I don't really enjoy watching us most of the time these days and that's the bigger problem than the results which are mostly good.
    And we used to go into big games thinking we could get a result, right now I'm planning on hiding under my bed on Sunday.

    It’s the performances rather than the results that are the problem

    We won 15 times at home in the league in the unbeaten system - seven times by a score line of 2-1, nine times overall with a one goal margin of victory. But few of them were games where we huffed and puffed for ages and failed to keep possession. We dominated the games

    In terms of score line Letters is right, by and large there aren’t large sustained periods of three-four goal bummings. But Zim is right in that during winning runs the wins were convincing and we looked like we could beat anyone as opposed to looking like we could fall apart at any time.

    In 01/02 (my personal favourite of our title wins under Wenger) we won 13 games in a row in the league scoring 29 goals and conceding 6 (with three of those coming against Everton in the final game after we’d already won the title which made that win as much about solid defending)

    How many times must I go through the same explanation!!!

    92/93 was a cup year, we sacrificed the league (hence the attendances), we played weakened teams in the league, the final position wasn't representaive of how good we were.

    The cup games I did enjoy however, full of drama, desire, last minute goals, so yes I did enjoy the two cup runs and winning both trophies, the FA Cup in a dramatic way against perhaps a better side.

    The invincibles played much much better football, yes we had narrow wins but we also had big wins, I can remember when we won the first title though going to Blackburn and winning 4-1 having scored 3 in 20 minutes, we did have some good runs of form where we looked the real deal, not all season perhaps but some of it. In addition the narrow wins we never that close because we usually played teams off the park but their missed a lot or their keeper made a lot of great saves.

    Wenger apologists aren't the sharpest tool in the box are they

    Spot on, our results now are hard work to say the least, yes we do win but not often are they convincing wins where we looked comfortable.

    He's obsessed with 92/93, yes we didn't play amazing football, but one thing we had in abundance was a real desire, in the cup matches there was real tension and the way we won was dramatic, didn't we also come back against Leeds from 2-0 down at Elland road to win. It's not always big wins that make good matches, it's desire, excitement, tension.

    The league was a washout as we basically realised we wre progressing in the cups and saved ourselves for that.

    Seriously though. Have you seen the "Educating..." series. I wouldn't have talked to my teachers like that
    Kids

    No because I don’t like kids, I prefer them to be neither seen or heard
