Last 10 years of arsenal

[Sir C]

'might even get second' , wow great achievement (!) and no we wont, we have won 5 out of the last 15 games since jan

You don't think coming second in the league is a great achievement? You're satisfied only with absolute success?

I take it you're a multi-millionaire business tycoon then?

[o2be a gooner]

no, but Arsenal charging the highest ticket prices in the world, the owner taking money out of the club whilst not really investing, lying to fans constantly how 'we will compete now', poor results/same old same old (actually you could argue we are getting further away from the top) - and one second place finish in 10 years if it happens (which is probalby wont) - isnt good enough

You'd have an interesting argument there if it wasn't all *******s.

Except that for equivalent seats, and taking into account the number of games we get on our ST, our prices are roughly that same as Spurs and Chelsea - in other words the going rate for the Capital.

I agree with you about having a decent striker though. We'd have won the league easily with Harry Kane up front imo, and while such quality is hard to come by, it suggests to me that this team of Wenger's isn't quite a bad all round as it sometimes seems. Erzl has created about 157 chances this season. Better finishing and we wouldn't be worried about defensive errors or midfield stagnation.

I *am* a multi-millionaire business tycoon actually. Yes, and judging further by the cost of my daughters' telephone bills, I also own my own oilfield and run a vertically integrated narcotics and weapons smuggling operation on the side

Ever since he CL final, it has been strange, weve done pretty much nothing, groundhog day every season, same promises and false hope, when will it end, next season liverpool, spurs, united, city, chelsea will be better, only going to get harder.

wenger has lost his edge, he isnt competitive, he doesnt seem bothered about losing, makes excuses , makes it sound fine 'we are not fighting relegation' , this goes down to the players. surely the elite players- ozil, sanchez will eventually want out.


Does wenger/the board change and actually invest the money in top players?
if not we will likely finish 6th next season

giroud needs to **** off asap btw, fed up of that 'face' when he ****s up the chances

Which striker would you sign to replace Giroud? I presume you would need to check the most important weapon in the striker's armoury, the face?

What sort of face do you find acceptable?

I'm fascinated by how the game has changed. The modern football fan is really getting to the heart of the matter.

If I may interject - Are you not a strong advocate of players with kind faces? I believe that you said that you could not support The Arsenal if Zlatan signed, because he does not have a kind face?

I have never said any such thing. I certainly favour a player with a kind face; I have never, ever suggested that such kindness or the lack of it affects footballing ability.

Anyway, he's not talking about kindness of visage, is he?

[The Jorge]

I didnt have you down as a Visage man, C.

Sure, he can do it in division one but can the boy Strange get us 20 goals a season in the top flight?
