    I've certainly lost interest over the past 5-6 years.

    I never go anymore and generally only have a passing interest in the game unless it's Chelsea or Spurs. Perhaps we're just getting old, BWB? Outwardly supporting a football club really is a young man's game, I think.

    Unless you're some sort of anti-social deviant, of course.

    Money has ruined things, hasn't it.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    People forget each season is different because one tends to blend into another. Last season was not about finishing 4th. by Xmas everyone outside Leicester thought the title was between us and Spurs.

    Other way round, isn't it? Leicester City looked more likely champions than we did precisely because of our past few seasons; they were on a solid run, albeit for *them*, of course, whereas we were still .. well.. The Arsenal.

    Practically no-one believed Leicester could win it until February or March.

    I thought you did, at least? Surely the assumption was that at least one of the favourites would get their act together in time. Similarly, no-one will believe in us again until we do actually win it, despite the fact that at various points, we look as though we might.

    I merely asked the question at what point did we have to take them seriously. I didn't really believe they would win it then.

    I attended a game quite recently, I think. Bayern away it was. 2013.

    Nice couple of days; chilly, but... the Schweinshaxe!
