    I think this is a little over-dramatic.

    Never had you down as a poof.

    What about the youngsters today. There are kids / nearly teens who have only seen arsenal win a couple of FA cups. They will never have seen those good years.
    I'm referring to the rubbish years, when we dreamed of finishing in the top 4 and winning the odd cup. We were happy with the small successes, like getting into the UEFA cup and enjoying the experience. We didn't demand titles and trophies; we enjoyed what we had.*

    *Except the cab drivers in the East Stand. They moaned like *******s.

    Remember when we used to sometimes qulaify for the UEFA cup? Remember how exciting it was when foreign teams came to Highbury? Remember how amazing it was to see Spartak Moscow play football from another planet as they tore us a new sphincter? Remember being boggle-eyed in amazement that you were actually seeing Roberto Bettega, Marco Tardelli and Dino Zoff? (And Steve Walford)

    You've been spoiled, man.
    That is simply time, progress and the big money machinations of modern day football.

    As for Wenger, the thing is, He certainly hasn't done enough for us (fans, club, board, whomever) to boot, hound or harry Him out. He doesn't deserve that, does He. So the only other thing is for Him to decide Himself when to call it a day.
    And this is why you have people at games with Banners. I don't agree with them but they probably feel the club doesn't give two ****s and it's the only way to show their frustration.

    Don't get me wrong if you bring a anti wenger banner to a game you are clearly a wrongun.

    Wenger should have jacked it in after the 2 fa cup wins imo.

    That doesn't make it right.

    I was trying to be funny. You know, sarcastic, satirical

    Chelsea are going to win the title at a canter with a fairly average team (insofar as title winning teams go) because they're not in Europe. But of course they have an owner who will put money into the team Europe or no Europe.

    It's a badge of honour to always qualify for the CL. Brings money, exposure, fans... but my feeling is that we have often been overstretched by being involved in so many trophies and ended up collapsing in a heap.

    And yes, we can win it. It would require some luck and other teams under-performing but look at that last Liverpool team tha won it.

    We are not a lucky team Mo. We will never win it. We had 2 chances and we ****ed them up.

    Fair enough. About a dozen years in charge of the Arsenal would've been enough, I've always said. Invincibles, Champions League final, new ground; job done, thank you very much and we all wish you well in your future career at Real Madrid or wherever. Return whenever you've time as our honoured guest, to unveil a statue of yourself perhaps.

    We had a pretty unique set of circumstances going on though, so it's understandable He's stuck around, I think.
