    Which is why I laugh in the face of my girlfriend when she tells me I can't multi-task.

    Right. The top four was meant to be a base camp from which we would mount an assault on the title. Sadly, inevitably, talk of financial issues has overshadowed all that, even though it was never just about the money; there was also the development of our young players, the improvement of the squad as a whole and all the invaluable experience we'd gain of regularly winning the Top Four cup and so on.

    Actually, even ill-advised, genius ideas like refusing to join Manchester United and Chelsea in spending our Summers globetrotting for cash seem an awfully long time ago now, don't they

    I wish Arsene would just tell us what he is planning to do. Then we can either focus on getting behind him and his re-build of the squard or look forward to times of change.

    Maybe it's because the board are having doubts, who knows.

    The important thing is the team responded very well to the setbacks we've suffered lately. And the supporters at the ground too actually. If we were sitting pretty in the top four right now, things would be getting ugly, imo. Or more ugly.

    No, our expectations are to have a manager as reliably good as Mourinho, Klopp or Guardiola.

    Oh.

    Soft bigotry, wasn't it? Darkies and all that? POTUS41?

    That's certainly the earliest use of the term, but tyranny is also used and works better in this context.

    Oh.
    Yeah, since we last won anything decent, there's about a dozen titles and a few European Cups in that little lot

    "cruel and oppressive government or rule."

    Seems a little extreme.
