    That is some seriously top class lunacy/drunkenness right there.
    The word you are missing there is 'like', WES. It is a simile. It means that there are shared characteristics, not that it is the same thing. A goal to aim at as a sports club that has great rewards attached. Anyway, didn't Pep recently say something about top four being like a trophy? What does he know about success?

    Yes, he also said that this season would've got him the sack at either of his previous clubs. But what do they know about trophies. Proper ones, I mean.

    Of course it's better for us to win matches and finish as high as we can but the word "trophy" was a poor choice. In our game, as even M has just pointed out, nothing is like a trophy.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

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

    Quite right. Amazing how much grief a chap can get from other Arsenal supporters for saying such a thing.

    The power of Wenger, I suppose.
