What happened to the £100 million war chest? If we sell Ox, which looks like we might do, the net outlay in the windown will be about £8 million pounds, and in fact we will probably be in the black as at least one more player will go.
Strange way to start a revolution.
There was never going to be a revolution Maurice, this is Wenger we are talking about after all.Originally Posted by Mo Britain less Europe
The catalyst for change nonsense was PR spin at a difficult time for the club, now forgotten, moved on from. For now.
Some of us will never forget.

Of course. As soon as he signed the new deal we knew we were guaranteed at least two more years of exactly the same.
Personally, I think he was ****ing mad signing up. Given the strength around us in the Premier League, the refusal of his two star players to sign up again and the amount of turnover required in the squad the chances of achieving anything better than a distant 4th in the next two years are pretty slim. The chances of achieving less than that are potentially quite high.
I suppose it suggests he isn’t bothered about his own legacy and there is something admirable about that. Damn silly, all the same.
We will win away at Stoke and Liverpool, thus fostering belief in our title challenge. Wenger will appear on telly and, with a little smug smirk, say something enigmatic like, "Who wants to win the league, will need to finish above Arsenal."
Then we'll see what happens. As usual, we're not far short but we may be short unless we are lucky with injuries and players play as well as they can.
It's all a bit defeatist, just the same though. Manchester City are favourites for the title, so I gather, and they've got John Stones marshalling their defence
"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."
Pep's drug regime will have had a chance to bed in by now, I reckon. They'll all be running 40 miles a game.It's all a bit defeatist, just the same though. Manchester City are favourites for the title, so I gather, and they've got John Stones marshalling their defence
True. They may win the league if they get to play Ipswich Town every week.

Did I mean Ipswich Town, or Brighton & Hove Albion

We went unbeaten for a whole season with Kolo at centre back.
I don't think its defeatist, just an acceptance of the Wenger reality. Arguably more than any other club in history, we know what to expect.
Fair enough, but it is defeatist at least in the sense that it's decidedly not .. whatever the opposite of defeatist is.
We're supposed to be supporters, for heaven's sake!
