I'm so torn

[Blakus126]

I want us to win, but it seems we need to have a really terrible season to bring the changes we desperately need.

I'm lucky I guess to grow up with the Arsenal that won the double in 98 as my first full season I remember. My dad often reminds me you don't realise we weren't always good. I think we are back to those days http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/cry.gif

have good players, players who should be comfortablt beating Fulham, Norwich, QPR, Sunderland.

then things should get better when we are on a level playing field. It is then when we will see if Wenger has still got it or not.

It might work if one or two players are carried by a team of world class players, but half the team is being carried, and we don't really have single world class player to do the carrying.

Like he dropped Santos today, but it took 3 poor performances before he did. Ramsey is undroppable it seems...

they are just working harder and to a plan. We are winging it. The problems are all about what we are or are not doing in training and on the pitch.

It looks like he's the guardian until that point to me.

teams we're regularly dropping points to.

[andy smith]

Henry was **** to begin with, Pires was average etc.

And tbf he does see them every day in training.

[Blakus126]

And can see they aren't good enough. I like his faith in players to an extent but I think it's apparent when faith is misplaced. And some players have clearly had their chance.

for our own failings. In reality, we have a huge wage bill and a very talented group of players. We're just not getting anything like the best out of what we have. The manager isn't organising his team well, and too often the players are simply not performing for him.

[plastic james]

when spending a reasonable enough would have kept us up there....this owner/board is clueless.

as far FFP http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif ......never

And those he really doesn't rate, he stops playing/tries to get rid of (Chamakh, Arshavin, Bendtner etc).

The wage bill is a massive problem and they need to sort it out. Unfortunately, it's going to take years not months.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

with the budget of the top three then going by our budget we should be well clear of the rest, but we aren't.
