BBC: Arsenal haven't won a domestic trophy for years

Arsene: Its good you can count. The players here now weren't here 8 years ago.

:o



But you were Arsene....you were.

Did he know what he was saying? He had nearly an hour post match before speaking to the press to figure out what he was going to say. The first sentence is fine but the second one. Hmmm.

Defending his players is commendable but he's left himself open for an almighty press backlash here. Could become unbearable. Maybe he's going to go for broke in the CL but if he was then why sign Monreal who's inelegiable? Maybe he realises its a sinking ship and the best he can do is guide her to the nearest port ie 4th place and hand the vessel over.

A plucky display and the crowd on the teams side is what is needed. What ever the result Wengers time is up. His duty now is to hand over a non broken squad to a new man.

Of cource the reality is that he will sign a new 18m 2 year deal and be here until 2016 at least.

Already the usual bollox about 70m warchests and list of quality players he wants to buy is "leaking" to the press in time for ST renewals. Groundhog contimues.
