Saturday reminded me a bit of 1979. A team that had gone years without winning anything.

Recent experience of losing a cup final. Winning 3-2 in dramatic fashion.

Then I remembered Terry Neill after that final. "This is just a start. We're going to push on from here and win more trophies..."

I mean, it will certainly help in terms of the spirit and atmosphere around the club, but the idea that it will propel us to further glories? Hmmmmmmmmmm!

Of course a manager is goign to say that. Managers will use ANYTHING to motivate their players and it would utterly negligent of them to NOT use it as a motivation tool.

But we should probably remember that it *is* essentially horsehit.

but I also think Wenger is entirely right to say it, even if he doesn't really believe it.
