This year, 6 years after moving in, we sold our only world class player for a pittance to the very club our increased revenue was supposed to allow us to be competitive with and are now competing only with the rest for mid table supremecy.

Can't deny I'm massively upset at the way things are unfolding this season.
Not as staunch a defender of AW as I once was, that's for sure.
