Take consolation from the fact that in our WORST season for 16 years we are still a mere four points behind the scum down the road, who are enjoying their BEST season in 16 years – a period during which they have had 13 managers and 13 false dawns.

Whether by personal choice, an accident of birth or divine providence (the grace of Bergkamp) be grateful that you are a fan of The Arsenal.

That is all.
