    Once you bring resources into the argument you have to face the question of whether we are making the best of ours, regardless of whether that challenges the financially doped or historically bigger. Its tough to argue that we are.
    How can you say spurs are successfully challenging the hegemony? If they are, then so are we!

    Yes. That's not actually a dynasty, M. A dynasty is a line of hereditary rulers. And sadly Wenger is essentially a jaffa.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Well, largely by challenging for the title in the last two years and finishing above all of those clubs bar Chelsea last season. You may not consider that challenging the hegemony but I would happily take it as a wooden spoon.

    Ah, we're here again with the semantics of the word 'challenge', aren't we?

    No, quite close in fact. Just the two league titles and the Champions League that we have been nowhere ****ing near winning for ten years.

    A line of trophies is dynastic, in a sense. Everyone always told us that domestic cups would be building blocks for greater things. (though I always maintained this was *******s, as has been proved)

    But we finished above them two years ago and you've previously said we've not challenged the hegemony in a decade

    Still with the intemperate language.

    What pleasure does it give you to say these things, my son?
