Ah I reckon well be ok, well finish one point above the relegation zone on last day of the season it wont be all bad, we can celebrate survivng.

I reckon Wenger and Gazidis are looking at the balance sheet and thinking it won't be the worst in the world if we miss out on CL football this year as they have the Fabregas and Nasri money to offset the lack of CL revenue. Then they can just bump up ticket prices again and tell us that we were just a little bit short and lacked mental toughness.

It's groundhog day over and over with that lot.

Plus I have training on Thursdays so will be missing our games against the mighty Vorskla Poltava and Sturm Graz.

I never realised we can't discuss matches or transfers in here....

......Johan Djourou is a fierce nice lad isn't he?

**Galvasean** · 16-01-2012, 01:43

Book those tickets!

edit: Perhaps Kanu will be the next arsenal old boy to be brought back?

Just a little aside I've been thinking about over the last few weeks, other than the obvious 4 or 5 outstanding players, how many really great players have been at Arsenal since Wenger came in? He won the league a few times with teams that were admittedly outstanding but how many of the players in those teams actually did anything away from Arsenal?
I'm wondering if (up til a coupla years ago) Wenger's talent was to get a load of players and get a coupla good years out of them and the successful years were when more or less a full team of players hit their prime together for a season.

Why is it madness? A lot of Arsenal fans are now turning on Wenger and it will only get worse.

In Arsene we trust 20 years a gooner this year- this isn't the worst it's been.

We have a legend of a manager and some decent players. We are in the knockout stages of the UCL 5th in the league and not much of a transfer kitty.

Just one thing I noticed we seem to do better in non televised EPL games- or is that just me?
