What tonight and the last month really told us…

[Guv]

Is that unless changes are made in the summer, you can forget all about a big four. It’s a big three now, and we will find ourselves in a battle to hold off the likes of Villa, Man City and dare I say it the Spuds who will I’m sure invest heavily in the summer on the basis that 4th is very much up for grabs. Unless that is Wenger, or someone at the club makes him see sense, and invests in a squad that is painfully short on the quality required to realistically challenge for a trophy. Quite how we made it to a semi final of the Champions League is beyond me and probably tells you more about the lack of genuine quality in Europe (United and Barca aside) at the moment.

For sure we have some quality, (Arshavin will be a major player next season) but nowhere near as much as Wenger appears to believe, and for all the rubbish he will spout about the players will have more experience etc, he needs to be told – is enough enough of this flawed policy.

If it continues (and I don’t expect much happening in the summer) then pre-season will continue to be dominated with high profile departures, as we have become accustomed to over the last four years.

And as for his comments today re achievement making it to semi-finals of CL / FA cup, does anyone really care- no one ever remembers losing finalists, so why is making semi-finals an achievement?

The fact is in the last month: Chelsea outmuscled us (as usual) and we have been played off the park by United twice and Liverpool (Arshavin’s brilliance really papered over massive cracks) – is that really acceptable? These are the real benchmark and its no co-incidence that not a single victory has been achieved or deserved.

Runs to semi- finals are no achievement and the unbeaten run whilst worthy of mention when you look at sides who actually took points off us (Sunderland, West Ham, Fulham ) it puts it more in perspective.


I suppose its going over the same old ground, surely enough is enough – all we can dare to ask is for us to be competitive at the top of the Premiership – in all honesty we are a million miles from that right now, as the last month has well and truly proved…

It told me Wenger has lost the plot.

It told me I was right to think we will never win another trophy under Wenger.

Is it really that fucking difficult.

and do't go giving me the "It's not about tonight" shite either. The thread title clearly says it is.
