Dear "realists"

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

the squad could maybe stretch to win one trophy,but the sooner we have one to aim for the better,or we will see exhaustion and a collapse similar to 07/08

It's not gonna take a 'few million' to do that :roll:
You're going to need a lot more than say 5 million to have a great squad capable of challenging for the title. look at chelsea and how much theyve spent, would you call that a 'few million'?

At the end of the day this squad was made on a real budget with the exception of 15m? for arshavin and i think 10m on vermalen, so thats about 25m on just two players. If you want a world class squad with world class players in all positions then its not going to cost a few million, its going to cost a lot more than that.

We're all Arsenal fans at the end of the day. Brothers & Sisters you could say.

oh great an "i told you so" merchant who fails to realise that realists and rosetinters are just two sides of one coin.
i know it was light hearted but save it until the season is over

what a thread :roll:

do some people think that we cheer when arsenal concede or lose a game just to prove a point :?

of course we fucking dont, we cheer as loud as anyone and i will gladly admit to been wrong about almunia,diaby,song,walcott.eduardo etc if this team can do us all proud and win a trophy.

The point the original poster is missing is the realists are saying Wenger buying a keeper and a striker will greatly improve our title hopes.

We went down this road in 07/08 when we were 6 pts clear.And we finished 3rd.

Yours sincerely, rosetinter.

Oh Dear ! Trophies are generally handed out in May. We are still in January !! :roll:

I do hope the players are more grounded than this. And in case you've forgotten 2008 was just like this, only we actually had a 5 point lead. I'm sure you remember what happened come the end !?

66-1

Post by SammyDroppedHisShorts »

Looked at the betting last night and saw 1-0 Arsenal was bull, 2-0 not worth sniffing at, even 5-0 was 20-1...but 4-2 i liked, 66-1

stuck £20 onit....love Ladbrokes today.... :lol:

Some fella though nailed Cahill first goalscorer and 4-2 at a whopping 800-1 ...puts my winnings into perspective..he stuck £5 on it i hear....

being a realist sometimes pays off....in a rosey sort of way
