Its been a long 6 years without glory, 6 painful years, thankfully there are other "big" clubs who are more worse off than us in that case, Liverpool have failed to win the title in 21 years, Spurs 50 years, we've been spoilt, we've experienced glorious times and unfortunatly the face of football has now changed.
How do we possibly compete with Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, how do we possibly match there wages, pay the fee's they pay for players, football is in a sad sad state of affairs, us as fans are being forced to pay more and more season upon season, not so long ago £58 at Chelsea would have payed for entry to 4 or 5 matches. We are clearly struggling to compete with the financial power coming from these clubs, to stay as a force in English football i feel we need serious investment.
As most of you know on here i am a fairly positive guy about the Arsenal, and our manager Arsene Wenger, i have taken a fair amount of stick for what some people may say is a blind faith in the way we are run as a club and the way we try to play the beautiful game. I HATE to see the abuse this guy is getting, he really did do so much to make Arsenal challenge on all fronts despite huge investment for at least 3 other clubs elsewhere, personally i believe that if the dosh was available he would be spending it, he built an invincible squad with players HE purchased. I have no qualms with people wanting Wenger out, but the level of abuse this man is recieving is unjust, he's dedicated nearly 20 years of his life to our club, he has bought us huge success, moved the club on to a major european club.
On the pitch nothing seems to be going right at the moment, lady luck, poor defensive errors, missing chances up the other end, there is a real lack of belief, a lack of real leadership, im pretty sure we could sign any center back in the world at the moment and we would still be conceding goals and struggling to win games, things need to change..
My opinion is that Wenger needs to go upstairs, we need a fresh manager, someone who is in the same mould of Wenger, but someone who can rejuvenise this squad, give them the belief, the will to win, the hunger, we also need serious investment and we need it before January so the new manager has cash to spend, we clearly need 2 or 3 world class signings, something needs to change, i am mr positive but i do feel it needs to be Arsene.
Thanks for everything, but please, lets move upstairs, and lets see a younger, ambitious with fresh ideas manager come in and move this club onto the very next level.
As fans we need to get behind our boys, until things change they need our support whilst on the pitch, any demonstrations and things like that need to be carried out away from the pitch, There was an Arsenal before Arsene, but there will be an Arsenal after Arsene and as the quality fans we are we NEED to give our all
Where do we go from here?
Come On You Gunners
