either not selling, or buying, meant borrowing more money

I agreed with board's believe that generating further debt wasn't a good idea
I now think we're at a different stage in the cycle
and that some short-term debt is justifiable in order to maximise returns on the new sponsorship deals

we NEED CL football for the next two years
winning any trophy gives us a little boost in terms of negotiating strength
Not exactly a "small detail" is it?

and saying i'd be happy to come 2nd for the next 20 years is ambitious?

I think it's small details that have stopped us winning trophies in the famous 7 years

You think that's unreasonable behaviour? :shock: :?

I'd say, to most people, that's completely normal. Nobody likes being lied to, but that doesn't mean telling the truth is going to placate people if what you tell them goes against their beliefs.

So its a "small detail" to sell your best players and not replace them with better (and this is just one of the reasons we havent won anything) that my fwiend is not a small detail

Whatever, that discussion isn't going anywhere
(for those that disagree I find it amazing there's not even interest in Wenger making that same accusation. Even if it's just a thing to beat him up with)

We lost cup finals late on small details.

Sorry, mate - but that is just silly.

We didn't win the PL in 08 because Arsene failed to strengthen sufficiently to cope with injuries and late season player fatigue/loss of form. There was no conspiracy to stop us. We stopped ourselves. :(

as I said, not going anywhere (and as I said amazed by the lack of curiosity about Wengers statement that year)

it was small details saw us lose the cup finals

Does the opponents scoring slightly more goals than us in key games count as small details?

I do remember Wenger talking about 'dark forces' once when we didnt win the league but I think that was back in 2003.
