In other news, our team seems to be rounding nicely into form, with a productive off - season and several new additions already settling in, there seems to be a renewed sense of confidence in the air... our well - oiled machine has conducted business again early this year, so we can just sit back, kick our feet up and watch all those other suckers scramble to make panic moves in the 11th hour... of course, we need to tie up a few loose ends but our team of savvy negotiators, under the tutelage of our faithful leader, will perform their usual magic with ample time to spare... I have to laugh when I look around the soccer world and see all those teams look upon us with envy and scorn as they struggle to mimic our seemingly infallible business model... thank goodness the powers that be had the foresight and fortitude to resist the temptations of the modern football era... instead of listening to all the experts and simply taking the easy way out by making the necessary improvements on the field and in the front office, we chose the path never traveled... we are truly pioneers in our field... sometimes you just have to have faith in the people that have always conducted themselves in a respectful and honest fashion... most fans aren't so fortunate, they will never know what it's like to follow a team that treats everyone in and around the

we are getting confusing massages from the board, one minute we are a big
club and can
rival any
club in Europe with salaries and
buying, then immediately after Arsen says we don't have the same finances as big
clubs,
Sanogoals should never have even step foot into the
club and lets be honest he's ot the only one who isn't really fit to wear the shirt, Wellshite is a reject as well and it appears that apart from Sanchez the rest of Wengers dealing in the transfer market have been pretty substandard, I think
buying Bony isn't really the point its that our current strike force (which doesn't to my mind include Sanchez) are not even fit to be in our
rivals B teams.
