I was content over the last years with the 4th
place trophy thing because I knew each week I still could watch some great Arsenal football, win or lose.
Not exact matches
If we continue getting the favourable draws we could just reach the final.Once there anything is possible in a one - off game.I doubt our Manager has the tactical nous to get us past Atletico Madrid despite us having the players.The annoying
thing is we are not considered as serious contenders because of our form and results.We SHOULD have been looking to win this
trophy AND improve on last seasons pathetic 5th
place finish.To not win the EL and finish outside the Top 4 will surely be the end for this Manager.Surely even he will know that his time is JP and he either walks or is sacked
But once the semifinal is over the only
thing Wenger can concentrate on is trying to claw his way back into the «Wenger
Trophy» positions where we currently lie 4 points behind our biggest rival for 4th
place, Liverpool, and one point below Tottenham.
We could have stopped this 2 seasons ago, now we must pay consequence, we want team that can win big
things, we already have it, we just need someone who will lead them to that goal, you cant win
trophys when your manager go in public and says our opponents are just too good, its not that chelsea is unbeateble, our manager has no desire anymore, and i do nt blame him for that, he is just doing his job, we fans are final judge, if you are ok with 4
place, than enjoy this mediocre simple!!!
So assuming
things go to form, Arsenal will not have won the title but should have improved on last season's fourth
place and on May 30th will run out to face a Liverpool side desperate for a
trophy to rescue a disappointing campaign.
That is a
thing that wenger lost 10 years ago, and now he believes that the money is a
trophy like the fourth
place.....
Let Wenger win 4th
place trophy this year and then finding a new manager will be the right
thing to do.
One of the reasons the Stanley Cup is the greatest
trophy in all of sports is the crazy
places people take it and the weird
things that people do with it.
A few days ago I posted a comment on here and noted how AFC always seem to lose ground and our way once the heat is on... how we lack the mental strength and character to deal with pressure of maintaining a lead once we are top of the table and how we ALWAYS crumble when it matter most... i also noted how we ALWAYS seem to regain our mojo soon as we are out of contention for every important competition, when we go on some amazing winning streak, just in time to snatch the 4th
place trophy... as is the norm on here and many other AFC fans forum i got member jumped down my throat, talking about negative fans, talking about new players we have and how that problem was a
thing of the past....
I agree with Wenger on one
thing, a top 4
place is a better
trophy than the FA Cup and no top 4.
I have suggested before that it was the right
thing to do if our season went South regarding the Champions League qualification so I can't say I'm totally surprised even if we are still only three good results away from CL
place AND a European
trophy next season.
I feel young, I feel hungry for success to keep fighting for my
place, to make
things difficult for the manager and of course to win
trophies, which is of course what it is about for a club like Chelsea.»
