Of course it would be silly to suggest that winning any game, cup or otherwise, isn't good
for the club, but let's remember just how problematic FA Cup success has been
for this club... I'm certainly not going to suggest I didn't enjoy seeing Arsenal win, I'm a fan of this club first and foremost, but how bad are things when you find yourself secretly wishing that your own team lost so that just maybe real change would finally
come... I resent this team
for even making me feel such thoughts and it's going to take a lot of effort on their part to earn my trust again... this club has treated the fans so poorly that it has created an incredibly fragile and toxic environment, so much so that a «what have you done
for me lately» mentality has emerged... fans rise and fall depending on the results of each game because we don't have faith in those in charge to make the necessary changes to personnel and tactics... each time we win many fans attack any dissenting voices and make unrealistic claims about the players, the manager and the potential
for unprecedented success... every time we lose the boo - birds run rampant, calling
for heads to roll and
predicting the worst... regardless of what side you fall on, it's not your fault, both sides are simply overcompensating
for the horrible state of affairs that have been percolating
for several
years... it's hard to take the long view when those in charge have lied incessantly and refuse to take any responsibilities
for their own actions... in the end, we are trapped by the same catch - 22 that ManU faced upon Fergie's exit... less fearful of maintaining the status quo than facing the unknown, which was validated, wrongly or rightly, by witnessing the difficulties they have faced during this transitory period... to be honest, the thing that scares me most is that this team has never prepared whatsoever
for this eventuality, which considering our frugal nature and the way we have shunned many of our most revered former players is more than a little disconcerting
Whether he stays or goes I just hope Arsene Wenger doesn't make the mistake in allowing him leave
for free.If he won't sign despite all attempts then he should be sold quickly before clubs lose their interest.We have to demand a hefty fee which I'm sure top clubs wouldl be willing to pay because they'll look at what he did last season.The funny thing is that no player who leaves Arsenal looks irreplaceable in another team.A club which is really ambitious won't
predict doom
for themselves when a top player leaves but rather they go out there and do the best they can to replace the player.Unfortunately Arsenal has failed when it
comes to that.I urge everyone to fear not because we will survive without Sanchez.We should have hope because these two
years of Wenger are crucial than ever.
