I'd say so. Especially given the dire alternatives.

So glad we replaced Routledge with Obertan.

tbf we had spent money elsewhere on the team. had we to compete with those types of club then i doubt we'd have achieved what we did. (is this a deja vu moment as i'm sure i've posted very similar before ?) The point is, 71 points is not an insurmountable tally. Arsenal can't blame huge investment for their failure to compete.

City and Chelsea finished on 71 points last season. We managed the same figure with Dabizas and O'Brien in the centre of defence. The 'oil money' shouldn't have hurt Arsenal as much as it has.

They've been undermined too easily, though. Last season they finished 12 points off Man Utd.

Basically. Such a tool.

As much as that criticism is ridiculously harsh, I can understand their anger and frustration. 7 years since they won a trophy and 8 years since they were genuine title contenders.

What is it with him and picking fights with incredibly bad and/or overrated midfielders?

Sammy Ameobi.

Vuckic is a young kid, it would be suicide to put him at RW at this level.

Just what I'm getting from Facebook. One fella seems pretty certain it's to do with a WB thread, like.

Something to do with a racist comment in a Wootton Bassett thread according to a member. Althought there's a somewhat conflicting account about a Ken Bates thread in which plans were being made to physically attack him tomorrow.

Not sure where to put this but Waccoe (Leeds United forum) has gone offline because of some racist comments made earlier tonight. Serious food for thought for anyone considering making a racist comment on here.

Well said.

Or because he rings up a girl he fancies and has to make some an excuse about he lost his wallet. Sunglasses. And the Don's wife is no girl. And it was true love.

You dare to call him a pussy just because he developed sensitivity and started making his own wine?

Sounds like a big improvement to me.

Goalkeeper! Eh?

the second season we were runners up i wouldn't have called us a top side. Good point, Robbie Elliott's brilliance notwithstanding.

Damn right. Enough of the stupid negativity.

Don't think anyone would have a made a case for us being a top side in 04-05, or the season before that.

Ironic as ever. Taking the crap into the new year, I see So you actually think there's pertinence in unfavourably comparing our manager (who has us 7th) with Steve fucking Bruce? You're a waste of bandwidth.

Did you actually watch the game? They had one of the worst midfield combinations that Liverpool have put out in years and we didn't try and press them, harry them, try and actually pass the ball between them, we just let them have the ball and do what the hell they wanted with it and every time we got it, we panicked and kicked it long straight back to them. Against the top teams that is the game that bucks the trend though, we've played well against Man Utd, City and Chelsea and did pressure them. If we'd played like we did at Old Trafford at Anfield we'd have beaten them. How long is this nonsense about Chelsea still being a top team going to be peddled?
