I was going to post this into the injuries thread but........
We are no longer part of the European Elite. Right now on paper, Roma has a better team then us. Things just arent looking good for the Arsenal and now its no surprise Henry wants to jump ship before it sinks. I condemed him at first but I can see how he feels especially with Vieira's success at Juve.
But dont sweat it, these things happen. What goes up must come down. Just look at Tottemham, they were once relavant but things just started to go downhill.
And please dont give me any BS about all our problems going away once the new stadium is finished. Stadium or not we arent linked with anyone special. It will most likely be another dissapointing transfer window in January and again next summer.
Honetly, Im not even that pissed about how the season is going. It was enevitable that Chelsea would eventually use their financial power to become unstoppable. But the thing that really annoyed me is that we got rid of both Vieira and Edu and didnt replace them with anyone.
I knew something like this was going to happen, and im surprised Wenger didnt think ahead. Sometimes it feels like Wenger doesent want to win anything this season. Its like he gave up before the season started. To the press he doing more bitching about Chelsea's spending then talking about how we are suppposed to be successful. However, I still have a lot of respect for wenger, a revolutionary manager. And I have to give him credit for trying to get Baptista and I honestly dont think we ever had a shot at landing Robinho.
Damn Im pissed about other stuff too. :mad:
Thoughts.... and give your random thoughs on the season. Try to update this thread regulary.
Who says we aren't among Europe's elite? Looked at the Champion's league tables lately? Looked at all the trophies we've won in the last 5 years? Looked at some of the players on our team? Looked at the coaching staff? Thought about the state of the art ground we're about to move into? Thought about the young, phenomenal talent coming into the side? Must we start whining when things don't go perfectly at the beginning of a season? Just what is it you want or expect? By the way - we didn't "get rid" of Edu - he wanted to leave.
