Thing is most Arsenal fans on here never claim that our squad is perfect or that Wenger is perfect. But it gets a bit tiresome week after week when you're met with a wall of text from a certain someone who usually talks 99% rubbish. He comes out with some agreeable comments, but they're few and far between.
Song is a young footballer who can only improve, he's not the worst player to ever kick a football, he picks up a lot of cards and people need to deal with it. We don't play a system that uses a traditional defensive midfielder so we're never going to spend any money on one.
What annoys me is when a certain someone only criticises the team and is virtually incapable of praise. What's the point of supposedly "supporting" a football team when all you can say is how crap you think the squad are and how crap you think the manager is. I wish he'd just shut his ****ing mouth once in a while or at least say something positive.
What annoys me is that you purposefully ignore all the positive things I say to suit your post, while ignoring the constant drivel of incorrect negative crap you say.
How many players do I say shouldn't be at Arsenal, 5 is it, while the vast majority of Arsenal fans, routinely give Vela, bendtner, half the keepers, Clichy, Arshavin, Eboue, and only more recently Denilson and Diaby constant abuse, but thats ok because if its a opinion held by the majority its not negative is it.
We don't need to spend on a traditional DM, we don't use a traditional DM, what, making excuses for Song's complete lack of ability, happy that we're using the pretty much only promising winger/attacker/messi position type player at the club as a DM to make up for the fact that we don't have a quality DM? Up till he came back from Bolton Wilshire was a winger, flat out, who loved to come inside, shoot, cross, make goals. He's now playing as a DM because Song is SOOO bad.
Never going to have the money to spend on one, more rubbish insane, ridiculous and forgetful excuses, we had THE WORLDS BEST DM at the club who we let go for basically nothing, to let Song take his place, he was still the best DM in the world for another 3 years after he left. Diarra is currently playing a mix between DM and attack at Real Madrid, who spent 20mil on him, we bought him for 2mil, let him go for 5m because at the worst, we were too stupid to play him a little more than sell him. Flamini has since won titles playing a similar role to Song, but he's far better and we let him walk on a free
As for being in the title fight for 90% of the season, we really, really weren't, at all. being in 4 competitions, is something the entire top 6(sometimes 7-8) shares, the ONLY thing that counts is we didn't win a single one of them, the only one we came close to, we lost to a relegated team, who were crap, and we only got to the final because like Arsenal in the past decade, none of the top 5-6 waste their time on it. Why did we lose, a stupid ignorant, incompetant decision like playing a injury risk Cesc in a game we in no way required him to play, right before the final.
Be honest, tell me you think Mourinho, or Fergie, or Ancelloti, or even Redknapp would play Cesc in that game with injury problems against a physical Stoke, right before the most important game in 6 seasons.......... that is as I said, literally an incompetant decision from a manager who no longer has a clue what he's doing.
The graph is also fairly incorrect, I've seen several other ones that put our spending back then at closer to 70mil and 110mil before the start of last season(so add Chamakh, Kos, Squillaci and some new contracts for others to that on top). Does anyone really think we were spending within 2mil of Utd in 2006, bs, and how is being consistantly in the top 4 wage spenders, normally 3rd in the past 6 years, impressive in being in the top 4 in the league? Answer, its not, Spurs getting into the top 4 is a FAR bigger deal on far lower spending, though they had to increase spending pretty large amount, again fairly sure the numbers for Spurs are wrong.
