Spoilers Ahoy!!! Football 22 - Jan 2011

How consistent is Wenger? Always out of the group stages of Europe, always a top four finish and more times in latter stages of the FA cup and League cup than anyone else.

I'd still rather we pick up a trophy from time to time. I.e. get right to the finish line in at least one competition.
 
If we fail it will be a complete joke, winning won't mean a whole hell of a lot.

Considering Arsenal used to, and the rest of the top 5 still don't bother with the worthless cup winning it quite literally means best of the rest, personally, considering our squad and where we were not very long ago at all, I think thats a pretty poor statement to be making. Best of the rest, not good enough to win the real cups.

You really need to get over this delusional sense of grandeur just because we did better in the past. You're starting to sound like a piny Liverpool fan ffs.

When Wenger came, for all the right way of doing things and assembling a squad he still was competing against money - aka UTD. Between 1997/1998-2004 we managed roughly half the league titles between us (3/7). Then came Chelsea and all of a sudden it was 2 clubs. We were building a new stadium and clearly couldn't afford anybody but risks with youngsters but still managed an FA Cup, Champ's League and League Cup final.

Then Spurs inevitably found a decent manager to back their spending and while City have become the new Chelsea. So now we're up against 4 clubs that can outspend us who are also vying for the same trophies.

Yes it's a step backward but what can you do apart from moan or donate a handy £100m kitty to the club?
