http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...Arsenal-can-hope-for-is-6th-or-7th-place.html Im sorry to say all these former leg ends are starting to get on my nerves. if we win 5 games in a row we'll be up in the top 8. if we win 20-25 games (ok i beleive we can) then that should have us at 4th/5th (depending on of course the current top 6 loosing points as im sure they will)
Yes call it being very optomistic but im a gunners fan. i love my club and have faith in them. Pitty some of the actual fans dont. Shame on you.
And if we don't? We would all love those 20-25 points over the next 9 games but in the past 5 years, we have only managed that once. It was last season and we netted 21 points. I think you may have seen my response to your previous thread. Considering our form and plight, remember that we now also have Sagna out, we need to be realistic. Plan for the worse ( not that we can do much anyway ) and hope for the best which we obviously can and will Regards
Obviously you would rather stick your head in the sand - just like Arsene From the manner of your posts you sound like a child. Probably not worth our engaging in discussions if you are intent on taking that sort of line so I think it's best if I place you on ignore.
No im 26 and sick of people putting the club down. stats mean bugger all to me. if the team gel right and we get some key injured players back would you still write us off top 6? Cuz i wouldn't im stil hopefull of top four. I mean come on its only 7games. yeah we've had our worst start to a PL season but the run of games we have coming up (apart from chelsea) i see up taking points and with that we will be up there. I think tottenham,newcastle,liverpool and chelsea will loose points. Man city will draw a game or two and well i see united being dominating this season like the invincibles.
5 games in a row? You got Chelsea at Stamford Bridge coming up, and on your current form (And theirs), plus your recent record, I'd be worried to get out of that game losing 2-0 (Watch this comment come back to haunt me), nevermind Stoke at Emerates which could be a difficult game as Stoke play a very aggressive, physical game that might expose your team's backups (Lets be honest, your defence is kind of patched together at the moment due to injuries.) You started badly, it's continued and now until you start putting together multiple good results, it's difficult to see you definately picking up 3 points anywhere. I'm not just saying this to annoy. When Liverpool were losing to Blackpool and such last year, I thought the same thing. It turned out that even winning, and performing well, against Chelsea wasn't enough to boost them from awfulness last year, so eh, maybe a new manager might be the way forward. Either way, you are way too optimistic if you think you are going to win the next 5.
I just read that Ian Wright article, and I can't see what the OP's problem is! Would you prefer Wrighty to talk like some delusional Scouser (from last season) and pretend that your current problems are nothing more than a temporary blip, and that soon you are going to turn it all around and become a different team? Get a grip, son!
Hard to disagree with anything Wrighty has said there in all fairness, He's gone over the top on other writeups but this is pretty much bang on for me.
He isn't against you, he is just being realistic. Trust me as someone that has met him in person, he is a Gooner through and through.
The OP is a clown. Need I say more. You keep wearing your Arsenal coloured glasses ... see if the y help us get out of the mire .. or will it be an admission that we are crap and actually trying to do something about it. As Robin Van Bergkamp says, you can stick your head in the sand if you want, just like Arsene .. that doesn't make you more of a fan, it makes you an eejut ! Any so-called fan who tries to be all high and mighty with other fans because they are being realistic deserves whatever flack they get. You don't represent a single Arsenal fan that I know. It is due to Wenger's mis-management over the past years that we are where we are now, fighting relegation after 7 games .. roughly 1 fifth of the season.
What's evident to me (and as a Spurs fan, it's going to be more evident to me than any other fan, even your own), is that Wright is hurt, and that he's speaking from his heart. If there is anything OTT in that article (and, I confess, I can't see it), then it's only because he loves AFC so much that he can't take any more. If anyone doubts Wright's love for AFC then they have confirmed themselves as an absolute idiot.
He is pretty much spot on. The best we can hope for is the top 6 and that is based on the fact that TV will be back and steady the defence to some decent level.
