    We hold the record at the moment from '02 if memory serves me correctly. I believe it's 14 wins but can't be arsed to check.

    I just can't get over how much space he is finding in the middle. There have been a couple of games where he has taken a huge number of passes up the middle and been able to turn and run right at the heart of the back-4. Just unbelievable considering how at the start of the season, that middle area always seemed to be crammed with bodies.

    Jayram are you serious? TV and Kos no good together? With a backline of Gibbs--TV--Kos---Sagna we have been much better at the back... I haven't seen any problems with Kos and Verm both at CB.

    Was really concerned about this game as well so a cracking result.

    Even if they do win all 9 which i doubt.

    It won't make any difference, it won't bring any trophies.

    Due to the fiasco at the beginning of the season that is beyond us.

    but due to that fiasco everyone was writing us off that we wouldnt get in the top 4 so even with that mess if we do get 3rd that would shove it down their throats and i will be happy

  12. I'll be happy with 3rd given our first half of the season, but overall it will be a failure. Its difficult to shove failure down people's throats.

    You've been trying to shove failure down people's throats all season <laugh>

    Given the first half of the season, finishing 3rd will be a great result, not a failure.

    I see Nigel Winterburn has been listening to me about believing that we can go unbeaten for the rest of the season <whistle>

  16. No, 3rd and no trophies is failure. End of.

    A good feeling going into next season because of where we came from, but failure over the whole season nonetheless.

    You can only measure the success of the season relative to what's currently achievable.

    Finishing 5th would be a failure. Finishing 3rd would be a success.

    I agree with Piskie, we can only aim for what we can achieve. We don't have the personnel to mount a title challenge, if you'd have told me we'd finish 3rd back in september, i would have laughed and called you a madman. 3rd is the highest this side can achieve, after all the crap we've endured this season, 3rd is a victory to me. Though i still hope Wenger retires at the end of the season, and we get a new manager.
