Oh dear, as if the drubbing at Old Trafford wasnt bad enough, to go to Blackburn and throw the game away was much worse, at least there was some excuse for the first not for the second. This state of affairs has been coming, it is like rolling a snowball down a hill, at first it is impercetible then it gathers pace and before you know how to do it it is unstoppable, that is what is happening now, this decline has been coming on for five years, not replacing like with like, relying on sub standard replacements and selling what few crown jewels that were left. On the BBC 606 show Darren Fletcher argued that perhaps the club should be honest and say we cant compete with the richer clubs, in which case if that puts alongside Bolton, Everton, Blackburn, Norwich, Swansea then we should be charged seat prices that fit that expectation, but Spurs are not as rich as the Big Three and they have a squad AW would give his right arm for, Liverpool beat us 2-0 at the Emirates, but were caned 4-0 just up the road. The Arsenal are the only club at the top level of English football who have NEVER been out of the top division, until now, the snowballs momentum has to be checked immediately before we lose that proud honour
