Watching the game today I realised that we are just stalled. Teams had us sussed out years ago and we're still playing that game - arrogance, and we don't want to change.
You've heard it. We're saying we want to develop youth, we don't want to spend, we don't want to take risks, we respect caution, we think this is the way, we think this is the future, we think everybody else is wrong, we're fiscally oriented but not sports oriented. It's basically a big headed idiots game.
A whole transfer window highlights where we are. We spent all of it, chasing after a player at the end of his game soon, who hasn't proved himself on a major stage and this was supposed to deal with our major growing problem.
No other players bought, no caution, no risky or even clever buys to fill in when we're doing bad. Just somebody to bring on to defend leads or something.
Anything?
The age of investing in defence in now. If you look at teams, they've all got players with good strong defensive investment or defensive players, world beaters while we're chasing after a middle of the road attacking player and desperate to get him?
I can't see Villa giving up that 4th place without a fight and this isn't no rubbish team. I for one would be very surprised if a team of their calibre drops a 5 point lead. Have you seen their remaining games? They've played most of the big tough games and they've invested well and have a good quality squad.
We're doing the opposite. I seriously think we should be really wondering what we want because all we're doing as a club is making money and making no real effort to do well. Even all the clubs below us are making an effort but we're kind of happy with where we are. I've never known Arsenal to be like this Business where we haven't really got much to look forward and we stumble so easily and are caught unawares so easily.
It's nice to see we're coping ok without Fabregas though but if anything we're doing very little to cope in these times of falling short in terms of our ability.
