Well - I told you so... isn't that strange? Maybe not.

Hmm... we aren't doing as well as we once were?

As I stated a few blogs back, I was thinking that a downfall was probably - just around the corner and now we have it. Now is this a bad thing or was it just, or is it just a part of the process in this thing called Arsenal?

Well... the answer is a yes and a yes - or a no and a no - so it's a bit of everything.

Basically, we're not in a bad state are we. We could get second even after a slump and we could win some other trophy - could we? Hmm... that could be tough then. Not good that one is it.

We are still a great club in the world today - but why do these football clubs look like cans of coke to me? So are we a great club or just some football team with a ton of money... I mean, say your local pub got a billion pounds... wouldn't it just buy some great player, get a stadium built so they don't have to play down the playing fields and then get loads of fans who want to see this glamorous well publicised pub team...

History? History... isn't that just achingly desperate?

We have to win something. Maybe the club doesn't see it as important or significant. Maybe we don't need to win as long as we're making money.

So to end with I'll say... you're running in a marathon and by some coincidence or magic, it's you and some African - now, are you going to say... fine, I've made it this far and I'll come second to a champion or are you going to put together that last bit of strength, that last bit of fight, that last bit of determination to win this and knock the African out to be the winner?

Yeah, I think Arsenal is option one and the clubs around us are option two.
