People seem to randomly forget about Arsenal's consistent appearance in the competition for about 8 years nowIts not just one or two star signings (Adam and Suarez) or bringing in overrated British talent (Carrol and Downing) that makes you win games. Its about getting down to the job and winning enough and necessary points to proceed. With their 5 new signings as well they have a better chance.
Well it's nice to consistently be in the European Cup, but the fact is we have not won one single little trophy in 6 years - and i'd bet my life that after this season it will become 7 years. We have won 2 out of our last 14 Premiership matches - that's relegation form. What's more, we've just suffered our biggest defeat in over a century. We've replaced Fabregas and Nasri with Arteta and Benayoun... that is not anything other than a decline in quality. We have perhaps 2 players that would find their way into the current Manchester United team (RVP and Wilshere). We are stuck with a board who only care about making money from the club and we are stuck with a manager who is way past is best and way too stubborn to change and adapt to the modern game, but the board will never replace him because he is filling their pockets deeper every year. The club is in an absolute state right now.
