All this talk about Arsenal standing still this season and we already have 71 points which equals last season's total with two games still to play despite a couple of horrendous runs.
Hi Arsene
This satisfactory soundbite with us "having similar points to last year, so it aint so bad" is indicative of our different angles. Ralph is clearly happy to drift each year, giving the team a nod and a smile because we got roughly the same again.
Most others however, want more, that is the issue.
We don't have new management finding their feet, lack of funds, new ground etc. That is all done dusted, put to bed. We should be surging while all the rest are adjusting yet we are flapping around just trying to keep afloat against barely a ripple of tide. The real net result, is the that big boys are getting better, and we aren't, hence they are more clinical v the smaller teams, hence why we are dropping back with the same points.
Even his voice grates whenever I hear his latest stupid comment on TV or radio, as I cringe at what he will say next(AW, not Ralph....)
