And therefore, the tenth anniversary of the 5-1 at Shite Hart Lane:
That header by Dzeko for the second is an absolute peach.

Arsenal need to get real. They keep talking like they’re a top club. Manager saying they need to look in the mirror, fans forever moaning with over the top vitriol and poison.
Newcastle get stick for their fans always saying they unrealistically demand success, but whenever you actually talk to Newcastle fans they aren’t like that.
But Arsenal are!
They talk like, just because they have had great teams in the past and a big stadium, they should be doing this and that. Nothing is ever good enough.
But in reality, it’s a long time since the late 90s and early 00s when they were a top club. There are better run clubs now, clubs with better scouting, clubs who can attract better managers and better players, clubs with more ambition than Arsenal had in the late 00s and 10s (where their only ambition was to coast along as long as they got into the Top4 and got into the Ro16 of the CL to tick some money over every year - which is when they stopped being a top club).
Arsenal are no longer a top club. They’ll always be a big club with a huge support, but they are no longer a top club, and everyone there needs to reset their expectations.

Why would loving yourself make you want to watch AFTV?As much as I enjoy watching AFTV out of being a narcissist, they really are lacking that leader. They don't have anyone. To be honest, I do not remember the last leader they had.

That’s a very damning statistic.I think the most telling stat that I heard from yesterday was that even though we had 81% possession, we still made more tackles than Arsenal

One of my favourite City goals.That header by Dzeko for the second is an absolute peach.
Did nothing ???? Compared to this dross now ????? Sorry but once he left it was a dawn of a new era trophies galore challenging for titles and 7 years since he left they are probably in a worse state since the 1980s ......... sadly some mongs on AFTV still blame him for what’s going on nowThey did nothing in the last decade of Wenger. Bought a load of dross. The owners share the blame, but Wengers time was up.
