I'd wait a few days
Let's face it tho.... If what you say is true there is a key diff:
Gooners and top 4 was the acceptance of a decline (despite all the tall of stadium-capped spending, they still managed to accumulate a 200m stash of cash in an era of far less TV money). A symbol of theirv regression of you will.
Whereas Top 4 represents us punching above our financially established weight in the new footy order. A sign of our progression in other words.
Anyway... Like you, i say bring on da REAL glory.
You can't have it both ways though...you can't simultaneously moan about the signings we haven't made along with the signings we have...maybe one of the reasons that we didn't buy just any shit for £30M was because of the shit that we did buy for £30M...
It was the outcome of the window, not the policy.
Theres a huge difference. Then again, you ain't stupid.... You knew that already.
Wasn't me......spent more time on my feet than sitting!
i am just wondering what your expectations were for last night .Do you think there is a team in any league that could drop four 1st team players and play barcelona off the pitch. I thought we were playing well and i was pissed at loris for some mad decisions, i think saying we choose mediocrity is a bit harsh.
Which you and others were fine with
No...we're not fine with it...we just don't beat people over the head with it every chance we get...
I must have misread the numerous posts that re-imagined Pochettino's "we have to be brave" as meaning "we have to be brave by not signing anyone", just to give one example.
Not surprising that everone is seeking to distance themselves from their earlier views mind

...And?
(Deluded peeps such as yourself seem to think infinite squad depth is an available reality.... )
The fact that an already depleted team didnt have option C's on our bench to trouble Messi and co in no way whatsoever vindicates your agenda/narrative.
Aaaaaaanyway...
As per my initial reply, you don't deny you ARE fake news then?
(Avoided bullshitting this time....That's something i spose.
)
Fake news again.
The counter argument was that Poch wasn't demanding or declaring we spend big.
Barca strolled through that last night.
Yes he is now, eventually..I am led to believe that he doesn't earn that as a flat wage..he earns that if he hits certain targets ..i could be wrong though
U fucking dropkick....im guessing it's nearly time for your bath before mummy makes you go to bed..gotta get a good sleep for school tomorrow little fucking boy....im sick of fucking brain dead morons...this is a fucking forum if We all agreed with you it would not be a forum would it.. u get all aggressive with fellow supporters I wonder what you are like in school when someone who supports a different team has a dig at you..wow hope your school chums only support teams that are playing worse than us...lmao
yeh ...at times we looked a little shellshocked but i think we had a lot of good periods in the game.I know it's a bit what if- ish...but do you think they would of had it that way if we had a full team.
Very well put mate. Totally agree, apart from levy...i just can't have him. Any decent chairmen could of done what he has, in my opinion. He is nothing special in the business world..but you hit the rest smack on. Brilliant explanation
We've moved backwards, sadly, since the end of the 16/17 season. It's very difficult for a club of our nature (owners who don't want to splash the cash without high percentage certainty of getting a return on their investments) and our revenue comparative to that of our rivals, to maintain competing at that level.
You seem to think that it's the fans' fault though. What can we really do, as fans? Go to the games, create an atmosphere, sing, get behind the team. I do all that. Having an opinion on a message board ain't going to change anything. The most we could do is mobilise a movement to oust the manager or chairman/owners, but that would be madness- in my opinion.
The manager is doing a brilliant job with what he has.
And whilst Levy/ENIC can be overly cautious at times, and as fans that's frustrating, I'd rather that than being run like Man City/Chelsea, or gambling away the club's future. I can't really think of a chairman I'd rather have- can you?

Surely you mean 16/17?
But even then, most would agree we've moved backwards. We haven't even had a stadium for a year and a half. That's tough in itself.
That's the nature of football.
