Do a search under your name for Arsenal and see how often you've declared that there is a crisis and/or that Wenger hasn't got long left. Arsenal aren't doing well right now but still. It's tiring.

There is a difference between complaining and declaring a crisis. I complained several posts ago. There is lots to complain about but it's not a crisis. A crisis is what is happening to Coventry or what happened to Liverpool years ago. Losing a game and unhappy fans is not a crisis and needs to be put into perspective. Anything which can be forgotten in a couple of good results is not a crisis.

Fair enough. Fans should complain, it's a joke how badly this summer has gone. Just don't think it counts as a crisis.

I'd say a team with Arsenal's heritage and following not getting a sniff at a trophy or getting anywhere near the Premier League title in coming up to 10 years should be considered something of a near-crisis especially with so many star players leaving and not being replaced.

Probably a disappointment, except to the teams taking advantage, and Tottenham fans :D

Yes :D

Though that sort of game normally means Utd will get a dodgy decision, and win. Here's hoping not

No it isn't. Plenty of teams have great heritage but aren't close to the league. West Ham, Leeds, Villa, Forrest and more.

I have a feel United's ability to squeeze out an unearned win retired along with SAF.

Stoke got away with murder again today. Hopefully this is the season in which they return from whence they came and where they belong.

I'm sorry are you really comparing Arsenal to teams who had success almost a generation ago? 10 years ago Arsenal were winning league titles and had done for about the previous 5 years or so, they were the 'Invincibles', trophies etc, hit a barren spell from hell and haven't recovered - without any indication of wanting to recover. Selling your best players to pay for a new stadium is pretty awful going. OK that may not really be what happened but where is all the money they've had from transfers?
