Liverpool - It's not looking too bad in the transfer market

On a small budget compared to the other Big 3, Arsenal have done as well as they could. In fact better than expected if you listen to the so-called experts on telly that have written Arsenal off so many times over the years. Credit to Wenger for being consistent through a period of so much change both inside and outside Arsenal. Its not easy to compete with the likes of City, Utd and Chelsea but I honestly think Wenger will get even closer this year. BTW 7 points is hardly a million miles away.

Lets see if Liverpool can qualify for the CL for the next 15 years, a bookie would probably give you 500/1 against.

Surely you have higher ambitions than to just qualify ?

Surely you want a season to last past Feb each year.

Your fans pay more money to watch your team than anyone else in the country - they surely want more than to just qualify ?!

It's the same story every season with Arsenal

Summer - buy small technical players plus a few cheap French kids

Start of season - the new signings start lovely with lots of great football whilst the sun shines

Autumn - getting out of the group stage is secure

Winter - Walcott injured , small technical players go into hiding

Spring - bow out of the CL in the last 16

End of season - Arsenal wither to 4th

Repeat each year
 
But what about Liverpool. Not long ago your season finished when the Christmas decorations came down. Great that you had a great season last year but I'd rather take Arsenals consistency and know they'd be in the CL again.

Yep we have been poor and managers have been sacked and we haven't been satisfied with the results

I won't be satisfied until we are challenging and winning big trophies - just qualifying won't be limit of the ambition
 
There in lies the problem. I don't know that you will. I don't see you winning the PL or CL. If the Carling cup counts then fine. It's great to be ambitious but I think United will splash cash and not dare repeat last season. Chelsea and City will do the same if the feel the need and Wenger will do it his way and connive a way. I think you'll contend for sure. Win...... not yet

How has sacking managers worked out for you how long is it 25 years

How has keeping Wenger worked out for you in the last ten years ?

We may have been poor below our standards but still streets ahead of Arsenal. Even whilst we have been struggling we managed it grab a CL win - how about Arsenal ?

Phil you must be on a wind up. Liverpool qualify for the CL once or twice in a blue moon and you mock Wenger when he has qualified Arsenal 16 years in a row?

Qualified enough to actually win the trophy and also reach another final , plus 2 semi finals , and a couple of quarter finals ( believe one of those was knocking out Arsenal )

There is more than just qualifying - it appears that's the level of ambition for Arsenal.

But that one CL win masks a whole load of underachieving in the PL. Arsenal invincibles won't be done again.

Doesn't mask anything

We know we have under achieved in the prem in the last two decades and it has cost managers their jobs. Arsenal are halfway there to matching that now yet the same manager still plods along.

Exactly. Half the time to change it around. Don't actually think he will and both Arsenal and Liverpool will struggle to break a City/Chelsea dominance. I think United are in the same boat too these days

Even whilst we were struggling in the the prem we were still winning trophies - both domestic and European to enable to team to continue to be successful

He'll keep going until he batters you into submission or converts you into a Scouser. Give it up

You haven't tried anything - you have avoided lots of points

Over the last decade since you last won the title all you have done is just qualify for the CL - if you have higher ambitions than that then why are you happy with a manager who isn't giving you more - oh that's rights you haven't got any money to spend etc etc etc ( despite spending millions )

I have no doubt your season will be the same maybe even worse than your previous ten seasons - there will be no change because the same flaws are there within your squad,
