@jackal, as bill parcells used to say, you are what your record says you are.
Yes Tottenham have finished behind arsenal, for however many seasons, and we don't have the stadium as of yet to compete on game day revenue, but we are well run and the chairman is backing the manager with the players he's asked for.
It feels despite the setbacks that we are moving forward with a plan on how we are going to get better. Arsenal dont. Wenger is doing the same thing hoping to get different results which is what Einstein defined as madness. I think arsenal have a weaker squad than us and are in real danger of falling into the grasp of clubs striving for champions league football, us, liverpool, Everton and the swansea's and WBA's. despite selling carrick, berbatov, and modric, we're stil challenging and the team has changed but moved onwards. Arsenal and wenger are relying on unearthing gems when they need a few polished stones in the team now, not paying over the odds, but the finished article who will give them a couple of seasons to allow the young ones to flourish. It feels like wenger has not replaced henry, fabregas, viera, toure, nasri, clichy, which leads to a decline in competitiveness..
I think arsenal need to start over, and look at getting someone Younger and more energetic in. Wenger had a good run, achieved a lot, but eight years is a lot of patience for any board, and wenger hasn't shown any recent inclination to change and remould his side as ferguson did so many times at Man U.
Arsenal need to find a new dein/wenger partnership, but I'm not sure who they could replace them with..
