Last Sunday's match left a bitter taste in mouth, and proved to me what I've been thinking all season Arsenal are not title contenders and cannot mix it with the big boys. Okay we beat the 3rd best team in Europe 4 days before, but someone answer me how we can loose to a mediocre Manchester side who are 8th but yet we can beat an inform Champions League side that went to the final?
We may have beat City in pre season, (Because that really counts doesn't it?) but Arsenal have not convinced me this season, the squad is missing 3 to 4 star players and if we can get a defender and a striker and hold on to our lead after Christmas then maybe my pessimistic mood will change. In football you win silverware by beating the best teams, and even though Man United are not the same as they were now that their under the Moyes regime, they are still one of the top dogs of English football and if Arsenal cant beat them when their haven't even hit 3rd gear, then we're not title contenders sorry to you Arsenal fans, our team does not cut the mustard.
The only thing that will change my mind is if Wenger brings in reinforcement in January, and we get results against the big boys, I don't accept for us to beat big teams in Europe, have string of results then fall at the big teams. And I also believe that with Wenger at the helm I don't think we'll win silverware as he hasn't brought in the right players and keeps selling key players. This is my opinion and my logic and if Arsenal fans wants to question my loyalty to the club then go ahead. I'm a realist and we can't be getting carried away with run of performances and man of match performances from our midfield. We need trophies at the club, the rats and the spiders are getting to comfortable in the trophy room.
