It's interesting, and sometimes funny, to read opinions on here that often say this Arsenal season was inevitable because of how the owners run the club, while we're never going to get there because of how we're run.
The point I always return to is that the critical moment for us was when Poch had a bit of a downturn. The club and a strong majority of fans failed that particular test. And we've been a nonsense club since then. Neville made a good point the other day - spurs are addicted to conflict and drama for no reason. Levy and Conte, and presumably Paratici, are all part of that. Always moaning or deflecting.
There's nothing other than Arteta's outstanding work to assign causation for Arsenals stellar performances. It was not inevitable that Odegaard would work out so well. Or that Saka and Martinelli would develop so well. Or that their defense would come so good. Or that xhaka would improve so much. That's all Arteta.
Our investment in staff has been fine. Equivalent to arsenal's and in the top of the range for the league. We've backed Conte well with substantial signings. He's just not gotten the team performing well enough. Maybe that will come. But itd help if he stopped moaning and just got on with it. Which hes well capable of given the evidence of last season's run in.

Hypothetically speaking, if I offered you all the FA Cup for us but Arsenal won the league, how would we feel? Personally I wouldn’t give AF about them winning as long as we got a cup of stature too.

Saka faking injury during the game again last night. Does it every match.
Anyway, brilliant they lost. Let’s hope they go in a run of defeats now starting away at Everton where hopefully Dyche can have a new manager bounce (although his Burnley results against the scum were pretty bad).

Last time we won the FA Cup they won the league with losing just one game that season away at Chelsea.
All I was bothered about was winning the Cup, though it did help beating them in semi final on the way.
I was actually wondering how that Lee Gunner chap is coping. He really nailed his colours to the mast before the season started, mocking transfers and ripping into the fans who were backing Arteta. I'm not about to go and watch any of his videos because he's probably done a full 180 and is gushing but I was wondering.

I did wonder if Partey was injured because there's no way they'd risk taking the step down in quality by bringing Lokonga on unless he was. Shame.

I was discussing a similar point with my missus, my hypothetical was if we won the CL and the scum won the league. Instantly yes all day long and would well and truly put to bed the ‘what have you won’ boring old dig. I know it’s wishful thinking and most certainly hypothetical but if we win the UCL I wouldn’t give a darn what Woolwich do with that PL trophy.

If we're playing these game I'd say we'd need the CL to be able to ignore their PL win.

Well we snared the League Cup in 1971 when they got the title, then in 1991 we got the FA Cup while they won the title again so I suppose there is a precedent.
Life is full of strange things but winning the UCL would be fucken lovely

AFTV- Bro with microphone "we didnt see that coming". Tw@t supporter, " I predicted we would win 5 nil", really. Anyone who knows football knew it was going to be a tough match.
Too early to say but lets hope Arsenals soft unbelly has been exposed for others to exploit. Arsenal didn't like it up"em, yesterday.
Well done Everton
