Sherif is talking out of his bum hole. It was clearly said back in 06 Arsenal wouldn't compete for some time. Instead of looking at short term why don't you look at the long term prospects? After all what is 9 years of "no success" compared to decades if stability?
----------------------------------------------------

Really? When was that said? What does it mean to compete? So, looking into our financial figures and huge profits over the years, what did you see that ave you the impression we couldn't compete?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Back when we moved in to Emirates, something was said that Arsenal would have to sacrifice success for long term stability. Those profits were needed to pay of the stadium debts, signing long term sponsorship deals meant that by around 2010 Arsenal were left behind in revenue terms, as likes of Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool signed lucrative deals. So until the sponsorship deals with Nike ran out and the original ones with Emirates, Arsenal had to balance the books. Now Arsenal have the most lucrative sponsorship deal with Puma in English football history add to the fact that a new Emirates deal has been signed. All the while during the trophyless period...

Haha it's like talking to a brick wall, no matter what new information is presented that contradicts your initial stance you won't budge. If you can look at the financial reports and still dismiss them is there any point in a debate?

the delusion is strong in this one

Its not like we haven't challenged for trophies on the previous 8/9 years. We reach I think 3 cup finals (1CL and 2 CC) with a bit of luck we could easily have won the CL and the Cup game against Birmingham.

All it takes is abit of luck in finals as unfortunately we didn't get any.

Well done Sheriff and Godlee for talking common sense

Wenger

He's blatently lying Godfather. The much more logical explanation is that he developed a fear of spending around the same time we moved into our £400m stadium. Through therapy and counselling he's managed to stop being scared of spending, conveniently at the same time we have loads of money to spend. How lucky is that
