Before the Milan game I had written us off completely and did not know where our next win was coming from - given the run of results we were on and the way we had recently played I genuinely believed we'd continue to lose.
I have been forced to eat my words - hats off to the team, with a very assured display against a Milan side on a good run of form, hopefully we can use this to turn a corner.
This does not change my mind about Wenger, or about certain members of the team, however. Wenger needs to go as soon as possible, and certainly no later than the summer. Even if we win the Europa, that does not mask our awful domestic season so far - and in terms of the league alone we have been getting worse year on year for some time now and it needs to stop.
However, that notwithstanding, very well done to the team and hopefully it will continue, I fully accept my prediction leading into this game was way off the mark.
Credit where it's due

It does bug me slightly that people complain so mouch sbout the last couple of seasons. It was evident that Ozil and Sanchez were destroying the team yet Arsenal fans kissed their butts for two years, wanting them kept above all others. People got their wishes, the team totally tanked accordingly. Now an awful lot of people who wanted the destructive influences kept in the team, now want to blame Wenger alone for the damage done.
Arsenal fans asked for it, in terms of what we see now. All slated the likes of Ox, Walcott, Gibbs etc as dross In favour of mouthy lil twinkle toes Sanchez and Lazy feck Ozil. THEY FAILED where the dross ALWAYS succeeded.
Don't get me wrong I still think AW has lot the plot wuite some time ago now. But the jump in decline of the last few seasons was caused by a ridiculous lazy CAM, an arrogant loud mouthed pillock of a winger and the disruptive influences their poor attitudes had within the team.

You did get to 75 points last season so were unlucky not to get top 4 as previous season you got 2nd with 71. Although your performances last season were playing average and winning a lot of games. The strange thing is this season your performances are a lot better than any of the last 2 seasons but you are struggling for points lol.

In a team (note the word 'team' here) Ozil has consistently proven to be one of our better performers this season.
And whilst Ox has shown signs of improvement, the jury is currently still very much out on whether he's got it in him to play centrally.
Walcott has pretty much continued to do what he did at Arsenal, just for a worse team, whilst Gibbs is about to be relegated.
A total success...
