What Affect Financially..

Lose the persecution complex. Liverpool were slaughtered under Benitez when they lost CL football. ManUtd have been derided for quite some time despite being well in touch in the title race. Chelsea are not having it easy from the media either.

We're 5hite and there's nothing sensationalist about pointing it out.

4th only gets you a 2 legged qualifier probably against the likes of Udinese. That does not comfort me at all.

I know the 8 goals Man Utd scored distorts the goals we have conceded away, but Blackburn scored 4 and Swansea, who do not score many scored 3. Apart from RVP, no one else scores enough goals. 4th is possible, but looks a fair distance away.

The performances have been good but we havent scored goals

We are creating but not scoring. Ramsey, Gervinho, WAlcott could have easily scored 10 +goals
====================================
We needed and still need another striker!
Even if RVP doesn't get injured (which is very unlikely knowing our medical staff! ), no athlete can perfom at high level the entire season.
He has started to drop in form and if not rested, could last until the end of this season!

Lose the persecution complex.

Behave! I'm about as realistic as it comes! Persecution complex? I'm a football fan, not a political prisoner!

We've (as in Arsenal) have been flirting with this for a few seasons now and it's on the brink of finally coming round to it's natural conclusion.

As I tried to make clear, I think the problem is/was at board level (unless they know something us fans don't) and the FFP ruling will have Arsenal running free like puppies in a field and the likes of Citteh and Chelsea crying into their oats and water!

It's going to take a bit of a miniature disaster (no champs league) to force the fans to vote with their pockets and their tootsies, not just smirk and mumble into their coffee at an AST meeting whilst renewing their season tickets like teased minges!

The only advantage Arsenal have is that we have rich fans!

We have alot of private sector workers

The only advantage Arsenal have is that we have rich fans!
=======================================
I think you might want to re-phrase this as "the only advantage Arsenal has is that we have lots of stupid fans"
I confess, I am, myself one of those stupid fans whom will support the team thick and thin!

I didnt say Spurs 'have' competed in the NLD for most part of the Premier League until recently (2-3 season)... I did expect though as Spurs fortunes improved and we stopped rolling over half way through a game, that Arsenal would develop a case of the floppsy's and become so 'ordinary'. Like i said, i want Arsenal to compete and its difficult to offer any kind of sensible rationale when opposing fans like you go on the defensive

Think you've misinterpreted my demeanour. I actually did not comment on the NLD. Just finding it a bit silly so many fans (our own included) getting so knee jerk. Arsenal are having a bad season right now (that can all change, although I am very dubious it will right now).
