Dules, either you're on a bit of your classic windups or you must have everything going your way in your personal life bro, cuz you're even outdoing Ricky.
I've never seen you tbis optimistic about Arsenal before, and that includes when we were a shoe in for top 4 every season with the odd title chase sandwiched inbetween when you'd always be adamant Spuds would win the league/cup/fimish ahead of us.
Still can't tell if you genuinely are this optimistic/trying to convince yourself/or just seeing the reaction you can get 😆
Life’s pretty solid at the mo - if I could pause time I would! Not on the wind up, don’t need a reaction from folk I don’t know. Maybe it’s because football is lower down in my interests compared to family and horse racing I don’t know, but I focus on the positives - Kroenke is now investing more heavily having gained more control, we’ve got rid of most of the deadwood, we have a manager with big potential, and despite not having played good football in general there have been glimpses of where we intend to get to.
Arteta’s talent ID is excellent. I’m willing to give him time. My main gripe with him is that I wish he’d be more ruthless in the rebuild. I recon we’ve reached the point where he will be more proactive on that front. We have a slim squad and room on the wage bill. Let’s see what the summer brings - I’m right when saying there are loads of options out there for us to improve.
Also feel others need to keep their expectations in check. City, Liverpool, and Chelsea have top four entitlement with their current status. We’re probably where we are as a club. Top four is still in our hands, though I don’t think it’ll happen.
We’re on a journey and moving in the right direction. Rather than sit in the back and repeatedly yell “are we there yet?” I’d rather put my head back on the headrest and look out the window playing a game of I spy
