Arsenal are always too good, eventually. Chelsea are too strong also. Morinho would have it no other way.

Yeah, they tear into Wenger every time they have a bad game. That's so unfair in my opinion, because he has worked wonders at that club: always in the top four, won trophies, and has not broken the bank ever. What's more, Arsenal always play football the right way.

10 years and no trophies, with the sort of money that arsenal have, i'm not so sure.

Still waiting for big trophy

They've won the last two FA Cups, plus have had a Champions League final in that time. They've also qualified for the Champions League for like 13 seasons in a row. All this, whilst managing a move into a new stadium without going bankrupt. In my opinion, they've shown the other big clubs how to remain financially astute and how to build for the future.

But you're right, they need a big trophy soon. But then so do we :(

They won the last two FA cups after a 10 year dry spell and let's face it, The FA cup does not have the prestige it used to. All you need to do is string a few good results together and you can win the FA cup. It's the premiership and champions league everyone wants now.

I still say winning nothing for 10 years with the sort of finances arsenal have is shocking. I can understand why their fans are pissed off, i would be too.

After Liverpool missed that chance to win the 2013/2014 season, it will be a long time of talking about history for Liverpool fans i feel.

This is only the Mirror, but it sums up my view:

For me, Arsenal are a breath of fresh air in the modern game. All the other giants have been literally buying titles. Even Liverpool are now trying to buy Champions League football. Call me old-fashioned, but if Arsenal were to finally win that big trophy through financial astuteness, clever management, pretty football and perseverance and loyalty to their manager, then their victory would be all the greater for it. I'd certainly have more respect for it than anything that that Russian crook and the shady Arab have ever bought between them, for Chelsea and City.

While football is obviously a business, football is not about balancing the books, it's about winning. I have heard a lot of arsenal fans claim they would rather arsenal finish 4th than win the league the way Chelsea wins it but in reality i think they are only saying that out of bitterness. Nobody is going to remember in thirty years how well arsneal managed their finances, Chelsea 2012 champions league win on the other hand...

Also, what is inherently wrong with people injecting money into a club in order to buy a better squad and improve the club? Shouldn't we just be happy they are improving the premier league, attracting players away from Spain.
