Arsene Wenger in an interview with Arsenal’s official magazine has told the fans that they should be very proud of the club and what they have achieved.
The only problem is that they have heard it all before and if they end up yet another season without a trophy then the fans may not be as proud as what he hopes they will be.
Comparing the finances with Chelsea and Man Utd Wenger spoke up Arsenals position saying
“There are three clubs in the fight for the championship – when you see how much money the others have invested, we have not to be ashamed,”
“There are two main trophies in our job – the Champions League and the Premier League; today, we can still win them both.
“In addition, the club is in a healthy situation and we have a fantastic young side.”
Wenger though forgets that he has been saying they have a fantastic young side for years without any tangible success.
He also dismissed what other people are say
“What other people think is less important – what happens here is the deciding factor, along with how much belief we put into our game,” he said.
“We are in a fantastic position and it is now about how we turn it our way.
“In the position we are in, we do not need to calculate – the best way is to win one game, and then win the next one.
“I believe Arsenal fans can be very proud of their club, and that is at least what we try to give them – pride.”
Pride is a good thing and Wenger has done a tremendous job and is rightly classed as an elite manager but you know what? Even the patient Arsenal fans want a trophy now and one can be forgiven for thinking that they wont accept too many more excuses if they end trophy-less again.
