No it doesn’t. Just that they have an advantage over lower spending clubs.I guess by your logic Chelsea must win the league now right?
There’s so much wrong with that simplistic stuff. Winning the league may well be the objective now we’re spending like there‘s no tomorrow. But for lower spending clubs, that more certainly is not the objective and everybody knows that. And no manager in any job, anywhere, can keep improving year on year it’s an impossibility.Thing is it's not about being happy to finish 5th. It's whether or not it was an acceptable performance. No-one should be doing cartwheels unless we're 1st or at least in contention for the title. That's what the game is about. Winning.
If 4th is decent / minimum this season. 5th was okay last year. Not great but okay. The manner we lost 4th and to who still niggles a bit admittedly though. Was a bit of a bottle job.
I'll be happy with Arteta as long as he keeps improving our position year on year until we get in title challenging territory so 4th is the minimum for me this season.
Feel another manager of the month award coming soon, ngl.
Remember when Arteta last won it, and Tuchel threw a genuine hissy fit over it

In theory, Arsenal would need one more £150 mil summer in order to reach the £400 mil+ mark which is what Liverpool and City spent to win their titles.
Spot on. Without this massive push, there’s every reason to believe Tets would have settled in to being a top 8 manager as the last three seasons have shown us.I highlighted this, and I agree.
Another summer like this and Arsenal aren't challenging and clearly stating targets then it's a scam. There's no two ways about it, it's not the Arteta show it's supposed to be a competitive football club.
This is also where Arteta falls short for me, a more suited manager would have got this further along and been more helpful with player sales hastening the process (Auba, freezing out players and paying them to go etc).
The way Arsenal has gone about this is totally unique and Barca getting a substantial fee for a 33 year old Auba would further expose Edteta.
This coming from agenda merchant fair and balanced MachoThe joke is way more than half of those names are either pro Arteta or are completely pacified and tolerate absolutely anything as long as new/better players keep coming in.
Me, I don't like Arteta think he's average and a questionable man manager but if hes good for Arsenal, then he's good for Arsenal I will take the L on my opinions.
You shouldn't listen to @Shllin he's garbage tier. Pretends to be neutral on Arteta when it's peak, pipes up with stupid sh*t when it's looking good. His posts are like gum that get stuck at the bottom of your shoe and you need to scrape off, absolute rubbish.

The aim of any club is to reach a position where you can out perform your investment. And staying there is an unbelievable achievement. Winning is only the prerogative of the top spending clubs else you have to wait for a freak 1 in 140 year thing like Leicester.
Lol. Entitled claptrap. My best friend is an Everton supporter, he goes to every home game. He knows they’ll never win the league while City, Liverpool, Chelsea and United can out spend his team for fun. But he goes anyway because he loves the club, not for glory, not for winning the league, and not for winning the CL. They don’t have to pour over squad costs to know it.I'm not interested in getting into another Wenger top 4 debate.
The vast majority of Arsenal fans don't sit there pouring over squad cost details or the financial circumstances the club are operating under to determine whether we've had a good season or not. They want the club to win things or at least be improving our league position until we can challenge for major honours.
Supporting any club is an emotional investment and how supporters judge things is also emotional, there's nothing wrong with that. A club with the history and tradition of Arsenal needs to be moving on an upward trajectory in the medium term. That's what the majority of fans demand.
You frequently say Arteta In guys lower expectations around the club but if by the time Arteta leaves Arsenal aren't either winning league titles or at least challenging for them on a regular basis, I won't be able to judge his tenure here a success even if he's improved us significantly.
You don't get a trophy for outperforming your investment, there's no glory there. Winning things is what the game is about for a club like Arsenal.
Come on mate, use your brain. It’s part of the cost of a player, how much you’re liable for if you want to get rid.Why include wage costs in these tables, are players elsewhere on the dole?

Arsenal have had a similar spend to Sp**s over the life of the Prem and they haven’t won the league once. Liverpool have spent a lot more and only won once. The only reason you have this arrogance is because of one man, Arsène Wenger who won it 3 times and give our fans an invincible feeling . . . before they turned on him in thinking they were better than they had any right to be.

Is this true? (Sorry for the "flip-flops" I forgot to include and yes I'm aware of the dusted tag too).
It weird. I agree with so much of what you say but then when you talk about your view of where we are in the here and now I’m just like “eh?”. It’s like your a widower who’s wife died in a tragic car accident a decade ago. Years pass and you feel “the urge” - pull a bird at a bar but when the time comes to do the deed you pull up short (literally) because you keep seeing flashes of your one true love.Lol.

How about answer the question, why do our wages have to be included when everyone else is also paying their players wages? Or why even stop there, let's add tax and player agent fees too while we're at it?Come on mate, use your brain. It’s part of the cost of a player, how much you’re liable for if you want to get rid.
If Arteta wins the title it means he's most likely become a much better coach than he currently is. That would be like 10% of the way of my grievances with him, only way I'll ever be Arteta In is if he publicly apologises for being a selfish arrogant piece of ****.@Nacho @Trilly @Blood on the Tracks @Kav @Rimaal @Sebastes @El Duderino @Mrs Bergkamp @Rex Bezos @jones @Heskey @Penn_ @Hunta @OnlyOne @DanDare @Taylor Gang Gunners @field442

Where we are now is a very different place. KSE are realising that they can take on the oil clubs suddenly. How or why is a mystery. But they’re doing it, and Arteta is almost an irrelevance to this game changing move by the owners.It weird.

Arsène, great as he was, was not your wife. He don’t even know who you are bro. The past should inform our future but not define it.
