You can't use that as an excuse for the outcome of the entire season.
This team lacks midfield play, lacks a striker, has defenders with liabilities, is loaded with some really averge to poor footballers, and simply cannot handle pressure.
To top it all off, is led by an old senile fool in complete denial.
If you want to blame luck then it is being unlucky enough to being stuck with Wenger for god knows how many more years.
A game or two, sure. 7 months? Laughable.
Nonsense...... It has been the same every season for over a decade, some other hope in past glories. What have we been buying into as its fans? Hmm a sure bet attracting some other players into this club's wanton aims of achieveing its mediocrity. Stuck in limbo land of struggling on into Europes champions, retaining its status. A status that more often than not remains trophyless.
Although I might agree the ref'ing this season have been absolutely clueless, throwing so many league games needlessly.. It is so disgusting that infact when it has gotten this bad, they should probably let a computer do its job from their lack of fairplay. But then where is the drama? A joke.
The problem remains mostly in a lack of spending by this club through pinching its pennies, or often buying crap that it cannot hold onto. Spending that should be committed to getting the right team combination right and having quaility spares. There has sometimes been some players bought, but they aren't about for that long due to an overall lack of team performance. While others purchased have been pointless, staying for only a season or they are often crap. Although largely the problem found is in the tactics employed, lacking in a clear direction fixating on particularly achieveable goals,. Instead of it failing at almost everything, but in being in the league's top 5. Limbo land, that often uses the same tactics and the same formation where any limbo is content to be a okay premiership side, but never the best side. As it suffers without any real seasonal improvement, because the only consistency found is getting into that top five and being happy with their lot there, but never the top spot. As they later go and get knocked out of Europe again and again for being crap, But questionably if any team achieves the top 5 for over ten years now, shouldn't they have won the top spot on probability alone in that decade? Doubtfully this team could, because the odds won't work like that, playing this badly. And every year they fall apart at the same time, they have too many games, too many injuries, a lack of quality in the particular feilds played, the strikers, defense and formations, a lack winning motivation. As they get paid for their limbo regardless, so why not be that other some what decent remember those past glory days top five team? Yawn we are getting so bored of them....
