Not sure why this is an unpopular opinion. This year will be our 17th consecutive season without the title. so we're already more than halfway there. Our chances of winning the league in the next 13 years look very unlikely considering how the club is and has been run for years.
Didn’t look likely in 75/76 when we finished 17th
It didn't, and we didn't win the league for 13 years after that.
It didn’t look likely in 94/95 either
Worst home season I have ever seen and 38 points behind Blackburn.
Double winners 3 years later
Well, we had won the league four years earlier in 1991. Glory days weren't just a distant memory like they are today.
Yes but we now had an ageing defence( nobody knew that wenger would come in and rejuvenate them) journeymen like mcgoldrick and Carter. Imponderable youths like Selley, flats and Hughes and smith and Wright both the wrong side of 30. The statement of intent in the signings of Bergkamp and platt looked a long way off
Particularly during those 4 months without a home league win
