although our squad has been raveged with injuries and is now looking threadbare, although bar chelseas no other squad would be able to stand up to these injuries
the fa cup game, wenger knew we couldnt challenge on all 4 fronts so i think he sacrificed it, the carling cup wasnt our first team again this is wengers policy and other managers are following suite to an extent.
champs league, a penalty decision(1st leg) did have a massive influence on the outcome whatever way you look at it, although obviousy we should have taken our chances and then these decisions would havent been that major
thats another way you could look at this season
I admire your half glass full attitude man I really do, but its hard to find anything good when once again you come up short, and the fact that we are going to go trophieless again (unless something crazy happens) is eating away at me. We have had injuries and of course that has an effect, but earlier in the season United were crippled and still managed to win games, not directed at you I assure you, but I'm sick of hearing that excuse.
The fact that Wenger had to make a choice on which cups we would compete proves what some of us have been saying all along, our squad is ridiculously thin and its showing, but even people on this site continue to whistle and pretend we are going to turn it around "in the next game", but nothing we have done can back that up.
I'm not trying to be negative for argument sake, but everything is not ok, and finishing third instead of fourth in the league wont exactly fill me with pride.
