Arsenal’s future is Glowing and Every Other fan knows It! by Neil Watson
Having just watched a tedious FA cup semi final we learnt two important facts. Man United have no flair – and Spurs can’t beat them!
I have been bombarded with a lot of Facebook nonsense in the past 24 hours, in particular from Liverpool supporting scousers, who are quick to inform all Arsenal fans that Le Prof’s departure spells the beginning of a period of great instability within the Emirate walls….. They’re worrying already and we haven’t even named Wenger’s successor!!!
All of them quoted the turmoil United found themselves in after Ferguson left, but they forget United had just won the premier league with an incredibly mediocre team. By contrast our team has elements of great quality but more importantly we are currently residing in 6th position. Our new coach has only to finish 5th and he has improved on Wenger – although as we all know our incoming manager will propel us back to top four status at the very least!!
The Scousers who urged Gooners to be prepared to manage our expectations, know that with a tweak here and there we will find ourselves right back at the top end in the Prem with the only real contenders being Citeh and Liverpool: Chelsea have a less defined but still unbalanced squad and Spurs, well they’re just the same as they’ve always been. Today’s cup semi-final tells you all you need to know about how far their team can go.
We are in an incredibly positive position now. If we manage to land one from the suggested group of Tuchel, Enrique, Low or Allegri, we are going to be a significant force come August 2018.
Expect major transfer activity in the summer. If it’s a German manager we’ll be looking to sign players we know little about but Tuchel or Low will have a great knowledge of, if we land Enrique we will see what players are coming in from Spain and Allegri similarly will attract Italy’s finest.
Let every other fan from the other Prem teams tell you that we could be entering a dark period while I predict the new Arsenal will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes and come down upon them with great Vengeance!!!
It’s been a great week, culminating in the Spuds choking yet again.
Ooh to, ooh to be, ooh to be a.. GOONER!!
