"I'd rather lose at home to Swansea than be a bum club with lots of money and bums. Shit pushed in. Something about ****."
The in Wenger we trust morons will.. argue how great/hard it is they can compete vs the likes of big spending City, United and Chelsea.. The reality is they don't and that Swansea a team which costs a fraction of what Arsenals does.. has beaten them at home twice in recent times.
I am sure the resources at West Brom are nearly as good as Arsenals also
People need to face facts.. Wenger inherited a class defence.. which helped him get the title twice.. then he got a steal in sol Judas Campbell.. since then (campbells decline) he has done nothing. Other clubs scouting knowledge has improved and now Wenger can't compete...
He was never known for being a tactical great or a particularly good motivator.. Getting on for almost a decade since they last won ANYTHING (except the ATG emirates cup) let alone mount a serious league challenge... that's criminal..
Lukakau looks quite good outside of stamford bridge

Arsene Wenger:
"For me, there are five 'trophies' – the first is to win the Premier League, the second is to win the Champions League, the third is to qualify for the Champions League, the fourth is to win the FA Cup and the fifth is to win the League Cup. I say that because if you want to attract the best players, they do not ask 'did you win the League Cup?', they ask you 'do you play in the Champions League?'."
Qualifying for the Champions League is a trophy now!
That's a bit like a City fan in the Stuart Pearce years saying "You know what's a trophy? Finishing ninth!"
Not a fan of how Barcelona, Arsenal or in the same ilk Swansea play.
It's fucking boring.
Roll it out to the defenders, retain possession at any cost - rinse repeat. It's a pattern. Most people watch football for its unpredictability. If you get two teams doing that - you get a nonsense game where the teams are set defensively and the referee might as well abandon the game.
Of course, everyone has their pattern and Chelsea's is to defend deep and break with our embarrassing strike-force.
But that Barcelona model is not fun. If you can be arsed watch this crap Danish team that Chelsea will probably manage to lose to on Wednesday. Barcelona lite isn't the word. All the worst parts of Barcelona encapsulated in one mediocre side.
A top professional should be able to keep possession at any cost - it's not particularly impressive, imo.

Im sure Arsenal fans would rather finish top 4 and get champions league than win the League cup and no champions league
And im sure tht would be the same for United, City, Liverpool, Chelsea, or Spurs
