mZuzek said: I'm not sure what your argument is supposed to be. You're talking about Arsenal's last 10 years vs. Liverpool and Tottenham's present, but then you switch it up to Liverpool's last 10 years or whatever. Look, there's a very obvious reason why Arsenal was laughed at for all this time, and it's because they stopped trying. Ever since the turn of the decade (maybe even earlier), they've been on a consistent steady decline every season, and it doesn't look like there's anyone at the club willing to change that. If you've been out of contention for the UCL spots for a few years, but you've changed managers and now you finally got there, it's only natural to be confident because the club is making progress, now if Liverpool still hasn't won a trophy and is still just fighting for top 4 every season three years from now, then it'll definitely be time to ask questions. |
I'm not even arguing anything, I was just joking around..
I know the reason Arsenal's been laughed at. Part of it is the throw-away word "ambition". True the owner doesn't seem to care about winning anything but I don't think it's fair to say Wenger & players stopped trying. Also the results have been pretty consistent, even last season when we finally dropped out of CL we still had 70+ points we had for the past 10 years or so. Now we just crashed.. hard to call it a steady decline. I kind a hope you're true the club as a whole stopped trying though. If we got those results without trying then bouncing back shouldn't take much effort heh.
Right now we're simply having the worst season in years (our away record looks like we should be relegated) and you have the best season in years so.. your banter about Arsenal is just brutal, like beating a blind guy who's already unconscious :D
And don't get me wrong, I like banter and I don't take it seriously. I've got nothing against Liverpool either. I like to watch them play and they're a big club with a history. They even had two great Finnish players playing for them, Hyypiä & Litmanen so I used to watch alot of their games. And Klopp seems like a nice guy, I hope he has success.
