True. Although last year I remember it was a pic of Henry (and Linford Christie randomly?) wearing an almost pained on version of our current top. Don't even know how he would get that over his head!

And we will get knocked out in the Round of 16 again unless we add some class to our team
Surely at some point there must be a higher goal than "making the champions league"

Henry just carefully explained to the shirt how it was meant to happen, and suddenly it was there and had no idea how it did happen, but had a warm feeling inside
Well things have worked out quite well since this
still believe even 4 wins from the remaining 8 will do it. Liverpool (H), Burnley (A) and Chelsea (H) are difficult. 5 points from these fixtures would send us on our way. Regardless, we should be aiming for 9-12 points in the three home games against Swansea, Sunderland, West Brom and the away game at Hull.
A win v Liverpool and we're on our way to top 3 or better IMO.
I totally agree with this for sure. But in the position we are now, we can't really do much more.
Win the FA Cup again and qualify for the CL, where we can hopefully make a good tilt at progressing past the round of 16.
The clubs goal is to win the league each season. That's never changed.
The minimum expectation is to make the Champions league because of the revenue. Revenue which has allowed the stadium payment to be under control and now free up funds to add that "Class" that you want.
Ozil and Sanchez have been added in the last two off seasons, We made a play for Suarez too. We are now in a position to get the players we want.
Expect another "class" signing in the off season - Looking particularly at Germany/Dortmund.

We've underachieved this season.
Too many dropped points from winning positions, a lot of these against rubbish opposition. Should be neck and neck with Chelsea at this point, not 7 points and one more game played.
We also went out in the CL knockouts to a team that would finish upper mid-table in the BPL - pretty embarrassing stuff.
Although we have made some genuine progress, as always, it's two steps forward, one step back.

You're joking right?
Walcott can actually put the ball in the back of the net - he's one of the best finishers at the club. Welbeck looks like he'd struggle to score an empty netter at times.
Walcott's finishing since coming back from the knee injury has been terrible. His final ball has gone backwards hence his greatest asset now is his pace and getting in behind a high line.
Pre injury, he was in career best form and had a lot more to his game.

And you don't think that will return with confidence and game time ?
Most certainly yes. Its odd how much Wenger has under used him of late, especialyy with Ox's injury.
Which led to my earlier comment - that Welbeck seems to be preferred because of what else he brings to the team.
On the Tuesday Club podcast one of the guys said Winterburn told them Wenger and Walcott have had a falling out. Both got into a shouting match.
Have heard some similar rumblings Lats. There's some issues behind the scenes with his contract coming up as well.
Enjoy your break Skertel

And "We've made contact with the embassy" re: Walcott's management team.
Did chuckle at this quote from Wenger re: Walcott's contract:

That midfield diamond of Rossicky, Hleb, Fabregas and Flamini in 07/08, we should have won that season.
Had to rewatch this. Great stuff. How many goals against Spurs? The goal to put us 3-2 (in the first 5-2 at the Emirates) was his first overall that season I believe, was injured for the first few months. That game was played in February I recall, might be wrong though.
He owns the filth
Very strong first XI with lots of talent, but just didn't have the leadership/steel to galvanize us after the Birmingham debacle.
What should've been three points turned into a circus with the Gallas meltdown, Eduardo injury etc.
It was crazy stuff by Clichy though, should've been a routine clearance out of the box.
