Thread: The State of Arsenal 🔴

Full disclosure. I don’t like KSE. I would happily see #KroenkeOut

But, KSE was never selling. Arsenal is an investment vehicle that even after the failed Super League will continue to grow in value yearly. (1/9)
Now, while there is plenty to dislike about the ownership, they are not the reason for our failures in the recent past. Over the past 5-7 years we have seen Arsenal with a net spend on par or above other teams that are finishing above us in the table. (2/9)
That is not the fault of ownership. Many of our issues aren’t from the board up, but from the executives down. Paying huge contracts to 30+ years old players, while also letting many leave the club for free is absurd on its face. Overpaying aging talent while (3/9)
underselling (or not selling) is a structure that a person with no business acumen could see is destined for failure. But what is done is done. It’s now on Edu, Mikel, and all of the players to step up and perform at the highest level. The support for the team is at a high (4/9)
The failed Super League coup has brought Arsenal fans together in an astonishing way. While I support the protests at the stadium for the recent embarrassment at the hands of ownership, it will be equally important that we as fans demand better from all levels at Arsenal. (5/9)
We are still a massive club. We have the ability to attract the sort of players that will see us consistently back in the Champions League (if we aren’t gifted a spot by UEFA’s new UCL model undeservingly 😂) But it demands constant and consistent pressure 6/9)
Fans must show the same passion and vigor as they have regarding the SL in demanding better from those making decisions at Arsenal day to day. We have an incredible group of youngsters that if brought along properly, and aided by quality veteran players could bring back (7/9)
the sense of competitive relevance in the Premier League that we all miss.

Like everyone else, I just want to see brought back the joy we all share in following Arsenal and supporting this great club. But it demands accountability. If not from within the club, then from fans.
As usual, I will hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and look forward to watching every time we step on the pitch. Here’s hoping to Europa League success and some positive momentum for the Arsenal 🔴⚪️ #COYG #Arsenal #TrustTheProcess #IMPROVEtheProcess (9/9)

Thread | Arsenal Top 4: By the Numbers 🔴⚪️

With Arsenal having won 5 of their last 7 games in the league on the current unbeaten run, talk has quickly shifted from relegation to the chances of making top 4. While our league position has greatly improved, top 4 is still a (1/8)
very unlikely (but not impossible) task that will demand a performance in the last 17 games that would rival a league winning side. Here are the numbers: (2/8)
Over the previous 10 PL seasons, the team finishing in 4th position finished with an average of 71.3 points. Arsenal currently sit with just 31 points through 21 games. (3/8)
