Swansea, in 5 years of Premier League football, has more silverware than Arsenal does in the past 8 years.

Not that I am bitter about not winning any trophies.  It is hard to retain faith Arsène Wenger considering the failure of the team in so many competitions. In previous seasons, it has been injuries that have ruined us. We were going to win the title in 2008 until Eduardo was injured against Birmingham. And then our season fell apart. And since then it has been injury to key player after injury to key player. And it has not been helped by Man 5hitty and Barça stealing our players. But this season, despite Van Persie going to ManUre has been one where injuries can not be blamed. We have a squad that should be in third place. One that could be pressing for the title. One that should have won against Bradford and one that should have beaten Blackburn. Bradford played great football, but our squad was one that should have been up to the task. And we should have not defended as bad as we did against Blackburn. Let alone how bad we played against Villa on Saturday or the way we gave up in the first half against Bayern Munich. If we defend that bad on the weekend, then the Scum will not only get three points over on us, but loads of goals as well.  There is, quite simply, no excuse.  The players can blame themselves, and they should.  Me, I do think it is time to start thinking if a change of manager is what is needed.  Unless our new signing, Nacho Monreal, is going to make our defence a force to be feared again, we are going to keep letting in easy goals.  And if that continues to happen, a new manager may be what we need. 

It is hard for me to say this as I do think that we owe Arsène so much.  But the team have not been performing as they should and if he can not get them to play to the potential that they have, then someone else may be needed.  I am going to have to wash now as I feel dirty...
