THIERRY HENRY IS SO, SO WRONG

SORRY, BUT TROPHIES ARE PART OF A TIERED SYSTEM

Arghhhh… I don't like doing this, but it does feel like it has happened before.

Going against King Thierry.

"I understand that at the very beginning you arrive and it's not your team. You need at the very least three or four transfer windows to change everything that you want to.

"It takes time and you have to give a manager time to be able to implement what he wants to do.

"For the last three years Arsenal have been in a situation where they should have at least brought one cup or [reached] a final."

"Manchester United have played in five finals in the last five years, the United that everyone laughs at - whereas for Arsenal in the last three years of building, they've not reached a final.

"So I do understand when people ask the question: 'Surely you should compete for a trophy?'"

A response to this requires some nuance and some clarity.

Winning trophies → good

Getting to finals → good

Having a party with your gooner family → good

Core memories geared around Arsenal → very good
