You are old Father Time

First I am about to be older, how long I've been about can be worked out from the following story.
Answers on a used Twenty pound note behind the bar of my choice.

Once upon a time an Arsenal fan was preparing to leave for a home match. His wife knew of his affection for the team, which resulted in probably the first marital row, as he'd nearly missed the train for his honeymoon by insisting on getting a classified to find out the result of the match on his wedding day. The row must have been made up though as she was now heavily pregnant but none the less Arsenal and dedication called.

Before he could leave the house though things started moving, well the baby started moving actually, and he had to leg it to the nearest phone box. He politely asked the person already on the phone to hurry up, with both hands, and called an ambulance.

At bang on three o'clock on that Saturday afternoon, in the days when three o'clock on Saturday afternoon meant something, the child was born and I've been an awkward sod ever since.

When I was less the two hours old Arsenal had beaten Sunderland three nil and Doug Lishman had scored a hat trick.

Now what prompted me to start this lark up again.
I watched our match yesterday more in hope than expectation and the hope was dashed. I'm writing this having been in Mugabe media lockdown since the final whistle so I haven't read any reports or comments from anyone yet but I am more than a little worried about my team and the manager that I respect and revere.

Mr Wenger says I should trust him and Arsene knows best but I'm finding it very hard to give that trust at the moment. There is light at the end of the tunnel but at the moment Arsene seems to be the only one convinced that it's not the three o'clock to Euston barrelling down the tunnel.
Too many young and inexperienced players. Nasri and Bendtner who will both probably be gone by September and a Physio room that must have Colin Lewin on enough overtime to match RVP's wages.

The injuries may be put down to bad luck but that bad luck has been running for three or four seasons now and a squad that thin is down to Le Boss and won't be put right in the next two weeks. If we had bought players when the fans were screaming for them then adding a couple or three now might turn the trick but we seem to be back in the position we were several seasons ago when the consant excuse was that they are a young squad and will learn as they mature. Unfortunately it looks like they mature and leave and we buy even more and even younger.

Arsene seems to have lost his Mojo and unfortunately I don't think Gazidis is it. I suspect it's the same colour as Phil Brown and pissed the board off enough to be thrown out. Arsene needs not to worry about the clubs finances. He's taken far to much responsibility on himself and the board have let him do it. His job should be to bankrupt the club by buying in talent and it's the boards job to jerk his collar and stop him just in time.

Can he manage that? Somehow I doubt it, but if he can't we are in danger of becoming the best run, mid table, selling club in the league.

If Mr Wenger can stand there and flip me the bird whilst holding any silverware at all next May no one will be happier than me but I suspect the bookies odds on him being there by then are shortening.
