From Norrie : coming to pass
Hi Myles,
You printed my thoughts on August 12th at the beginning of the season:
“We’ll get better, but my fear is that the signings we should have made to tip us into contention will leave us where we normally are: somewhere between 3rd and 4th.”
At what point does a prediction become a description?
From: Dave Jam: tomorrow
“Jam Tomorrow” was the rhetoric from Ivan, as each year our best players were sold and replaced with inferior ones.
This war chest of cash, built on the misery and heartbreak of fans, will very soon be worth a fraction of what it was, thanks to the TV money on the way.
It would be downright naive to imagine that the owner, board and manager were not acutely aware of this last Summer.
Simply put, when the very best possible time to spend presented itself, we chose not to.
Jam tomorrow indeed. Cheap Walmart jelly more like!

Fantastic piece!
Most balanced & comprehensive overview I’ve read on Arsenal’s middle class mutation.
Four weeks ago I heard that Alexis Sanchez would leave.
In his position, I would. He’s wasting his best years at a club owned by a billionaire who sets out not to win every year.
Why should one of South America’s hottest footballers do that?
