Ian Wright Wright Wright RIGHT!

Bless his soul, our Ian Wright has just about summarised everything right here. My guesses on the questions he has raised:

Will Arsene stay? Possibly, but if so, it'll be for just one more season. He'll try to make a few more "astute" (i.e. cheap or free) signings this summer, and try his luck with the dice one final time. If it works, he'll go. If it doesn't, he'll still go.

Has it been a problem with the cash or his stubborn-ness? I'll say it's probably a combination of the two. Can't find a better term than "mutually reinforcing". Let's face it. The Emirates has no doubt constrained our spending, but looking at it from the long term, the next 10-20 years, it was no doubt a good move. I can't see how Anfield and Stamford Bridge can continue as they are, and one fine day, they're going to have to do the same.

The next point from Arsene's imminent departure then, is of course - Cesc. He'll go too, definitely. Probably next summer too. At which point, I'd say would be perfect timing for a rebuilding of sorts. I've been watching DVDs of seasons past (to get over the depression). Whether it was 2001-2, 2002-3 and of course, the Invincibles, this team is really quite a bit different. Let's not even get to the days of 1997-8. We've heard this term many times before - and that is Balance. We're capable of some wonderful stuff at times, but the defeats this season have revealed nothing other than an awful lack of balance.

By the summer of 2011, RVP will be 28 or something like that, and in my mind - at his peak. There will be be no better choice for captain and as the creative fulcrum for the team. Bergkamp reincarnated. Who knows, with a new manager, a new set of goalkeepers and defenders, a couple of strikers, and the rampaging pair of Ramsey and Wilshere in front of Song, we could just do well enough for a change. I kinda hate watching MOTD on Sundays. It sucks having Keown and Dixon sit there and talk about our defensive shitness. They're the types we need. On the pitch!

As you can see. I'm already past this season, and the next one too.
