6 years and running Arsene!

WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
IN ARSENE WE BELIEVE?
Who remembers vividly the celebrations of the Arsenal players when they last won a cup? No? Nobody? Anybody? It seems everybody remembers the near misses and the cries of the players for the past six years. Who is to blame? The spear-head of the Arsenal philosophy Arsene Wenger, I presume. He is the coach, he chooses the players to buy and the players to field and everything connected to the club. It certainly looked like, no, most people thought it will be a rout at the hands of Birmingham in the league cup, I thought so. And what did we witness? The long term investment in young inexperienced players, of which he let most of the older experienced players leave to other clubs, and of course the loss to a Birmingham side who were gifted a goal by a mistake by two of the recent inexperienced players Laurent Koscielny and Wojciech Szczesny. No doubt, Arsenal on a good day, play the best attractive football. But does that really matter when you dont get the needed result? Most of their major loses and draws boils down to the inexperience the players have. It makes Arsenal look like a money making business rather than a team. I might as well buy some of their shares. Forget all the near misses and what not, Arsene Wenger needs to buy good experienced players. The current crop of players are not quite cutting it for me. Tactically, Arsene Wenger is good, but he needs some experience in his ranks to help the younger ones or else Arsenal will look more like an Academy and less like a footballing club, always making players to be shipped to better teams.
