Were people actually wanting Wenger to leave in 2008 and thinking he was past it at that point? I just saw someone mention that in the thread about Arsene. That seems harsh as 07/08 while it had a painful ending was exiting and a push for the title. Sort of like last season.
Oh for sure City are the favourites and I think they will win it. I just wonder how much longer Spurs can keep this excellent form up. The team kept it up for much longer than many thought they would last season
Yes City did win in the end well in control and ahead. What I mean is I would say the team kept it competitive until April and it would be surprising if Spurs kept this form up until then but I am a bit nervous as I remember how long the team kept winning when most expected them to fall away earlier and Spurs do look decent
Are Spurs sort of like Arsenal last season? I am just starting to get a bit nervous. I remember everyone writing of the team saying there is no way this form will continue but the team kept winning mostly. They have that good feeling and positivity that the team had last season and that can help through a difficult run of fixtures. The same potential weaknesses can hit them like injuries, being very reliant on a small group of players so eventually running out of steam, inexperience. The team did keep it up until the final month and that is not easy so there is a long way to go.
2008 though was a promising season. Nobody is saying after last season that Arteta should go as it was a real push for the title. I understand with the benefit of hindsight we know what happened after 2008 but that team was exiting then. Also you know Wenger did deserve loyalty at that time and the chance to build another team. I feel people the majority started to feel a change was needed in the last several years. I think it was in 2016 though when Leceister won the league when a lot of people lost hope
