Fozzy’s mate 
As I trudged away from the last home game of the 2008/9 season a 4-1 defeat by Chelsea my fellow Gooners were shocked when I stated 'with this strategy we will never win another trophy under Wenger'. What I meant was that we were clearly not prepared/willing to make the required investment to win the Prem or CL and the manager gave away the Carling and FA cups. Now I had no crystal ball but felt that the combination of scrooge Wenger backed by the old fart/Etonian and his dough trousering chronies was the perfect team not for providing the much longed for glint of silverware come May but for making a bulging bank balance even fatter.
As probably the only regular viewer of the ATVO/propaganda Friday night phone in my fears had been further fuelled by the cringeworthy shareholders meetings where anyone who dared question the transfer policy in a polite manner was basically told to F off by Mr Wenger and the old fart. That summer the sickening dough trousering reached unseen heights when the £40 million fees for Ade and Kolo were once again banked with less than £9 million used for Tommy V. Things have drifted since both in the transfer market and on the pitch until the day after catastrophic cup final defeat to relegation threatened Birmingham when that puppet Gazidis conceded we have a cash reserve of £110 million but called for further extraordinary patience from the long suffering faithful.
As Benitez would say – Fact: we were told firstly the price increases and then the move from Highbury were to enable us to compete with Chelsea and Manure in the transfer market on a regular basis.
Fact: We were then told that due to the repayments we could not compete.
Fact: Now we are told we refuse to compete and must show extraordinary patience.
Our board could be accused along stock market lines of making misleading statements to fans and small shareholders. The board say they don't take dividends but having such a cash reserve can only serve to massively boost the share price for those who like to call themselves the custodians of our great club.
All this mob do is worship at Arsene’s office door as more dough rolls into the coffers following another trophyless but top four finishing season. What the one eyed genius needs is a board to challenge him to regain his former greatness and take us to the summit, not this dough trousering spineless bunch. We all still desperately want to believe once again that 'Arsene knows' and of course winning while making a transfer profit year on year is the ultimate. But after six trophyless seasons and the club in such a fantastic financial position it is now time to invest some of the aforementioned trousered dough.
If Arsene will not do this under his own steam he needs a strong nudge from those who after all are his bosses. Yes, in Arsene we do still trust but we all need some help along the way and this bunch of faceless suits led by the old fart are too busy trousering to look back at their catastrophic decision to boot out David Dein, who was a huge part of our success.
Personally I hope I am proved wrong as we parade the Premiership trophy around our stadium in May. I am sick of losing any game that really matters and feeling Arsene’s pain as he trots out another speech about mental strength that simply does not exist.
My overriding wish is that as I drift away from this season’s final home again I am not once again asking that same question, "Will we ever win another trophy under Wenger?"
