The question was asked, was Arsenal ever this bad against a team outside the top six....your argument doesn't hold any water....

and game 2

"It’s hard to imagine now but that’s exactly what Fergie did, 25 years ago this week, when Man United went to play then struggling Southampton at The Dell and fell 3-0 down at the break, wearing a grey kit that never saw the light of day again after that match. United came out after halftime wearing a blue and white kit and won the second half 1-0."


my mistake man utd lost both. i thoght they came back.

is that "holding enough water" for you:mjlol::hubie:

The Arsenal
it questionable as to whether city were an established "top six" team back then.

in retrospect it could be argued but wolves, leicester like performance (at that time) didn't quite cut it IMO

in the 5 previous seasons man city got 14th, 9th, 10th, 5th and 3rd which back then was not really "top 6" established.

@hashmander
look the flaw isn't you using the man city defeat as an example of something like arsenal losing to a team badly outside the top 6. the flaw is you thinking that's one of our low seasons (like these are united's low seasons).

He put too many noses out of place and got sabotaged especially by that John Murtough.
Yeah Murtough definitely looked to cover his own ass but I also think Ralf was looking for a way out when be realized what he was dealing with.

My favorite Ralf leak was him trying to figure out who sanctioned purchases of Amad and Pellistri (two 18 year old right wingers) in consecutive years for over 50m instead of buying a defensive midfielder.

i just meant the isolated matches. i wouldn't write off this season just yet though.
