Dear Friends,
I was troubled by the celebrations yesterday from the Arsenal team as it showed in my humble opinion, a fall from grace. It appears I'm not alone and an Arsenal fan had a few comments about it as well.
Please see below;

They'd never celebrate coming 4th: http://bit.ly/XcC4Xw #Invincibles

Arsenal fans abusing me for not celebrating coming 4th are part of the problem. They've been reduced into settling for mediocrity.

No Manchester United team would ever celebrate coming 4th. That's the difference.

I don't like this. The team clearly believes Wenger's nonsense that coming 4th is winning a trophy. It's NOT. pic.twitter.com/SLZleZmxVs

"We celebrated a bit like we had won the Championship, which was a bit weird.." - Wojciech Szczesny echoes my sentiments. #Arsenal

Happy we nudged Spurs out of CL, but I think a sigh of relief is more appropriate than a conga. #Arsenal

Bit embarrassing to see our manager and players wildly celebrating coming 4th. Shows how far we've fallen in ambition. #Arsenal
Whilst a lot of us find Piers to be an odious trd, he's spot on with his comments.
What do you guys think? Is mediocrity now acceptable at Arsenal? It's almost a decade since the last league title and 8+ years since the last trophy of any kind. Are you guys happy with the status quo or you want something more?
Your thoughts and comments are welcome

Nothing wrong with what Godleebarnes said.
Don't understand it when the likes of 8bit & Kamran label other people "miserable" and other such tags, just because that said person doesn't agree with their blinkered ways of the world.

How many years have we been saying the same things about Arsenal?
"Ooh this is the summer we break free and sign the players need (or even hold on to our best players)!"
Obviously ever gooner would love for us to step up. But I just can't see it.

When Arsene was asked the other day about signing new players to strengthen the squad, he said something along the lines yes we will strengthen but we have a structure to keep to, which is either a bluff or again he will only pay wages that fall in line with what the club wants to pay and not what the player wants.
Interesting summer ahead

We're paying Walcott 100k p/w and Podolski 85-90k. Times are changing at Arsenal.

I don't understand why people label other people as "blinkered" just because they don't agree with their doom and gloom view of the world.

If you don't get happy when we win and never say anything possible then miserable sounds accurate to me...

Doom and gloom? Really? Is that what one is if he's realistic nowadays?

No. That's what one is if they are doomy and gloomy. Realism doesn't come into it - both sides tend to have a foot in the 'realistic' camp.

What I don't understand is what makes Godleebarnes all doom and gloomy?
