Keep the faith in Wenger...

I know it's frustrating to not win anything for 6 yrs but lets not forget how much we spend each season as compared to other clubs in the league. I know our priority should be to win the league but in a scenario as complicated as todays, where the competition is so tough and to add to that our limited spending, we should appreciate Wenger for what he has done for our club and where he has taken us from what we were when he took over the reigns. When we won our first double under him in 2002, apart from 2 players in the form of Bergkamp and Adams I think, every other played who was a part of that squad was brought in by the man himself who nurtured them and led us to our golden era. Not to forget our 49 games unbeaten run which left our rivals dazed and fans enthralled and mesmerized by the French genuis.

Yes, the time has changed and we have been on a poor run in the last few years... but compare our side to the likes of United, Chelsea, Pool and City and inspite of facing a wolley of injury woes, we have challenged for the title this season and have been doing well in the Champs league in the last few years. Yes, nothing can replace the joy and the expectations of winning silverware but what I'm saying is that we need to have patience with the man who has done so much for this great club. When we were facing an exodus of sorts when most of our key players left us for better opportunities including the talisman Theirry Henry, there was one man who stood by this club and gave it his all inspite of lucrative offers from top Europen clubs and the French national team. After serving us selflessly for 14 long years when he's facing a bad patch and even when he's urging us fans to have faith in his transfer policies and has even hinted on spending this time, we need to be firmly behind him and keep the faith.
