Another wasted year?

As a Gooner, I've almost forgotten how it feels to win something now. For 4 years, we've been fed "growing young team" trash and it seems the team never grows. It's been labeled a young team year after year and by their inconsistent performances, the players seem to believe it themselves.

It's been a so-so season so far, now made worse by Fabregas's injury and 4-month lay off. Rosicky is out till March, Kolo Toure and Walcott are out till whenever, Adebayor is suspended for 2 games at least. Injuries and suspensions are part of the game. Great teams are set up to win inspite of such setbacks. If we only have an excellent side when everyone is fit and available, then we don't have much of a team.

Wenger has transformed the club but he needs to be read the riot act by the Board!

Update: Arsenal could only draw 2-2 with Aston Villa at Villa Park this evening after leading 2-0. We remain 3 points behind the Villans.
