Good afternoon Eds, I'm not sure if this is in your remit but I've read a disturbing article about match fixing. The article hints that the governing bodies of football are out of their depth with the problem. Is there any truth in this please? I appreciate this is not directly Arsenal related so understand if you can't comment.
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you have read. Issues with match fixing crop up now and again in other countries and are harshly dealt with. It is rare anything is suggested in England. It is not the reason Arsenal keep losing.}

Thanks Ed, and I really didn't think that, honestly :)

LOOL! “It’s not the reason arsenal are losingâ€. It is the reason arsenal are losing Ed, how do you not see that!

You make me laugh Ed02. 😀😆😀 With that said guess you still don’t think The Arsenal has improved? I know we still sitting mid table but is there any where you would give some credit?
People like to talk about points different at the end of season and say a team is x points of the the top/ winner. But does it really works like that? Say use West Ham at point for example have they really made us such points different already after finish 58 points behind Liverpool?
{Ed002's Note - There have been mistakes with recruitment of staff, huge mistakes with money spent on some players and little to see a good solution going forward.}

I get your point that’s why I’m a bit reserved for another season or two. These things can’t be changed overnight.

I think we all use what measurement that best suits the point we wish to promote Yard mate.
If we finish the season having scored our fewest goals for 20 years but concede our fewest for 15 years have we improved or gone backwards?
If we finish 9th with one more point than last seasons is evidence of improvement or evidence we've gone backwards?
It's so difficult to not let our feelings sway our judgement be them positive or negative feelings.
