Twohundredpercent gets it spot on amidst the rush to conduct an inquest after Arsenal’s Champions League exit on Tuesday

You’ve won the double. You became the first team since Preston North End in 1888 to go a whole season unbeaten in the league. You got to the European Cup final. Your club build you a magnificent 60,000 capacity stadium for a fraction of the cost that Wembley was built for or the cost that is projected for the new Liverpool stadium. Your club has a manageable debt, to the extent that it is perfectly plausible to argue that all you have to do is wait, because in ten years you might just be the only English candidates still standing. Everyone (even, grudgingly, your enemies) purrs when your team plays. You are probably the luckiest supporters in England. All you have to do is be patient, and it will come. It might be next year, or it might take five years, but it will come.

The Cure To All Woes

Getting a season ticket at Arsenal in ’97 is just about the luckiest thing that has happened to me. I’m not giving it up.
