Do you call winning the arsenal trophy (4th spot) a success in the league?

Sounds nice Dazzer but I'd still prefer a scruffy win if needed rather than a beautiful loss.

Pellers won two trophies last season which means he's ahead of schedule. If you look at how we play, and how the younger grades play, it appears the focus is on playing beautiful attacking football. Winning trophies is the by product of said style.
What does that say about our priorities?

FA Cup / Carling Cup would be nice, Champions League would be amazing but as long as we win the league then I am a happy man.

As long as we win it?
We've proven it takes hard work and skill and a bit of luck. If we win it again we are fortunate. Matter until the end in all comps while playing our style is all we can ask for.
And that's what we've been spoiled with for the most part. How lucky are we?
Cheers

Arsenal played the beautiful game for years and won nothing. Keegan had us playing swashbuckling football and we finished 9th(I think) and won nothing, awesome season and I wouldn't trade it for anything, but good football doesn't always mean good results.

When you consider that this is the UAE PR machine I'm not sure that that necessarily matters. Arsenal won nothing for 9 years. Do you think they lost any fans? Do you think they continued to garner support? Arsenal didn't win anything because they didn't invest in players. The chequebook came out last season and wahey, they win a trophy. Beautiful football gains supporters win lose or draw. Beautiful football played by the worlds best players gains supporters and trophies.

Cups are not a priority, just a bonus.
