I'm against the contract renewal. Pretty strongly so.

However, I've been saying for years, I'll take a real trophy over his fourth place one.

I remember growing up in Calgary and only ever seeing two live English games a year; the Milk Cup and the FA Cup. Seeing Arsenal win the FA Cup in 79, the year I met Pat Jennings made me an Arsenal fan for life.

Football should be about winning trophies and competing for them. When money gets involved, that often gets lost, and the English game has seen that more than most. So I'll take Saturday over being a league also-ran and remember how I felt as a 10 year old when my team and my new hero won the Cup.
