Arsenal have been like this for years, it's rather more worrying we've caught up to them in less time. Arsenal went from Champions to top 4 to team struggling for top 4 over the course of 15 years, we've gone from Champions to team struggling for top 4 in 5 years.It's all the one. 2 broken clubs.
Do we have to start the Europa league earlier or can we qualify 5th and start later than Arsenal ?[/QUOTE. Given how shit we have been, we could still finish fifth. Even if we don't, if Citeh win the FA Cup, we will still avoid the EFL qualifiers.
That would probably be the best scenario, however, part of me really hopes we don't. Then this bunch of lazy, uninspired fuds masquerading as Manchester United players will have to cut short their holidays and the plans for the Pre season tour are screwed.
Maybe then the parasites that own this club will be prompted to F#&K off.
Leno's been alright in fairness, back to his early days at Leverkusen.Emery though seemingly brought in an upgrade in GK in Leno, an upgrade to the defence in Sokratis and an upgrade to the midfield in Torreira
Where's it got them?
The kids will come in like they did against Watford last year and put a little smile on our faces.I wouldn't bet on it, our players have thrown in the towel
Can see both sides drawing or even loosing
Koscielny’s been one of the great Arsenal players - as has Monreal - but without an owner committing to winning the team’s not likely to go anywhere further.. Koscienly remains their best CB but is just old now and injured often.
Technically, I support Grimsby Town, I used to have a season ticket when I was younger, but I don't really care what happens to them now. I just watch football because I like sport.I see on your bio you claim you don't support a club so not posting with United spectacles but pretty sure Arsenal have still finished above Man. United in most of the seasons since Fergie retired. Could still do it this season not that it will matter much.
How can you forget?If Arsenal win the Europa League this season, will they be in the CL next? Does anyone get bumped? Eventhough this scenario happened to Utd, I forgot what happened...
Like I forgot who got bumped and such.How can you forget?
They will be in. No one bumped.If Arsenal win the Europa League this season, will they be in the CL next? Does anyone get bumped? Eventhough this scenario happened to Utd, I forgot what happened...
The same that happened when 6th placed Manchester United won the europa league in 16/17.Like I forgot who got bumped and such.
This season, Chelsea are in the top 4 but also in contention for the Europa League. Arsenal are not in the Top 4 but also in contention for Europa League. What happens in each scenario if either wins it?
How can you forget? It was two years ago pal.Like I forgot who got bumped and such.
This season, Chelsea are in the top 4 but also in contention for the Europa League. Arsenal are not in the Top 4 but also in contention for Europa League. What happens in each scenario if either wins it?
Chelsea are in CL anyway and if Arsenal win EL they'll be the 5th English team in CL. It's more important for Arsenal than Chelsea at the moment.Like I forgot who got bumped and such.

Ah ok... Thanks.Chelsea are in CL anyway and if Arsenal win EL they'll be the 5th English team in CL. It's more important for Arsenal than Chelsea at the moment.
Do you mean their current keeper?Wierd fact of football: I was in the same year at School as Grimsby's first choice keeper.
Agree on your general point. Football was more innocent and fun in the 90s. Grimsby were in division one in those days and played a few times at Wembley IIRC.
Yes James McKeown. He grew up in Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands and went to same school (Darius Vassell and Cat Deeley also went a few years before). He was on Walsall's books as youth keeper.Do you mean their current keeper?
Yeah, I think I already knew that the Wembley season was as good as it was going to get. Back then, we could keep our players. When we were promoted out of the National League to the Football League a few years ago, when we began the next season virtually only the goalkeeper was left from the previous campaign.
Maybe because they do, more than they dontYou're only as good as your players. Wenger or Emery, it doesn't matter. Their team looks average on paper and gets average results. There's nothing surprising about it anymore.
It's the same with us but for some reason people can look at at team with the likes of Young, Jones, Lindelof, Lingard, Shaw, Fred, McTominay etc and expect it to win any PL game.
There was no kids vs Watford.The kids will come in like they did against Watford last year and put a little smile on our faces.
Sorry, I meant against Palace last day two years ago. Harrop, Scott, Mitchel, Tuanzebe, TFM, Gomes and a few more I think.There was no kids vs Watford.
Yes that was the one. Before the EL final.Sorry, I meant against Palace last day two years ago. Harrop, Scott, Mitchel, Tuanzebe, TFM, Gomes and a few more I think.
We went to that in one season. The failure of a giant club isn't a slow process like turning round an oil tanker. It's more like putting a radical National Union of Students president in charge of the country. Things go to shit immediately. Now we need an acute tyrannical dictator.Arsenal have been like this for years, it's rather more worrying we've caught up to them in less time. Arsenal went from Champions to top 4 to team struggling for top 4 over the course of 15 years, we've gone from Champions to team struggling for top 4 in 5 years.
Silver lining is that we have more money but it doesn't look like we'll spend wisely.
Stan Kroenke is slowly killing Arsenal. It is sad to see but nothing you can do about it.You're only as good as your players. Wenger or Emery, it doesn't matter. Their team looks average on paper and gets average results. There's nothing surprising about it anymore.

Emery has never had a good away games record. Going forward, that's a concern for them. If it wasn't for that, they would be comfortably 3rd this season.If Arsenal can win the EL it's a very good season for them. They royally fecked up not getting top 4, can't really believe they managed it but they have played some good stuff with Emery who seems to suit them.
They need some signings of course but they look much better a year on from Wenger than we did a year on from SAF.
Yes, and that’s with us being fantastically shite at times.We finished behind these tossers at the end of the day. Shameless.
