As long as Arsenal now finish the season in the top four, which seems almost certain as we have Aston Villa at home on the final day, the repercussions of us surrendering the long held dominance of north London will be nothing more than bruised pride, because the way the Champions

After Arsenal were forced to accept a

We've seen it before in seasons past and while players like Giroud are more busy acting the goat on the pitch and acting like they have just won the world cup rather than equalizing for a

takes more effort and commitment to win the
league than acheiving a
draw with Bournmouth.
Arsenal are a Big Big
draw for potential managers and I would imagine quite a few will be very keen to restore OUR CLUB to where we should be.Wenger staying well past his due date has made the new managers job so much easier.Whoever
takes over will only have to concentrate on bettering a declining
league position with little or no immediate chance of winning one of the TWO major honours that have been beyond Wenger for years.
We need to concentrate on burnley coz they are in a great form and are hard to beat.I will
take a 1 - 0 win TBH.If we
draw or lose to burnley, surely then we are finished under wenger in terms of consistency in a whole epl season.Considering we are in the latter stages of carabao cup, one of the strong favourites for the europa
league and defending fa cup champions, I guess a cup treble will be a great season and top 4 finish will ice the cake.Finally, this may prove as the platform for better things in the epl next season.

Well your righ with met spend but in amount paid out for players no net were 5th but i agree our champions
league performances have been poor we had some tough
draws and the premier
league is more demanding then the other
leagues in strwnght of competition and games played still excuses do nt win but that monaco loss left me shaking my head in cl we get theough the group but cant muster the strength needed for knockout and we should be performing better were under performing for the talent xhaka has frustrated me hes got the talent and plays well but cant hold focus in games he drops off and loses his marks our academy is doing well but yes it is tougher now to break in to the first team iwobi has done well but one or two seasons away from being there if he does turn himself elite ever has to score or he will just be another ox but i think its been a wake up call to the club we finally have to act theres a wave of ideas to not only get us back to winning ways but become title contenders and i think give him the extension one year its a world cup year and that will also allow our players esp strikers who been very poor this year realized its tough to play in englad and next year will have a better idea what it really
takes to win here shore up some spots and depth and were in contention fail and the changes will happen but let him have one more year the fact were willing to spend shows me an upturn from the decline
Nothing is guaranteed in life, apart from death and Arsenal under Wegner is dead, so win, loose or
draw it makes no difference, I personally don't believe this man has what it
takes to improve the team, and to all those who support him, can you give me any reason (not old news) to believe that he is the man to
take this club forward, because for us to be mentioning crystal palace, west brom, stoke shitty, watford, Southampton and the list goes on, as banana skins for Arsenal, so no disrespect meant to the clubs listed, but historically, those clubs are normally fighting relegation and for any of these clubs to qualify for Europa
league is like Arsenal winning the champions
league (it just does not happen) so are we going forward or are they improving.

Arsenal
take their very first entry into the Europa
League draw after playing in the Champions
League for the last twenty years, so it will be a very unusual season for Gunners fans, especially the ones that like to go to all our European away games.
It would
take a minor miracle for Arsenal to finish this latest round of EPL games on top of the Premier
League race, well it would need Manchester United to win their derby game with Man City while we beat Everton, and if our rivals
draw we would need to put seven past the Toffees to go above City on goal difference.

- Wenger can be so insane to do it.The man is out of this world and complety insane.He can not see what it is obvious for the entire world.To have better players on the bench and to keep favouring the same out - of - form or not good enough players week after week is madness.To play for
draw from the beginning against an awful team which got beaten by the entire
league on a daily bases - this is something unimaginable.It is not Mertesacker fault for being embarrased by any player on the planet, it is the manager fault for exposing him as a laughing point of focus.Wenger must go, the man is deluded, he is scarred to
take any risk for success.Well, guess what - only showing courage and breaking the risk can bring you success.Not the case - I predict a chain of defeats following, with the cherry on top being a big defeat against Spurs - a team which, despite our hate, plays real football (with great results I must say).
