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 League pots are arranged for the draw now only give precedence to the Champions
of each country, and Arsene Wenger's comments reported by Sky Sports this week are intended to make sure that this pride should be taken with a
large pinch of salt.
