this season was supposed to be about the epl not fourth place.just seeing how empty the Emirates was yesterday I expect it to be even worse in the upcoming games.wenger blew it in the transfer market, I think that in itself shows how we lacked ambition and we settled for a top four from the beginning and if by a chance we managed to win epl then thats it.lossing some games, crucial points and the feedback we got back was just covering the real goals of the club top four.soton home (a team challenging has to win this game), Crystal palace, swansea, just add those points and see where we could and should hve been.everyone here is a die hard arsenal fan whether an akb or aob but fact remains we love the club, we want the club to move forward, we want the club to be a superhouse, its got nothing to do with wengers last year or his last chance of epl.this sort of thinking is running our beloved club to the ground.whether u like it or not a change is needed and a serious one.at the moment we hve so many bogey teams do u think arsene will beat them nxt season!!!

@Nothing Changed i agree about 5 years ago, personally i'm finding our game exiting to watch with a strong belief that no mater what the score is we will win the game, obviously we don't win every game but the belief is there for me and i'm enjoying watching more then last season, we have to except that some teams in Europe are almost impossible to catch and City is coming close to that point of dominating years to come and only Man - U or Chelsea could muster up a small challenge, sad but unfortunately we have to face up to reality.
