    Society is now one polished horde
    Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.

    "After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."

    67% of us being top 4

    What kind of model is that? We have been top 4 for how many consecutive seasons now? And somehow this model reckons there's only 67% chance of that outcome? Not only that, but there has to be a huge amount of subjective weighting in that model. Suspensions, injuries, ref decisions, fixture fatigue, extra matches from cup runs. So there should be a higher reliance on established fact, such as the fact we are always top 4. Also we have strengthened, so there's an even higher probability of a top 4 spot. That model is statistics gone bad.

    Best player: Aaron Ramsey
    Most improved player: Giroud

    Most have had us down for 5th for many years now.

    You get the feeling there will be huge jolly up amongst the haters the day we finish outside the top 4.

    When we don't spend any money = Arsenal are going to finish out of the top four for certain this year!

    When we spend money = Arsenal are still going to finish out of the top four for certain this year!

    We haven't finished outside the top 4 since 95-96 under Rioch.

    Trouble is with the sports media in this country so full of ex-players and managers that bias is sure to creep in. Ex-Pool and Spuds pundits are among the worst culprits, some of them are absolutely gagging for Arsenal to do badly.

    Every year they hope that this year is the year.
