Match reaction v Brighton

[Chippy]

Maybe he deserves till Christmas.
It has been overall a good end to the season.
MO mentioned this taking arbitrary sections of a season, and I agree that flawed and the season has as a whole been a mess. But in theory the end of the season is more relevant than the start and could be a better indication of where we are.
I wouldn’t mind if someone better comes along but it sounds like we are stuck with Arteta so I guess we’ll have to see how we start next year.

I believe Arteta is relieved we did not get European Pub Football. We can purely concentrate on domestic competitions now.

He should be relieved he's still in his job after such a miserable season, i don't know why you're all giving the guy such an easy ride

I would have grinned and bared the EL again but I’m delighted we didn’t qualify for that farmers cup.

The calendar has basically been non-stop for 12 months since the restart if you consider the Euro’s too. A lighter schedule next season will be welcome but we must make the most of it.

I had a look at that thing which Spurs qualified for.
It does sound bloody awful.
Glad we didn’t qualify for it.

From what I gather the spuds will have to play more games than they did to qualify for the Europa group stages this year though is does give some consolation that we've now done it to them two years in a row

[Marc Overmars]

It is possibly an extra 17 games should you get to the final.

Absolute nonsense for a made up trophy designed to give farmers a taste of European football. We’ve dodged a bullet.

i agree

i was really pissed off yesterday though, that we were so close to being above spuds, plus it was them that kept us out of Europe for the first time in 25 years or whatever, but still it's true that being in the conference would be a complete pain and so good luck to them.

without K**t they're already going to struggle and the extra games won't help

[I am invisible]

I guess it adds a certain amount of jeopardy for anyone hovering around 6th-10th? You can't just be casually shit now and treat yourself to a year out of Europe to reset - there's a serious landmine in there now if you don't put the effort in!

Like yourself and many other Gooners, I was really annoyed when the table changed at 4.45 (The writing was on the wall at 2-2 because Leicester were going to push forward for the win).
However, on reflection, I am very glad that they got the Europa Pub Trophy to contend with, as Letters pointed out, it could be an extra 17 games.

I am happy that St Totterings Day is on ice until next year!

We kept ourselves out of Europe by being rubbish for the majority of the season. Couldn’t care less about Spurs or St Totts day when the only bragging right is “haha we’re slightly less shit than you”.
