I guess if you're a player Arsenal is about the best place to be in a crisis. No chance of the wages not being paid and every chance of a quick escape route regardless of contractual obligations provided the right offer comes on.Originally Posted by Syn
I reckon I'm about as worried about the future of the club as the players are.
In short:; waiting for us to go through the motions of a terrible season and mass protests to get changes high up.

I don't know. We are crap, but we are still a scalp, teams will look to build their morale with a victory against us, so I expect whoever we are playing to really go for it. Right now, we just don't have the character or morale to deal with this.
People are rightly scared of the prospect of us getting mauled by Chelsea and Spurs. But both games provide an ideal opportunity for us to boost the morale and confidence of our team. We need a result against one or both, otherwise this could be a season that even the perennial pessimists here never saw coming.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
No, we still have enough to avoid relegation for maybe a couple more seasons. I think we'll finish in the bottom 10 but comfortably ahead of the bottom 3. Next season will be the real struggle when RvP is sold and Wilshere goes off the boil in preparation for his move to Utd the year after.

quality-wise we're not that bad I know but it's not quality that worries me. last week I saw Swansea dominate the entire second half at the Emirates. The this week we concede 4 to lowly Blackburn. To me, those are the two worst teams in the league. Who's worse than us atm?

Quality is more than being great at keepie-uppy. It's a package, the technical skill, the mental durability, the attitude, the physical toughness and endurance, the sort of players we used to have but don't have any more. When teams like Swansea can spot our weaknesses and exploit them we know we are short on quality, in terms of trying to compete at this level.

I don't think we'll get embroiled in a relegation battle but I do think we're going to lose a helluva lot of games this season. I think we'll comfortably lose 10 if not more if things don't drastically change.
This team is Europa League at best, forget about CL, we have so much work to do that this season is effectively a write-off.
Nah, think the relegation battle talk is far too premature, I can't even keep a straight face whenever the topic comes up. If we're still in this position at Christmas then yes it's time to really hit the panic buttons. I believe we will patch enough of this shit up to climb the table, but obviously not anywhere near the top 4 and probably not the Europa League either.
It cannot be denied though that our form over the past 20 games or so resembles that of a side who will struggle to avoid relegation. It's very concerning.
how can you say we'll lose just 10 if we have already lost 3 out of 5? are you serious?
