March Reaction V Bournemouth Away

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Was saying yesterday this could be the season where we drop out of the top 4. We have 5 teams all capable of hitting 70 points. We dropped out of the CL place last night with that Spurs victory and we've still got to worry about Man Utd who are only 2 points behind us.

Board have waited too long to get rid of Wenger. He's not ready for this level of competition.

I could be made to eat my words but Wenger always seems to get top four, when it comes to this non achievement he is unsurpassed.....it's like when we are struggling for the top four suddenly the performances are strong, the mentality is strong and the wins happen. Because this is the only thing he is under pressure to achieve.


That said frankly, i think most of us would take not finishing in the top four if it meant Wenger would walk (and I say walk because I don't see any circumstances under which the board would get rid of him). That's not to say I hope we finish outside the top four, I just could see the silver lining if we did.

We will finish at worst 4th, that I have no doubt. It's the one source of pride Wenger still has and I doubt he's giving that up without a fight.

I would 100% take a year out of the CL if it meant Wenger leaving. Is it really that bad anyway? What if it meant being fresh for a title challenge the following year like Chelsea are now? The top 4 is interchangeable these days and not a lock like it was several years ago. I doubt we'd be out in the wilderness for the foreseeable future if we missed out this year.

Me too, but I wouldn't really want Europa League though.

I would take a year out of Europe if it meant a change of manager and a decent crack at the league.

Me too.

I think we are destined to lose one if not both of Sanchez and Ozil regardless of whether we get top 4 or not. A season out of Europe rebuilding the team could well be a good thing.

Finally, Arsenal gets tough with these pampered players!

You realise that isn't Arsenal's plane, right?

It's just one in the emirates fleet. They've got one with PSG players, one with Madrid players...

It's an A380. You can't even land those at small airports.

Seriously? Wenger spending a billion quid on a plane? Yes, I get the club doesn't own the plane.

What I'm wondering isn't when something is coming back the fans' way? We already know the execs and players enjoy all the trappings and trimmings. Not bad at all for a no-title, embarrass me in the CL bunch.

Should they not be travelling by car ferry? Alexis probably runs and swims to the away games anyway. But I'm sure the always injured Gibbs or the can't be bothered turning up Theo will enjoy the luxury option.
