We've matched our points total from last season. 7 games left.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
We’ve been slowly edging our way in that direction all season. Emery has been harshly judged way too quickly when we had a difficult month. But as I said, he’s getting it because fans are still pissed off about the latter half of Wenger’s reign and our ownership. I didn’t think we’d get top 4 this season, so he’s surpassing my expectations so far.
My benchmark for him this year was to challenge for top 4.
He’s doing that so I think he’s done well enough for this season.
Not sure what to expect next year.
With our owner I’m not sure how much is realistic.
He's squeezing everything he can from this squad and it still might not be enough to get us over the line given how tight everything is at the moment. Good to be back in the frame though having something to play for during the run-in, last year was a real shit show so well done to Emery for the quick turnaround.
Our away form hasn't seen as much improvement however, so hopefully that picks up ASAP, as that is essentially the key to qualifying for the CL.

I actually think our improvement away from home is the reason we are in contention - we’ve always had a a good home record. Last year we lost 11 times away. We’ve played a few less than the others, so the next few away games will give us a better reading
That’s one way of taking away the context.
