Herb...I hear you...and I'm of the same mindset to a degree.....

If dropping out of top four meant a fresh change then I'm all for it but I also want us to keep our best players which IMO does to an extent hinge on us credibly challenging for the title or at the very least securing a top four finish.

For what it is worth, I don't think we have what it takes to properly challenge for the title, this team doesn't have the mentality. Even if Chelsea collapse I don't expect us to take the initiative....it will be one of the other teams.

The point of having these type of players is that they can help you win titles. If it's to be believed that Sanchez and Ozil's futures are tied to Wenger's future and they want assurances of him staying before signing.....wouldn't it be better to just let them go. No one is irreplaceable.

Our next away game in the PL is at Stamford Bridge, no-one apart from fans like Ty actually believe we have a chance of winning there so then what are these players for?

[Marc Overmars]

This is what we've been doing all season, comfortably dispatching the pub teams. It's the bare minimum.

Burnley and Watford at home next, another 6 points in the bank then it's Chelsea away. Lets see if anything has changed.

If and it's a big IF they are tied to Wenger's future then they can go and we should rebuild properly with a new man in charge.

The point I was trying to make and the ideal scenario would be for us to finish top 4, keep hold of Ozil and Sanchez and Wenger leave. Everybody would be happy then

Yeah I hear you on the next away game and having these two, the issue isn't them but Wenger.

I just don't see how Wenger will go unless we finish outside the top four, if the table looked in May like it looks today he will think in his own mind we were in contention all the way because 2nd and 3rd are only one point above us.

Pretty much.

[AFC Leveller]

starting off slowly against the lesser sides we might get away with but if you do that at Chelsea, Liverpool or even Spuds this season then you're 2-3 down in the opening 30 minutes. We have to fix up and start games on the front foot, play to our strengths and move the ball quicker.

If we go to Chelsea and sit back and give the ball away every two minutes, we're fucked.

Funnily enough, we've started well against all the tough opponents this season, with the exception of United where we stunk for the full 90 mins. Took the lead against Spurs, Liverpool, Everton and City only to choke with incredibly poor second half performances.

There is no rhyme or reason to this. We'll drop points at any given moment and against any team.

On a side note, any news on Giroud's injury?
