If only Sanogo and Chamakh were still playing for them too…

The problem with Palace is

Yeah, that and Leeds fans banging on about being a big club but not winning anything in 25 years and being a permanent fixture in Div 2 means Utd are still winning.

Imagine if he announced his new contract in the post match interview

Not qualifying for Europe is still a trophy.

DISCLAIMER: There is still literally no chance of them not finishing fourth

Nah they aren’t catching any of the top four, Liverpool have the easiest run by far and without wanting to awake sir anti bants City won’t finish fifth.

Honestly reckon even Utd might beat them to fifth

Genuinely think they’re more likely to finish 7th than 5th

It’s really weird how completely hopeless Arsenal look. The state of the players that’ve played far too many games over the last ten years as they’ve consistently finished in the top 4 - it’s only really Coquelin now that looks as hapless as some of those. Plus - Sanchez, Ozil and that. Mad.

On those grounds I suppose Wenger has a lot to answer for, this season.

*Think part of it is just that Arsenal have really just been standing still for his stewardship, in the Emirates era at least - and them finally dropping out of the top four suggests a league that’s improving. Now there’s an influx of world class coaches competing at his level, and lower, more cash and just generally better coaching. Gone are the days that the likes of Moyes, Owen Coyle, Phil Brown, Gary Megson can tread water

Best league in the world!

Arsene Wig? nah!

Thought our first half was largely okay, expected us to improve in the second half and maybe get an early goal.

We did not improve in the second half. It’s difficult to actually pinpoint what we weren’t doing right in that game though (assuming we were never gonna play any sort of flowing football due to the state of the pitch). We just always seem to be second to every ball and lose the majority of duels, which is a consistent theme for most of this season. When we win, we win in spite of this, so it’s always a sort of uphill battle. It’s just weird cos we don’t generally lack athleticism or power in our XI.

Anyway, don’t know how Arsene can see that performance and the subsequent fan reaction and think there’s a reasonable case for staying. The whole situation is becoming pretty farcical.

Oh it’s about time they gave someone else a chance to crash out in January anyway

he absolutely must have told the players whether he’d be signing a new contract or not, right? there’s no way he didn’t do that.

lol
