I know this article has been done to death but now we're in a situation where although both are still in our hands it's very possible that we could end up with neither.
So looking at where we are now if we could have just one would it be 4th spot or the FA cup?
Top 4 v Trophy

I think the only saving grace we may have is that he has a partnership with Mert that he probably won't top anywhere else

You'll end up in the Europa though won't that have a bigger impact onyour squad next season?

Yeah that's what I think kneerash. No offence as Liverpool have done great this season, but with the added amount of EL games you get, if you'd been in it you'd probably be doing similar to Spurs.
It just gives you so much more scope for injuries and fatigue that you really need a strong squad.

Koscielny was the first name that popped into my head

no CL football he would be gone imho, bayern, barca, psg to name a few. The players that would stay are Jenks, Gibbs, Shezza, Flamini, Arteta, Rosicky, Ramsey & Jack maybe.

Yeah it's certainly helped us this season but we knew going into the season we'd no Europe so the squad size reflects that.
We need to buy 3-4 quality players IMO in the summer, goign to have to spend up to 60-80 million to really be able to compete in league and CL as I don't think Aspas and a few others are good enough.
It's going to be a massive summer for us, we've got into the top 4 now but to stay there we need investment. Only my opinion but I think it's been the owners idea all along, to try get into the cl without massive investment and once we get in then I can see us spending a good chunk this summer. We've done well on the commercial side over the past 2 years and with added CL TV revenue hopefully we see some good players come in.
As fo rArsenal I still think you'll get 4th at least and the FA cup. For me being a fan is about the memories, like Gerrards goal in in the 06 FA cup final will stick with me forever, that's what you want as a fan so if I was an Arsenal fan I'd love the FA cup this year and you've had to play several big teams to get to where you are which makes it all the better.

The only way we'll end up with no European football at all is if we finish below 5th AND not win the FA cup.
europa league will be more competitive next season as teams will actually want to win it as the winners from next year get CL

Oh yeah FrimBoue, my bad
Point is a side like Arsenal should be going far in EL which is a lot of games. Would only hinder us more than CL

What about Ozil? I'm sure no CL would be the perfect excuse for him to put in a transfer request.

I always used to think that getting into the CL was waaay more important than winning the FA Cup but it really isn't. CL is a money earner but we really don't need more money so us being also rans in the comp is now a truly pointless exercise.

FA CUP 1,000,000%!
If we balls the FA Cup from here I actually dont know what I will do. Atleast if we fall out of the top 4 it will be because of city,everton etc... but to lose the fa cup to wigan, hull or Sheffield United would be absolutely soul destroying.
Of course id rather we got both
