it's pretty funny that the season we will

probably end the trophy drought is the same one we might drop out of the top 4, the two things we never do! That will make it interesting in the AKB vs WOB debates... 'but we always make top 4'. 'fúck top 4 we want trophies', the AKB's and WOB's might have to swap places... that is if Wenger stays anyway

But the point of the article is, why do we care so much about top 4?! I said after the semi final draw was done that as long we win the cup I don't mind losing every league game for the rest of the season, and although I didn't expect us to take that literally, I can't remember caring less when we lose games.

So, why are fans freaking out about us missing out on top 4? WHO CARES? We've been it in every year and we do nothing in it. we play pretty much the same teams all the time, go out at around the same stage every season. it's fúcking boring. Playing in the Europa League against new teams in a competition we can actually win is exciting.

I'm so sick of this media obsession with the top 4, the game is about the glory and as long as we end the season lifting the FA Cup it will be a great season for me, it will end the drought and we can move forwards. Missing out on top 4 won't damage us because we're too stable a club, it seems like fate that we'll finish 5th and win the cup.

We will get top 4 and win the FA cup. Wenger should be given a chance to finish the job with these players. We are close to being the best team in Europe again.

Can you just remind me of when you where the "Best Team in Europe"

Honest question!

This is exactly what makes Wenger a genius, after the disastrous implosion a 4th place finish will now be enough to appease our naive fan base. He has been doing this for years and the fans just keep falling for it.

All one can do is applaud the genius.

Funnily enough we actually may well have been the best team in Europe in the 1930s but certainly haven't been the best at any other time.

Football is all about money. We need to do both. Fourth place trophy is a must for a club like Arsenal at least.

We gone so far now in the FA cup this season, so that would be a huge dissappointment if we fail.

You really find it funny?

And taking poor form and low confidence into ths cup games makes us ripe for beating. Wigan and if we make it past them, whoever we olay in thd final will see us as beatable and play without fear of us.

Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't this so called obsession with top four stemmed from Wenger and his top four trophy?

The teams who are in the semi-finals will without doubt play with no fears No one expect them to go so far.

not really because pretty much everyone laughed when Wenger said top 4 is like a trophy. it comes from the media and Sky being obsessed with the race for the top 4 in the last few years and building it up so much.
