Given the choice, every club would rather get the CL spot.
But question for arsenal supporters. Just for argument's sake for one (and only one) season 4 years ago you dropped out of the CL spots but won the league cup, would you take it?
Just to have won something.
>>you have one of the highest wage bills in the league
not anymore

Well yes but only if we got into the Champions League the next season. But that's easy to say from a hypothetical perspective because in reality, as it's been shown, once you drop out of the top 4, it is incredibly hard to get back in.
Thats why last season I didn't care about getting a trophy - we had a horrendous start to the season and all I cared about was getting a CL spot. Normally I would care, but last season, it was imperative to get a place in the top 4 more than anything and when it looked impossible, we managed to get 3rd in the end. So the players and Wenger do deserve credit for that in the end, but it was slightly disappointing to not win anything still.
But that disastrous start to the season can't happen again - this season my expectations are to win a trophy whilst maintaining Champions League status. Anything less and I wouldn't consider it a good season.
Think opposition fans go on about this 7 year trophy drought too much tbh. other clubs have gone 20-30 years without a trophy before including united pool and chelsea. and also arsenal
this is a small trophy draught compared to some.
also how many clubs are there really that win a trophy every season. a small %. i think the majority of teams are aiming to make money and that means finishing as high as they can

Now come on... How many other teams have had access to the champions league riches, and I mean considerable riches that Arsenal have had, yet experience this kind of trophy drought?
haha "considerable riches" what an odd turn of phrase
WE had to finance a stadium move mate... how's yours coming along?
So the stadium has cost you in terms of trophies?
What is it you're trying to say?
