Let's see how we do against Arsenal before we write ourselves off.

If we miss out on top 4 then so be it. I'd rather just concentrate on having a good end of the season and trying to turn around these recent performances, wherever that takes us.

I'm not too fussed about Champions League. I think it is too soon in the squad development and worry that the big boys would tear us apart.

I think Europa would suit the team and especially the manager. Not saying I'd turn it down, but it's not the be all it used to be for me.

I was getting pot shots earlier for saying it’s over - a few hours later and here we are.

People like picking up on the very few occasions I am wrong but miss all the times I am correct

I wasn't that bothered about getting it back although the past couple of weeks in the CL have been pretty great and does kind of make you wish you were involved. Just having some form of Europe is good though. You don't realise how empty the season feels without it until you miss out on Europe, especially if you go out of domestic cups early.

Let’s put a marker down for 4th and add another downer to Arsenal’s season



Can’t wait

Absolutely, 100%

A European knockout game gets the juices flowing whether it’s Real Madrid or Real Sociedad.

The only won I would bin off is the farmers conference as you’re lucky if you play more than one side most people have heard in the comp.

The Europa league is decent though and the format is identical to the CL next year so could be good practice

We will get 10 tops although I think 8 is most likely. I reckon:

Arsenal - Draw
Chelsea - Draw
Liverpool - chastening loss
Burnley - narrow win
City - narrow loss
Sheff U - narrow win

That will see us cement 5th just about and get a Europa spot.

I won’t be upset at all with that

If Ange can perfect our attacking style then we'll be looking really good in European cup competition. Our style will create lots of entertainment. Hopefully more good than bad.

Tbh I’m not that fussed about being in the CL I just don’t like going Spurs on Sundays

Any form of European football will do. Yes the holy grail is CL but it’s not the be all and end all for us right now so anything will do.

And I for one hate the sat/sun and odd weekday games only…. Is so shat not being involved

I get this, but the Friday games are killing me - that’s the worst kick off spot followed by Monday nights.

Europa means far less of those shiete kick off times

We’ve only played four on a Friday this season, two in the FA Cup.

I go to most home games and like to have a few pints post match so much prefer the Saturday games.

Only 4 that represents 10% of this season!!!

I think out of the top seven at the moment only Villa fans are not on a massive downer

We had a 3 ish Mondays as well and will end up playing quite a few midweek. 6pm on a Sunday as well.

We will have lost about 30% of all our weekend games this season - it’s shiete. Sunday lunchtimes aren’t that bad at all.

Europa also means I can get my youngster into more games next year - he will be well chuffed, although I’m sure Levy will rip me off

I don’t think we’re too despondent to be fair. It’s not been a bad season, just not a great one. Weve been entertaining on the few occasions we’ve actually played. Getting back into Europe is a big deal for us and we should get that done from our current position

The Arsenholes have just been dumped out of the CL by Harry Kane's team.
So doubtless they will be out to play their best against us.
Goodbye 4th!
Hope for 5th!

All those wannabe mystic megs have got eggs on their faces now. Fretting over something they have no control over whatsoever.

Man City will do this, Woolwich will do this, Liverpool will do this Z z z. Absolute mugs.

If we are not good enough to come fourth then we are not good enough for the champions league.

Maybe if we set our goals a little higher, like say actually trying to win something, we wouldn’t fall short of fourth worst.

Fourth best. 16th worst. Too early for maths.

18pts to play for. Just hope the team treat every game as a must win. We can definitely do it. The odds were against us during Conte’s first season, no reason we can’t do similar again this season.

We didn’t have to play all of top 3 on that Conte run in, plus go to Stamford bridge where we have won once in 30 years.

We also have a bad record at Sheffield United, we have won 1 of the last 9 at their ground, a record that stretches back to 1990.

By the Burnley game we will be clinging on to 5th for dear life. I think we will just about get over the line for 5th, but we will finish closer to 6th than we will 4th.

Big summer for Ange, we cannot keep conceding at the rate we do, he has to find the balance
