Just noticed that Bayern Munich have finish third and therefore have to go into the Champions League Play Off round. Decided to have a look at which other teams we could potentially get, it doesnt make for good reading...
The following teams are guaranteed to be in the playoff round next year.
Bayern Munich / Lyon / Villerreal / Udinese or Lazio
The below teams have qualified for the UCL but have to play an earlier qualifier against teams from "lesser" leagues before making it to the play off round.
Benfica / Celtic / CSKA Moscow / Dynamo Kyiv / FC Twente / Fenerbache / Panathinaikos
Quite a few potential banana skins there..... so glad any potential UEFA Cup games will be covered by season ticket

I would expect us to do either of the Italians but BM & Lyon have had disappointing seasons and i would expect to strengthen. If we dont do the same we could struggle against those.
Kyiv and Russia after a pre season tour of Asia wouldnt be ideal either.
I cant believe that I am looking at the prospect of finishing fourth when it looked like we would run UTd so close.
I am fucking pissed off that we have to play a qualifier. Means we lose yet another cup credit for a avoidable fuck up by the gutless *word censored* that play for our club.
There fuck ups end up costing us and I would rather put needles in my eyes than go to Champions league games. Bunch of fucking *word censored*
Fuck you Arsene you cretin and fuck most of the squad
Getting knocked out at this stage could be the wake up call the board needs. I personally couldn't give a shit, cos we aren't capable of winning it, but it would hit the board where it hurts.

If we get knocked out we will have to play on Thursday nights and I will lose even more credits!

Its a fucking disgrace that we will probably finish 4th,and i for one dont fancy the prospect of thursday football in Europa cup,fucking wake up Arsenal.
Yeah 4th it is. City will win the last 2 games, they'll be buzzing. Who cares anyway? We can't fucking win the thing, we get in it every year and Wenger claims its success. Fuck off. Its onyl worth it if you actually challenge for it. Chelsea,United,Liverpool, these teams always hit the semi-finals etc when they're in it. We limp about and get beaten by teams who are shit. Then get beaten by a top draw side in the knockout games.
Until serious money is invested the CL is just another chance for me to get annoyed when we get knocked out.

if those wankers who were on the pitch yesterday really cared,they would have put in the effort..THEY DIDNT.
The fans care..the players with only a few exceptions..DONT.
