7th coupled with Fa cup failure, will be the jewel in Wenker's crown of capitulations.And it's coming no doubt about it.
I want us to get 4th and win the FA cup, so that he has the opportunity to walk, if we don't get top 4, he is more likely to stay as he will feel he "owes it to the club" and we will be really fucked.

Back in the period between 1997 and 2005 when The Arsenal and the Manc Filth ( :wink: ) fought it out for domination, who would have thought that less than a decade later both clubs would be scrapping it out outside the top 4 in the PL? And all because one club lost their manager and the other fucking held onto their manager! :shock: :roll: :x

To quote the great kevin keegan ( :wink: ), I would fcuking love it if we finished 7th this season - I dont want the club constantly earning money by aiming no higher than 4th, plus I think that the shame of finishing 6th or lower would drive le cock out of our club 8) The problem with finishing outside the top 4 though is the prospect of thursday night football and I dont want that either so 7th would be perfect 8)

I like Arsenal the club and the Arsenal fans, which is why I joined this place. I miss our rivalry, they were great times - there is no rivalry now as we've both fallen a long way.

Thing is, you're coming to the end of Wenger's tenure, Moyes' has just begun :banghead:

People bemoan the Europa League but I would beg to differ, that if we had a new manager coming in with fresh ideas it would actually be a good chance to build some European experience under the radar of the CL. Lets assume it was a younger manager like a Martinez without European experience......it would be a great way to start. A competition we'd have a far greater chance of winning and in the early rounds could probably rotate the squad more than the CL games

I'm so fucking bored with the CL its untrue and its a competition which serves only to reward owner and manager....so a new manager and a fresh chance to win a trophy would be welcomed by me. We have so many games moved to fucking Sunday or Monday anyway who gives a shit

I seriously hope we finish in 7th - I don't want Europa League footy next season. Everton are far better than us this season.

We need a shit load of new players and a new manager.

So you don't want us to win the FA Cup then?? comes with Europa League guarantee. Anyway, I wouldn't mind us in that as we'd have a better chance of winning a European trophy.

To be honest, I don't really care who wins the FA Cup now mate. As long as City and Liverpool can't win it, I'm happy enough.

Oh and Chelsea, fed up of watching their boring finals year after year - so glad they're not in it this time.

It's like the '80's we either finished 4th or 7th. Over the next 50 years the last 16 years of finishing in the top 4 will be regarded as the most consistent period in our clubs history. I think only ManUre have sustained a top 4 finish as consistently as we have across the major leagues in Europe.

Times are a changing as they say.

Money will rule from here on in. Whilst we have our owners and Moyes as manager, we won't achieve fuck all.

But like I said before, we've had our time in the spot light, we've had enough glory to last us a lifetime. My brother-in-law supports Carlisle United and says he'd kill just to see his team play in the Premier League, let alone wins big trophies.

Chelsea and City will dominate next few years I fear. ££££

Until they actually lift the Chumps League trophy this thread will live and thrive right here!
OK so now there is now the possibility to not only win the4 cl and dump the 4th spott into th europa's but now they have the chance of catching us for 4th or 5th if Everton maintain their run of form !

This thread will end in tears !

We won't finish 4th, or win the CL. We'll get embarrassed by Bayern tomorrow and Everton, Southampton etc will take points from us.

Your time for laughing at Man Utd is certainly here!

I'll be honest here.....prior to the arrival of GG and then in the early premier league era, I used to almost gain more satisfaction from rival teams losses than I did from our own victories. It was horribly small time and I know that but during those times we were not genuine challengers for the league so I took my enjoyment where I could get it :oops:

Nowadays, because of the early GG and early wenker years, I have loftier ambitions for my club - laughing at our rivals is the added bonus for me but these bonuses can only be enjoyed when our own club does not have worries/problems of our own to contend with. Sadly I am in total despair when I think of another two or three years of wenker so your "demise" is of no relevence to me right now (although I would find it amusing of ferguscum was still there during this demise :lol: )

It'll be the no-hoper league for these :censored: next season, Mandzukic,Muller and Robben have dumped them out 3-1 so far, 4-2Agg.

Best bit is that spawny :censored: Evra scored first but 60secs later he loses Mandzukic 1-1, then he lets Robben cross the ball in, Muller 2-1 then the useless :censored: :censored: doesn't tackle Robben properly 3-1 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Twas MEN against pathetic old :censored: :lol: :lol:

We'll probably be joining them in the Europa though :lol: :cry: :oops:
