As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
I hope we do lose the extra place; Wenger would have conniptions. He would probably stare incredulously as, after finishing fourth, was told it's no longer a trophy and won't grant him access to the cup he'll never, ever win anyway.
Goes to show really why it's seen as a 'success' not only getting into the group stage each time, but then also getting out of them into the last 16, because of those crucial 4 points that help ensure you can reach the same position year after year by maintaining 4 teams from your country.
You only pick up a further 1 point each for getting quarters, semis and final. That should be adjusted, Arsenal have surfed that wave for too long in all honesty.
