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.
Let's be honest, the race for 4th is where it's at. Again. Realistically we should be there already, and will be when City win their two games in hand. Plus the vermin will be just six points behind when they beat Cardiff tomorrow.
If we lose at the shithole then 4th place will be a real scrap (again) - I know most of us never felt we were genuine challengers anyway, but for those that did (and even for some who didn't), dropping to the point that we may not even get top 4 must leave them in a state of absolute bewilderment
I see they had a similar poll on pravda it was just for the 4games in march though. I picked 0-3 pts and doubled it from 1% to 2% I was amazed at how many had picked over 9pts fuck me the delusion amongst some of our fans is unbelievable.

To be fair, I suppose that most here just enjoyed the fact that it was a slightly different script, even if it ends the same. It was certainly different at the Emirates although even then, most people still want Wenger to walk at the end of the year.
The biggest kick in the teeth is that Liverpool (yes - I know that they do not play in Europe) are challenging for the title and will probably leave us in the dust. Considering the resources that they have, this shouldn't be happening. They just have a better manager who knows how to think tactically on his feet.
We will end up doing basically bare minimum to get CL qualification as we have for years now. Only difference is our good form came in the first 3 months and not the last 3.
No doubt there will be hordes of people in the summer claiming we were just a little bit short and Wenger will have acknowledged his mistake in not signing another striker and will set that right this year. News flash - last summer was the perfect chance. Upheaval with top 3 changing their manag do it in his way.ers, for the first time in years none of our key players were being courted, obvious where we needed to strengthen and we had a bucketload of cash. And Wenger fucked it. And he will continue to fuck it because to him it's not worth winning unless he can
Still at least we had the 2013 calendar year trophy.
