Crap defending mainly. And lack of any quality, but it'll be OK 2017-18 because The Chels will be gracing Europe.

Meanwhile good luck to Leicester...

English teams play without break for ages. And no one complained when we were ruling the europe.

As you said, its lack of quality why english teams are so poor these days, not tiredness.

Also switch to continental way of playing football isnt helping either. English teams should play the english football. Not nice on the eye, but it gets the job done and avoids humiliations in europe.

Damn, I overrated this arsenal side. Without carzola in midfield, they’re sh*t

We need to be like West Brom with corners! 

In a way feel sorry for him with the banners especially as so many will forget they wanted him out should they finish top 4 seeing as that's their trophy. Funny how after they beat Lincoln it was oooo they're back...ermm not really!

Woopsie!!

Karma is a bitch for all the Arsenal fans making fun of Chelsea last season. Say what you will, but we never flew two conflicting banners at an away match

Losing is not the end of world to Arsenal. They have a manager who's lost it. Their squad has been conditioned to a climate of mediocrity.

Any PL manager with a front line consisting of Giroud, Welbeck, Perez, Sanchez, Iwobi, Ozil, Ramsey, Walcott, Oxlade has no reason to complain about firepower. A better manager would squeeze a lot more out of that big group of players. But he would have to get rid of the stench of being second-best first. No easy task.

Long may Arsene's reign last.

I've never been a fan of the emphasis on possession. Yes, it can show who "controlled" the match, but in most of the matches last season, we had more possession and couldn't do anything with it.

People want pretty football, and I get it. It'd be great to watch pretty football every weekend while winning trophies. I guess I'll just shed a tear for "playing ugly" while looking at this

That's the thing yeah it's a nice stat but means sod all at the end! Think the fans now moving away now from the pretty football argument..was kinda pretty from our point of view anyway :-D 

Yeah exactly! Mostly this season it ain't been pretty just shit! Getting slating on sky and agree with what they're saying..makes a change

I'd laugh if the announcement is he's deciding to stay..everyone must know for definite surely just a matter of it coming out. Sooner says it guess sooner the banner and planes can stop

[kmk108 1,186]

There's some that think he's resigning and is just waiting for a win to reveal it.

Anyone who's a fan of Withnail and I will be a little surprised that Danny is now a gooner but is still definitely still smoking the Camberwell Carrots

If we win the title and FA Cup, we're only 6 major trophies behind Arsenal. Should overtake them and become the 3rd most successful team in England in the next decade.
