That's my point. Why are we top 4? I'm inclined to believe that after changing stadiums, selling all our best players, and relying on 19 year olds. The fact that we are a top 4 team only serves to cement the fact that Wenger isn't just a standard manager maintaining a top 4 status quo. The fact that we are still top 4 is an achievement in of itself based off the challenges. And at least we're consistent, unlike Man Utd and Chelsea, who're both doing what Arsenal haven't done for nearly 20 years. Why? Because we have the best manager in the world, ever. Better than Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Jose Mourinho combined.

If someone finished in the top 4 of the F1 grid every year for 20 years while the entire field changes around them, I don't think people would say that's just to be expected. Why is it just expected that Arsenal finish top 4? If a team won the league 20 years in a row would that somehow nullify the achievement just because it's been consistently achieved?

Im out.

Btw the top four argument is a good argument. Both for and against though. One hand he's done well to keep them there as you can see with the likes of us, United and now Chelsea this year it's not that easy of a job. But on the other hand he should have won some more in the past 10 years, and getting just top 4 isn't good enough.

Pep's come out and said the reason he's not renewing his contract is cause he wants to manage in the Premier League..

Fucking hell people say Newcastle fans are dramatic.

Got to say, they deserve to go down. I know I say this a lot, but they have some absolute tossers of fans. And a big majority of them. Went to a couple Villa games last year and the impatience and stuck upness (couldn't think of a better word and it's late), is so annoying. For some reason they believe they should be playing some Barca style football, behave.

Not being funny though, I reckon my mum could take that Real Madrid side to third and she'd probably bench Ronaldo just so she could sit next to him.

But that's always going to happen at Madrid/Barca, people moan about BPL losing quality, but there's about 5 good teams in BBVA, the rest is garbage.
He did also win the CL group easily (although again an easy group), only thing that went wrong is that 4-0 against Barca.
It's probably the worst job in football.

Kind of fear the likes of Barcelona or Madrid will take notice over the next 18-24 months if he continues in that vein.

Coutinho's match plan:

- Blast one from 35 yards
- Rinse & repeat

Corrected.

He's amazing to watch when he's on song but when he's like this he's fucking awful.

We were shit tonight. Considering how much "quality" there supposedly is in Firmino, Coutinho, Can etc they fucking lost the ball over and over. Benteke was decent but we're just not playing to his strengths, so frustrating to watch. I don't even mean drilling in crosses cause he was shit in the air tonight, but just fucking play it to him rather than Coutinho trying to force it into the middle through a crowd and then having a shot every time.

Fucking had Benteke at 11/1 to score 2, so how the fuck did he miss the one on one. Prick.

I do find the annual cycle of Arsenal fans as amusing as the famous Scouse boom-bust cycle.

Its gone something like this over recent times:

Start of the transfer window:
Bullish, ended the season strongly, looks like the teams finally getting there, and if only Wenger added one or two of the right players you'd surely win the league.
End of the transfer window:
Wenger's only signing has been a 13 year old prodigy from Djibouti, the teams been booed off the pitch in 3 games by now, including a pre-season friendly.
Christmas:
The fans are universally positive, the anger from the start of the season has been forgotten, they once again have the best players in the league.
End of the Season:
They fail to get over the line, despite playing well for most of the season a complete melt down where they drop 9 points in two games after being knocked out of the Champions League by a team whose acronym is 'FCB' means most of the fanbase want Wenger out, yet they rally to end the season in the Champions League places. They either win the FA Cup, or they don't, no one really cares anyway, and we start again.

The irritating thing for Arsenal fans is surely that if they had bought in the summer they'd be walking the league this season.

Pretty much spot on, Arsenal were going to win the league in August which turned to Wenger out by October.

Think I dislike their fans most out of all the options, nearly all of them are such smug bastards and actually know fuck all about football (the guys on this forum are alright though)

But who am I to talk, I was more excited than a kid on Christmas day when we smashed City and Chelsea and told my mate we're gonna win the league..

Arsenal will have their mid-season collapse for sure but looks like they've built themselves enough lead to maybe get over that. Leicester will be up there though (everyone's doubting them and has been doubting them all season and look where that's gone)
