Arsenal to miss out on top 5

Chelsea have to play forest and newc.

Yeah would be devastating for some if Arsenal’s route back in the Champignons Leagues was as holders!

interesting to see how bored people will be,by end of league phase

It doesn't change the fact that Arsenal had some disgraceful VAR decisions early in the season. The two sending's off for kicking the ball away (especially the Rice one), VAR has not been consistent in applying that throughout the season despite many examples since.

Even in the last match VAR did not disallow Bournemouth's 2nd goal for handball despite it hitting his elbow, siting there wasn't' a conclusive camera angle, even though a rudimentary understanding of physics made in overwhelmingly likely. However they did disallow a Havantz goal earlier this season for handball despite there not being as conclusive camera angle for that either. although tbf I think most fans would rather VAR was not a thing.

AND Arsenal are far less bottlers than most teams in recent seasons. Just rubbish spouted by rival fans masking their own teams failing of not even being able to get into a position to be accused of bottling winning the league.

they were still at on Saturday,instead of been embarrassed by defeat ,they were putting up stills of bnmouth goal wanting a free kick for a push or a handball for the winning goal

as pointed out by me and others at the time,when in Aug.sept arsenal were employing the dark arts,bed wetting about goals, decisions,injuries , giving up their expansive attacking game,only winning the EPL would justify it all,even losing by a point would be disappointing but surrendering in APRIL has been an embarrassment in that context

yeh but 2 of the injuries you were all bed wetting about were havertz who you've been moaning about for 2 seasons and martinelli who since his return has been like he was before his injury, garbage,and the crowd have been booming /moaning about in last 3 home games

You said Arsenal fans, implying the many, whilst Storm has a point in the games mentioned, the biggest problem has been dropped points without our two best players.

Bournemouth 0-2 - lost Saka and Odegaard
Newcastle 0-2  - lost Odegaard
0-1 West Ham - lost Saka, Martinelli, Havertz, Jesus
2-2 Man City - lost Odegaard
2-2 Liverpool - lost Saliba, Odegaard
1-1 Fulham - lost Gabriel
1-1 Brighton - lost Saka
2-2 Villa -lost Saka, Jesus
0-0 Forest - lost Saka, Martinelli, Havertz, Jesus
1-1 Man United - Lost Saka, Havertz, Jesus

by the time they were both back, was too late, Odegaard hasn't been the same player either.
It was the same when we were chasing City for the title, lost Saliba, replaced by Holding, who was horrific and quickly moved out of the club.

Liverpool have deserved to win the league, our medical staff should probably be quicky moved out of the club as well.


Kind Regards.

I think if we're all going to be simplistic and reductive, I'd pinpoint Arsenal's failings this term on their transfer business last summer. They got Calafiori who, despite looking decent, already has a big record of injuries despite only being 22. No shock to see him missing so much of the season. Merino has been half decent, weirdly mostly really when pushed into an emergency striker role. The Sterling loan remains a real head scratcher. And despite going into the season with Havertz and Jesus as the attacking options, Arteta didn't get another face in there where it was probably most needed.


There looks like a medium sized overhaul is needed this summer with the likes of Tierney, Zinchenko, Partey, Jorginho, and maybe Jesus looking at being offloaded. Fans must hope for a better summer from the manager this time around to arrest the decline. The likes of Saliba and Saka only have two years left on their contracts and may start wondering if the club matches their ambition if he doesn't.

Yeah, I say the manager but obviously there's more than just him involved in signings.

Arsenal’s top scorer…… 9 league goals.

Turn 7 draws into wins and it puts a different perspective on things. Add to that the brilliance Liverpool have shown and the luck they have made despite imho not being the best side as we have seen being knocked out of all the cups.

You go 2 or 3 down and there is no coming back. Once you let a lead slip everybody knows about it and everybody fancies their chances of a goal being 1-0 down to Arsenal.

I do blame the manager for that!

i think klopp would walk the league with that squad and one buy, salah, kane whoever, that's all it needs an experienced front player

arteta has had so many chances, he's just good enough not to sack, but when you look at it he's delivered nothing really and why is he going to be different next?

Arsenal have had a good share of poor refereeing decisions
and var go against them. Highlighting them doesn't always have
Fergie effect of 10 years of getting every 50/50.

Those days have gone

There's that clip of Arteta doing a training session before playing Liverpool and having the brainwave of playing YNWA and crowd noise over the top. Proper amateur hour and again felt really defeatist going into the game. Arsenal had won their last four games and were unbeaten in ten so should have been flying.


They lost 4-0.

Give him his due he gets a good deal on hotel rooms.

Agree elise it'll take 3 or 4 transfer windows for Slot to FU Klopp's squad.

Fully expect Liverpool to have identified who they want and buy them. Fully expect Arsenal to buy more defenders and midfielders! Havertz recovery will be like buying a centre forward!

Every Goner knows that for years just not the manager

They were the better team over the 2 legs against PSG as they were against Madrid.  Not much wrong with them at all.  They'd be my pick for the league next season as things stand.
