Arsenal showing the difference between them and the likes of Chelsea, Man City, Manure and top clubs in Europe. Elneny and Xhaka are properly dog shit, both of them are slow, clogging midfielders who tackle late and can't pass the ball more than 12 yards. Combine that with full backs of Monreal and Chambers and a bench of youngsters and defenders and it's small wonder they find themselves cast adrift from the top. The only bright spot, Aubameyang, is being played on the left wing and is completely nullified by Newcastle's fastest player, Yedlin.
Hilarious watching Welbeck and the like aimlessly passing backwards when they're chasing a game because they have no idea what else to do
Chelsea and Utd went out at exactly the same stage that Arsenal did every year.
Arsenal are pinning all their hopes on to winning the Europa League and getting into the Champions League
If one from Man Utd | Spurs | Chelsea win the FA Cup then Arsenal will be back in Europe next season regardless as the Europa League spot will be given to the side that finishes 7th
Only PL team not to get an away point in 2018. Won't win anything this season when they get knocked out in the EL semi. In danger of finishing below Burnley in the PL. And they charge the most for season tickets in the country.

Think one or two of us would moan about that lot.
Even better, they're the only team in the entire country not to get an away point in 2018
They did nothing to replace the leadership, quality and arsehole they lost years ago and have got by largely by being a very decent footballing side who were occasionally capable of whacking 6 past someone and only being stopped when sides kicked the shit out of them.
Now they aren't even the best footballing side, they are miles behind man city, Liverpool and even Burnley in terms of moving the ball well
Saw something on my Twitter feed this morning about net spend in the Prem last 5 years. They were 4th. Now I’m in agreement with Wenger that keeping up with Man City is very hard given what they’ve spent, but in those years if you’re the 4th highest spender you have to say they shouldn’t have dropped out the CL, which they now have. Also look at what Leicester did to win it in that period, they haven’t spent anywhere near as much but they still had what it takes to win it
Speaks volumes for how far done Wenger and Arsenal are as a major force

Wenger has had this hard-done-by blame mentality since he started at The Arse, it is very rarely, if ever, his or his players at fault
Of the so called "big six" clubs, Arsenal also have the oldest average age for starting XIs this season - so they can't even argue that they have been building for the future because the other five are not only above them in the table but younger too.
think theyll land butland next season, they need a mass rebuild as above poster they've got an aging squad, the board wont give wenger or the new manager the cash to buy. oh well what a shame.
After matches instead of a civilised handshake the opposition manager will get a punch on the shoulder and be told: 'ooh you are awful but I like you!'
