Right a couple of things!
If we don't finish 3rd given city's draw and our laughable run in (I mean on paper it's p**s easy) then we really need to wrap up!

Also mourinho. Always hated the thought of him been in our club for the things he has said about wenger! But then I have now said similar things so I can't be a hypocrite when in principle I now agree (to a degree) as do a lot of other posters on here and have also renounced the idea of him in the club!

So let's now re-evaluate that notion and list the positives .

Here's mine.
First and foremost
1.hes a winner
2.he would love to prove the big boasts and usurp wenger
3. He attracts star players and has a bit of the Xfactor (until his recent demise)
4. He would spend! He would insist (phew because some money needs to spent .
5. The likes of griezman, aubameyang, reus, benzema, pogba even?! Could now be a realistic signing

So what you think guys? Any other positive points guys? Please chime in.

6) He would get rid of players he thinks are surplus to requirement or passed their sell by date.

Not sure maureens the right fit for this "club" he is current and he does understand the modern game but he doesn't trust youth, that's why he would be poor at man u to, psg perfect for him. Saying that we could do a lot worse but I would take quite a few in front of him. He sets teams up to do the job and doesn't suffer fools either but for me he would be short term, in win a few trophies and upset the applecart and out. I think keoman is a better fit, if simeone could do a crash course in english, he would be better and maybe de boer and bergy would be too. Wengers crown has slipped and he's way out of his depth now with his one dimentional style, we are sitting ducks for any young current boss who studies tactics and our set up. Its not desperation wanting maureen but its fantasy, he ain't coming to the emerates.

I just think after this season and where we are now I'd see it as the least risky option and he is available . I like simione as well but other good options all seem a bit pie in the sky at the moment.

Maureen is damaged goods now IMO, look what he done at Chelsea totally alienated the squad that he largely built and turned them from title favs to damn near relagation threatened until Hiddick stepped in. He has let is ego and arrogance get the better of him know and as lost his way in terms of man management. It will be massive mistake if Manchester United hired him in my opinion and he would be a even worse fit for us.

Im not a arsenal fan but happy to help and its only a minute to complete maximum ask the Eds they may post it on other clubs pages if you are needing more completions i'm sure the majority of other teams fans wouldn't mind taking a minute out of their life to help you out.

{Ed007's Note - The lad's a Man Utd fan, don't you know who Luke Chadwick is? We put it up on all the sites but I don't know if that's related to 'dissertation' being the most searched word on Google today or not.}

Yeah mate but the Fox is going to eat the Chicken.

19 Apr 2016 22:11:15
Maybe matey, but one things for certain, your guns back fired yet again.

19 Apr 2016 23:03:44
Love the haters who have 'disagreed' that were still in it. Ed can we change the buttons to; agree cause your a fan of the same club as me, disagree beacause your not a fan of the same club as me.

NES, our guns have been empty all season mate.

So, finishing first is virtually impossible and second place is also highly unlikely. Hopefully, we will somehow manage to win our remaining home matches and pick up a couple of away draws, which should be enough to secure third spot, despite both Manchester clubs getting some decent recent results. In respect of both Manchester clubs, they have cup matches which may hinder their league performances. 4th place doesn't guarantee a CL place, in the event either Man City or Liverpool win their European trophy, then I believe they secure the 4th spot, even if they are outside of the PL top 4.
I have generally been a supporter of Wenger staying, but this support is declining, as he appears to have a group of players that are not performing anywhere near their true ability, don't forget we have not lost a match to either Leicester or the Toot this season. With the players likely to go this summer we need 5 or 6 replacements which shows the mistake Wenger has made over the last few windows in not recruiting earlier. We will lose the following players for sure; Debuchy, Arteta, Flamini and Rosicky. Whilst the likes of Gibbs, Ox and Walcott look unhappy at the club and that's down to Wenger.
I must admit that our form in 2016 has led me to withdraw my support for Wenger and pray that Mourinho hasn't signed for Man U and we slip in and secure his services. He would restore the passion that we require. The problem, as I have stated previously, is that either Wenger lingers on next season, with 2 or 3 signings at best and then we replace him poorly, as the big hitters are all in top jobs.

Good post RG

The accurate point is that Wenger will stay on, he will 100% honour his contract make no mistake about that.

19 Apr 2016 11:02:13
Your 100% right Banbury mate, but what can we do?
I say accept the situation and chill out about something we can't change is our best option mate.
Any way about Benzema, any news :-)

All the big hitters? Was Pochettino or Koeman a big hitter last season. I would fancy both of these to get a lot out of the current Arsenal squad. I'm not anti Wenger especially, but he has to go at some point and I can't really see him taking the club any further.

For the record I'm not a fan of Klopp's style of football and I don't think Pep is a long term bet either.

If Liverpool win the Europa league the epl will have 5 teams in next years champs league the only situation where fourth place loses its cl spot is if man city win the cl but finish 5th and Liverpool win the europa if Liverpool fail to win the Europa league but man city win the cl but finish 5th we would have the top 5 all in the cl its only a problem if city win and finish 5th and Liverpool win the europa as the maximum amount of teams allowed in the cl from 1 country is 5.

20 Apr 2016 01:33:13
here's a link to the possible scenarios of champions league depending on who wins what and where they finish I know it's the daily fail, was the first page I looked on though.
