Well done today boys, not a classic United v arsenal far from it. europa is our chance and getting ahead of Liverpool is yours.
I think you will get there.

Fairplay Leahy. Respect.

I would be very surprised if we finish above Liverpool.

7 points behind, 2 games in hand, pretty much means we have to win all 4 remaining games to even stand a squeak of a chance.

You'd think West ham v Liverpool would be Liverpool's biggest hurdle but a home game against an all but religated Boro is still a hurdle for a Liverpool side that always insist on making a steeple chase out of a flat race.
Don't rule Utd out just yet though, league cup Europa league champions and 4th place in the premier league wouldn't be a bad first season for Jose.

Id back them away to win but for some reason at home can't break teams down. You would think its two wins tho.

Gunner, that Sunday dinner with all the trimmings was welcome.

Steve my advice is! Eat drink and be merry for Wednesday we go to Southampton :-)
It's always brilliant to beat It and it's really nice to see Arsene come out on top against Jose at last I'm really pleased for him more than us today.

People will say Utd played their reserves or what ever but the history books won't say that and they will all never again say Arsene Wenger is yet to beat Jose Mourinho in a competitive match.

Despite hoping this season will be Arsene's last as our manager I'm still really pleased for him.

Was not exactly a weak reserve Utd team was it lots of experience (The RB aside) and quality so still a good win. Lucky on first goal but I think we did do just enough in 2nd half to deserve the win.

Will it be too little too late though, Liverpool are showing their nerves now so there is still a slim chance of top4.

Hi Ryan win the next two games and I will certainly reconsider my opinion mate as beating Southampton and Stoke away is no mean feat for any team and for Arsenal winning at either of those grounds let alone both in the same season has proved elusive to say the least.
My personal view has been for ages Liverpool will make way and drop into the Europa league and despite today I still think it will be Utd who take their place in 4th, I might well be wrong as I didn't think we'd win today but let's review the situation after Wednesdays and next weekends games.

Gunner maureen is taking a calculated risk and if you are right about pool, then we have a free run. Man u won't be risking anything in the league.

07 May 2017 21:07:15
Beat Southampton and Stoke Steve and let's take another look but I still think we have loads of potential to go backwards again this season yet mate.
As for utd? Well they will either be in the Europa final or out of the competition so either way will be concentrating on the league for the remainder of the season, they've not been great this season but 25 games unbeaten before today means they've got something to them somewhere.

Wenger in one interview stated that puplic criticism of players was counter productive, then in another interview about the spuds loss said the players hid, were scared to take risks, didn't close down and were not up for the game. Well that should be productive, i think the guy speaks with fork tongue or talks bullsheet.

07 May 2017 14:41:27
Now when I say this I don't mean it to come off personally towards you Steve and for the record I do hope we bring in a new manager this summer.
However I am really starting to find the constant complaining and moaning about arsene so boring. It's like people go out their way to find something he has done or said wrong. Really puts me off this site. That being said appreciate everyone's opinions.

07 May 2017 15:06:24
No D the people are fed up with the crap that is said and that has and is going on.

07 May 2017 15:48:13
To be fair steve I see where your coming from and it further highlights the case that he has completely lost it. In the past even when his tactical had already gone he was a man of integrity and always was good for his word now even that has gone this season.

07 May 2017 15:49:12
Well they should be fed up with the board the team and the manager like I am. Take your other post for example. If we lose today it'll be embarrassing for arsene. Why just arsene? should it not be embarrassing for others as well as arsene!

07 May 2017 15:53:50
I hope you keep posting 16 mate as you are a valued member of this page imo mate.
Arsene has hardly done anything to help the situation either on or off the field to be fair mate, all the "you will know my decision very soon, "stuff followed by " what I call soon and you call soon are different things ' topped up by 'you will know my decision by March​/ April " which has now turned into ' I was wrong about the March/ April bit '

You have to admit 16 mate he has made it extremely easy for people to find fault with his bizarre words actions and decisions on and off the pitch mate.

D what planet are you on, if that happens read the papers tomorrow and see how many blame the player or the board. that's what managers are the for, to make a club tick.

07 May 2017 16:07:27
Right Steve just because the papers only blame the managers doesn't mean I have too. Arsene has a big majority of the blame to take. Rightly so. But in my own opinion the board are not getting enough stick and nor are the players. Countless times the team has been more than good enough and let us and arsene down.

That being said I totally agree 62 he has not helped himself with things he has said. Which is why I want a change in the summer. Just for a long time it's seemed like a witch hunt on every single thing he dies which that guy deserves much more from us in my opinion.

07 May 2017 18:01:46
16 total respect your feelings mate and I totally respect all Arsene did for the club in the early years he was absolutely brilliant back then, but i do feel he's been dinning out on those for 7 years for over a decade which is more than any other manager would possibly be allowed to do mate.

Arsene has been brilliant for Arsenal but let's not forget how unbelievably brilliant Arsenal have been to him and his philosophy that has been failing for years now.

Over the years wenger builds his squad and the players he bought are the players he's put his trust in. If players don't perform usually the manager pays the price because they are his players whom he had scouted and trusted to do a job, the buck always stops with yhe manager, whatever the players do.

I can't remember many players getting the sack.
