After thinking about it last night I came up with the answer wenger wants us to get out of the champions league as quickly as possible so he can play the reserves in the europa league and concentrate on the premiership

{Ed025's Note - if that was the case yanman...what would be the point of the team playing their hearts out to finish 3rd last season?, i dont think any side sets out to lose any match mate..

We don't have any reserves, just our under 21s and first team squad. Though I do believe Europa league football would be best for Arsenal as they have half a chance of winning that and not a hope in hell of winning the champions league!

a new low?, POSSIBLY the straw to break Gazidis' and Kroenke's will and consider sacking Wenger... going out at this stage hits the club hard - and it also hits the PL hard because we're at risk of losing our 4th spot. But let's face it, Arsenal haven't competed in this competition since the bygone era of Campbell, Henry and Pires, so does it really matter we go out one round earlier than our obligatory last 16 exit!?
Everything says we're a big club:
stadium, players, wage bill, money in the bank, sponsorship, the highest ticket prices in the land. we tick every box apart from the one next to 'trophies'.
but i do feel i can see the season panning out in front of me now. we'll lose to Utd, lose/draw to Bayern, go on a lull in the league while doing well in the league cup.
after xmas we'll go on a run, win the league cup (yay silver lining!), lose to some rubbish side in the europa league and finish 4th.
Groundhog Day but with Kevin James instead of Bill Murray!

It's the Kevin James replacement that hurts the most
