Target still remains to end the season on at least 82-83 points, and the FA cup.
Have to get 3rd at worse, or another fucking summer where players hesitate to join us because they aren't sure if we will qualify for the CL.
I don't think that happens Jazz. Just an excuse for our own inaction.
Higuain and Suarez were ready to join before the Cl play-off.
Masochistic as it sounds, in an alternate universe where our form suddenly/miraculously improves we'd still have a small but not negligible of winning the league. Obviously we'd have to win out and hope results break in our favor
I probably shouldn't do this to myself
league is gone, mate. welcome to reality.
We'd have to win all of our remaining games to be in with a shout, it's pretty much impossible to see that happening given how we played today. After the big defeats away to City and Liverpool we drew our following home games. The reaction post implosion is to avoid loss, which is understandable I guess. Pity we didn't have that reflex and mentality today.
Everton have a game in hand, win it and they are 5 points off us. If we lose to City, it will be a hell of a game at Goodison Park.
Top 4 isn't assured yet.

We will find a way to finish fourth, don't worry. Only the cup is in the air now.

I guess we'd have to bid for some for them to have to make that decision though wouldn't we? We don't try to sign any until it's assured rather than the other way around.
Anyway, worse than that is the very real possibility of United winning the CL. Wouldn't it be typical of those jammy cunts to go and do it the year they miss out on top 4?
Don't think it makes any difference at all personally. Players will only have to look at the last 17 years to just assume we will be in there.

Very real possibility? We're probably more likely to win the league than they are to beat Bayern.
Well they're still in it. How is it not a possibility?
Because they're shit and they have no chance of winning 3 ties v top opposition.
Same was said about Liverpool. Knockout up, it could happen. It my be unlikely, but it's possible.
We were trouncing Bayern up until the penalty miss. They're weaker than last season. So is barca. Only scary teams in it are Real and PSG.
hah have you watched games before? they ebb and flow, one team is on top for a while, then it reverses, and so on. bayern is definitely stronger this season - whether it translates into european success, we shall see. cup ties are unpredictable.
Bon appetit Clrnc.
so what do we think - it's now almost certain that we will finish 4th. we have a very easy route to the fa cup. it would be the first trophy in the 2nd half of wenger's tenure at arsenal. if we fuck this up, we truly will look like specialists in failure.
does this put more or less pressure on us in the fa cup? are we going to cock this up?
