    Could've saved yourself the bother. Beating Everton was the last hurdle. You'd have to screw up twice now (assuming we beat Spammers, Leicester and Utd) against the easiest run-in anyone has ever had. All over now.

    In all likelihood yes, but you never know in football, never say never.

    Aaron Lennon detained under Mental Health Act. Sad to hear and hope he recovers soon.

    Anyone watching Juve v Monaco?

    Juve have again shown have tactically flexible they are. Allegri is a ****ing class act.

    Also this Mbappe kid at Monaco is the real deal.

    Also Alex Sandro would be the ideal replacement for Monreal IMO. The guy is top class.

    Juve are such an organised unit. Would love to see Allegri at Arsenal.....

    Oh well, we can all dream

    With Liverpool's demolition of the useless West Ham, I think there goes our top 4 chances to be honest. But we only have ourselves to blame with our poor form for two months because ultimately that's what has cost us. That being said, even if we did get into the CL places, it would still be a very underwhelming season overall and I am highly doubtful the board would be inclined to change anything if we did.

    Hopefully finishing outside of the top 4 will have some positive and fresh long-term effects because a shake-up has been needed for a long time now.

    Top 4 does look like a long shot now, and you're right we have only ourselves to blame for that. Realistically, what 'shake-up' do you think might happen at Arsenal in the summer if we do miss out on Top 4 ?

    I have to say I thought for sure Liverpool would drop points. Top 4 is gone now bar a miracle (what are the odds on us beating Sunderland 4-0 and city losing to west brom 1-0?) I'm a bit scared for this summer. We're at a fork in the road, and can either now wake up and embrace change, or become an Everton or Southampton or (former) Tottenham where our goal is top 4 every year with no chance at the title.

    We've become so obsessed with qualifying for CL football that we've forgotten that winning the PL is our priority. Not qualifying this year will be a shock to our system. My guess is that it will force some sort of change to our usual way of dealing with summer, we could see some positive changes. But our management has been coasting for so long that this could give them a good shake. The PL landscape has changed but they're stuck in the late 90's when Wenger first took over and brought us success.

    Don't really agree that we've forgotten that winning the PL is our priority, we just haven't been good enough to win it.
    Not qualifying will be a shock to the system, but I'm interested to know what sort of change people think this will force ?

    Last day of the season at Anfield to a relegated Boro... what could possibly go wrong <laugh>

    I'm dreading it already tbh.

    The only changes I see it bringing is Sanchez leaving and you not being able to sign the top bracket players....

    Wenger is staying (I think?), the board won't change as they're on a major money spinner.
