    It's not easy to praise teams you don't like a hell of a lot, but considering their up and down season, they did manage top 4 again. So well done Arsenal, they did finish very well.

    Done very well, between us we went undefeated in our last 18 PL games. Their run since they beat Bayern 2-0 was amazing

    Great run in but then they had nothing else to play for. Another average trophy less season for the project.

    Does anyone know when Arsenal's 'top 4 trophy' parade is? Make sure I avoid the area on that day.

    Staggering isn't it? Got a gem of a video that I'll put up later on of the goons in full force outside St James'. Proper helmets.

    Fear Drogs, that's why. There's one thing accepting they have fallen off us, United etc, one thing that they don't compete for silver anymore but to fall below Spurs...Don't bear thinking about for them!!

    Exhibit A: Arsenal and Spurs - now competing regularly for the last Champions League spot (don't care @ trophies)
    Exhibit B: Liverpool and Everton - now competing exclusively for bragging rights of finishing higher
    Exhibit C: Man Utd obsessed with collecting PL Titles, at the expense of every other trophy
    Exhibit D: Chelsea...content with European and FA Cup trophies, occasional tilts at the PL
    Exhibit E: Man City...a victim of their own success, European lightweights still

    26 points out of 30. Impressive. They are a great league side under Wenger, just a poor cup one <ok>

    Effectively celebrating 4th place, why would I be kind to that? It's ****ing embarrassing, I'd be saying the same if our lot did it.

    How were they supposed to react considering where we were in March?

    How about being disappointed with only just scraping past your considerably smaller neighbours? I understand being happy but there were full on celebrations.

    We've already had the disappointment since about 2 months into the season.

    Chelsea can get away with a season of finishing outside the top 4, Arsenal might not be able to. That's why there was so much relief

    I understand that, but still no excuse I'm afraid. It was as if you'd won the title. Had you missed out on CL a few years prior then fair enough but you have consistently finished there in the past.

    Wenger has to win something next season or he's done for getting CL is good but not winning any trophies for 8 years is terrible for a club of their resources.
