Do Arsenal fans want third or fourth?

And Wenger deserves credit for that, but it must compound your failure to win it even more, Arsenal have the worst record in CL knockouts in Europe.

18 attempts: 18 fails

 

To be fair, we made the QF and the Final and narrowly lost it. But I agree our record in the comp is pretty crap recently.

 

"Even if we do drop out this season, how could it be the case that this 'drop out' rule was designed for Arsenal, seeing as it's never happened ?"

Rules can be designed for things that have not *YET* happened. That is called fore-sight.

 

So you think the drop out rule was invented for Arsenal, at the inception of the Europa league for a team who have never competed in it, or who have never dropped out of the CL to fall into it, on a whim, that one day it might happen.

Have you been taking wumming lessons from HIAG ?

 

I don't give lessons, PIXIE. You simply cannot teach what I have, mate.

 

You're right about that. It takes a special kind of ****-wittery to attain your level.

 

One man's ****-wittery is another man's wum-mastery, PIXIE.

 

And your wum-mastery is everybody else's ****-wittery

 

We all know that you'd like that to be true, PIXIE.

 

Don't take my word for it. Check the 'real lawyer' '**** off Jose' and a raft of other threads where people are ripping the piss out of you mate

 

I respectfully refer you to my "No point trying to teach a monkey a card-trick" comment, that I posted on another thread.

It is merely a number in a very long line of "ownings," mate.

 

To be honest Chelsea don't have a chance to win the Champions League so it will benefit them to drop into the Europa because looking further ahead Chelsea will struggle to make the top 4 and winning the Europa league will be the only way Chelsea can make the Champions League next season

 

The only thing you own monkey boy, is an unrivalled ability at walking into your own wum fails.

At the risk of going round in circles and boring everybody to death, let's just leave your **** wittery here

 

Exactly. It's probably the only way they have a chance of being in the champions league next season.

 

About 70'000 posts too late

 

You literally dropped out of the Champions League and into the UEFA Cup in the first season that the rule was introduced.
I'm not sure how you've forgotten losing in the final to Galatasaray to the penalty of an ex-Spurs player. Lots of alcohol, probably.

 

That was the UEFA cup not the European league.

 

That was when the drop-down was "designed". You literally used it at the first opportunity.

 

Nothing we could do about that apart from not getting knocked out at the group stage ....

 

You have never won the CL and lets be honest probably never will so Europa League is the most chance Arsenal will ever have of winning a European trophy.
