We could be under threat seriously, if all 3 clubs drop out, of losing the 4th CL place. Looking at the Europa League, we're probably the clear favourites for that now, Sevilla actually managed to stay in the CL for once, so they can't have it again this year. I'm wondering if that's our best shot at this point in time.
Not sure how our teams have become so **** in the CL. The standard of our league is head and shoulder above other leagues. I'd say it's fatigue but we seem to get knocked out pretty ****ing early.
City got to the semi's last season and completely gave up under the pressure, that'll happen to clubs with no soul. There's only three clubs who have done well mate, United, Chelsea and Liverpool. Between us all we've had some recent downs, struggling with transition etc, but looking at all three now, I'm confident the English representation in the CL will be stronger in the next few seasons. Arsenal are a joke, their season, every season is like watching a film with the best bit at the start then it just gets utter ****... it's like watching From Dusk Til Dawn.
Personally think Arsenal look like they have far more bite this year, they will last the course. They could do Bayern who aren't nearly as strong as they have been, but nobody is stopping Chelsea in the league, absolutely formidable and winning even when they play ****. Conte = súper coach.
The same old Arsenal turned up at Old Trafford mate, got pulled from pillar to post and we were missing Zlatan. They just don't have big games in them, that's why they crumble when the going gets tough. As much as I admire their football, Wenger just never learns his lesson.
See, I think they have a lot more this year if still not enough. A prime striker and a proper holding midfielder and they are close. Nobody will touch Chelsea regardless.
Their team is built to finish in the top 4, Wenger won't spend and Arsenal won't commit the funds to be dominating Europe. I'd love to be in their position right now, of course, but would I be happy watching us accept top 4 for 10 years? Not a chance. They've been conditioned to it, and it won't change, not til Wenger is gone.
