Danny Kelly was on TalkSPORT this morning, talking to Matt Scott about Arsenal. He said that the Arsenal Supporters Trust were predicting that they would make a £70m loss for this season and was putting this down to the wage bill and lack of CL football.

Apparently, they are paying Xhaka £150k per week on a nice 5 year contract. Another year without CL is just what that club needs...

We are currently 18th in the UEFA coefficients table and at least 2 teams above us won't be in the champions league so we will be in pot 2 assuming we meet your expectations and qualify :emoticon-0105-wink:

Not quite. Let all the Euro leagues complete at least.
And then after that, who the EL finalists are (and perhaps the winner) .

Cribbed from r/coys

Pot 1
Barcelona (136.00)
Juventus (124.00)
Bayern (128.00)
The Sheikh Mansour Team (106.00)
PSG (103.00)
Zenit St Petersburg (72.00)
Benfica (63.00)*
Woolwich Nomads (101.00)*

Pot 2
Los Ladrones do Madrid (146.00)
Atletico Madrid (127.00)
Sevilla (104.00)*
Porto (93.00)*
Chelsea (85.00)
Saltypool (86.00)
Dortmund (85.00)
Roma (81.00)*

Pot 3
Napoli (80.00)
Shakhtar Donetsk (80.00)
Spurs (75.00)
Ajax (73.50)
Dynamo Kyiv (65.00)
Lyon (61.50)
Bayer Leverkusen (61.00)
Taurine FC Salzburg (54.00)

Pot 4
Slavia Prague (35.50)
Inter (30.00)
Lokomotiv Moscow (28.50)
Young Boys (27.50)
Genk (25.00)
Taurine FC Leipzig (22.00)
Istanbul Basaksehir (10.50)
Lille (5.00)

* Teams with an asterisk could potentially drop out, as three of them dropping out would get us into Pot 2, the chances of which are as follows
- Sevilla are currently sixth in La Liga on 55 points with two games to go, with Getafe currently in fourth with 58 points
- Roma are currently fifth in Serie A on 59 points with three games to go, with Atalanta currently in fourth with 62 points
- Benfica are currently top of the Primeira Liga with 81 points, while Porto are in second with 79 points - winning the Primeira Liga guarantees a spot in the group stage, finishing second dumps you in the third round of the playoffs alongside the champions of Holland and the Czech Republic, runners-up for Ukraine and Belgium and third-placed team of France or Russia - or, as it stands at present, Ajax, Slavia Prague, Dynamo Kyiv, Club Brugge, Lyon and Krasnodar
- If Chelsea were to win the Europa League they would take the Nomads' spot in Pot 1
- ...like **** I'm going to tempt fate involving the other Pot 1 permutation!

Some fans still think we can blow top 4?

Bet our team thinks the same

Fans should not let their negative outlook seep into the team. It's the equivelent of jeering them...due to a lack of faith.

I've said it before and will say it again


The fans and the team feed each other.

Are you being serious?
Genuine question as I can't tell.

I am the only one here who has been saying it...which in fairness is my job here!

I am never negative at a match...ever.
I never leave early, never heckle, boo or get on the teams back...

Sorry if my joking around is wearing thin...will reign it in from now on.

Wow. Kompany channels his inner Wanyama. Rocket.

Such a compelling game and I have to say the lad Choudhury looks very impressive as a DM. Works his socks off, composed on the ball and doesn't go to ground making rash *cough* dier *cough* challenges *cough*.

He is quick too quite a prospect
 
Itchy Nachos HAS to score there and what poetic irony it would have been!

Magnificent work again by Choudhury. I'm sold.
