It's been coming for a few years.
At the start of the season I said we should deliberately get knocked out of it, as the distraction of playing on Thursdays would affect our league form. As it turns out our shit away form has affected our league position far more than the EL. We also got shamefully knocked out of the FA cup by one of the worst teams in the Championship.
So I want us to win a trophy, and I want us to get back in the CL. Purely so that we can hang on to the few good players we have, and attract a few more. We will also have a better chance of attracting a decent manager, should by some miracle the club decide to get shot of Wenger.
You was wrong at the start
Distraction is a load of old bollocks
They are well paid privileged footballers who should be able to perform on any day of the week
And you are wrong at the end
If the arsenal job was to go up at any time under any circumstances there would be a clamour of candidates going for it
I want us to win the Europa league because I want to win the Europa league and did the moment it was apparent that that was what we would be competing in this season
