Some quite bitter

And very arrogant/ignorant still.

He is right Arsenal has a lot of history. A storied history of not winning anything in the last 20 years.

Only player from Brighton they really should be signing is Caicedo.

He'd be superb for them.

Ferguson a good shout though too.

I think that would be too big, too early for Ferguson.

Bet his subs have gone through the roof after that lol

"Ray Parlour, you absolute wrong 'un"!


And I'd love to hear what he reckons he has on Ian Wright!

Fair enough. We really didnt handle the run in well. Injuries to Saliba and Tomiyasu were terminal. Arteta was a little late recognising Kiwior is a vast improvement on Holding. We oculdnt handle the pressure in the end

Just need to be aggressive again in the transfer window. Plenty of organic growth from Saliba, Saka, Martinelli and Odegaard. We will be banging on the door next season too

Tough year next year I think. How many teams realistically fighting for four places? Brutal.

Bring it on.

Can't see Brighton or Villa gatecrashing the top 4 somehow. And nos 4-6 on that list can't be as poor again as they were this season.

Their heads have completely and utterly gone.

I really think Forest will beat them on Saturday

 

[bennyboy]

Arsenal have had a great season. We have just been better. And beaten them 3 times

They have not had a great season.They would have had the season finished on 1 April.
They have been shite from April 1 onwards despite not having a hard fixture list.
Only league games in that period as well.
Arsenal.
Won 3 Drew 3 Lost 2.

City.
League Won 8.
Cup games.Won 2 Drew 2.
So city have had 24 points compared to the 12 Arsenal won in the same period.With an extra 4 cup games added to their fixture list.
Arsenal bottled it.

To be fair, they've got 81 points, and that was enough to win the league back when they used to do it. Unfortunately for them, they haven't realised that we've raised the bar and it's now rare to win it without getting into the 90s.

Better than their best ever invincible season to be honest, just not good enough for when City have raised the standard needed to collect a league title recently.

They had 69 by 19 March.
Bottlers.

Spurs? agree with the others. Those pricks arent getting anywhere near top 4 next season.

 

[super_city_si]

Why such a push from the media to insist Arsenal havent 'bottled' it? I dont see how it could be anything but a bottle job considering their position and recent results.

First sign of us mounting a challenge and they shit the bed.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Agreed. But you said so yourself, you went long because our press was really good. You also surrendered possession in that game, something you would never cede to another team. I think we had 65% possession. When was the last time a Pep team had 35% of the ball?

These anecdotal events are cause for optimism among Arsenal ranks. We know we are still very wet behind the ears. Our key playing personnel are all still quite young and our manager is only into his 4th year as a manager.

We are still cutting our teeth and between another big window and the organic growth from Saka, Martinelli, Odegaard and Saliba, we can be better next season.

This notion that this season was make or break is such a fallacy. Ive read comments on this forum about how Odegaard would be the perfect KDB replacement. Well he is going to be at Arsenal next season too. As will Saka, Martinelli, Saliba & they will be a year older.

You have to learn when and when not to press.
65% possession is irrelevant if the ball ends up in your net 3 times - and to be honest it could have been 5 or 6 without Ramsdale who is a fine shot stopper.

Awww, bless from supporters of a team that BOUGHT their way into the top flight. The hypocracy is breathtaking.

As you say most of that 65% possession was them passing it around the back whilst we just stood about not getting sucked in and Ramsdale delaying goal kicks.
