As funny as it is to wind the Arsenal fans up about it. Suspect they'll be mid table, maybe bottom half. The worry for Arsenal and their fans is that what looked like a slump at the club is beginning to look like decline. They have recruited so badly and the longer they spend ooutside the CL the more difficult it becomes to recruit the players you need to get back there. Suspect that's the reason they gave Auba that crazy contract, because they weren't confident they could attract a replacement if he left. Zero chance of them going down, still it’s fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 They probably wont go down but they dont really have a great team that would give you too much confidence You have to wonder if Arteta will go back to Ozil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Arsenal have never been the same since David Dein was forced out. Its mostly been downhill ever since apart from the odd good season and FA Cup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted December 21, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 21, 2020 Just heard Poundland Pep quoting all kind of stats to suggest they should be doing better than they are, you aren’t though fella because the team is crap and you can’t keep 11 players on the pitch.

Albion and Sheffield United are two of the poorest teams we've had in the league in years, and Burnley, Brighton and Fulham are poor. It's a particularly poor year at the bottom. If they'd played like this last season, I think it'd have been a much closer thing than they'd be comfortable with. A decent run of form will have them straight back in to the top half, it's still very early days. Edited December 21, 2020 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Yep during his time at Arsenal they won the league 5 times in 3 different decades and got to the Champions League final. Since then 0. Edited December 21, 2020 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As funny as it is to wind the Arsenal fans up about it. Suspect they'll be mid table, maybe bottom half. It's Christmas and they're absolutely in a relegation battle. They'll almost certainly sort themselves out and get out of it, but the fact is they genuinely are in the conversation at the moment. What if they don't sort themselves out though, which is entirely possible? Burnley will shithouse their way out of trouble like they always do, Brighton look like they could start to click any time now and Fulham aren't actually as bad as they looked when the season started. All three of them could pick up some form soon. Meanwhile, Arsenal look like they're spiralling. They're shot of confidence, they look like they have no clue what they're doing, they don't even look like they like each other very much either. It's a shambles. Premature? Maybe. But it is a real possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Burnley finding some form and Fulham getting results leaves Arsenal right in the mix. A tough run coming up for them as well. Edited December 21, 2020 by LondonLax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted December 21, 2020 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2020 Arsenal aren't going down, though it would be utterly hilarious if they did. They'll sack Arteta before they're in any real danger of going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i think people really just want them to get a Big Sam type long ball manager to grind out results to destroy Wenger legacy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
