Best of the rest in 7th place. People have been saying this for nearly 20 years. It's not going to happen. If for no other reason than no club wants to go from being a top club in their country that pays in the CL, to being the European whipping boys and nothing else every season. Dominating the domestic leagues is very important for these clubs, they don't want their only games to be against other elite clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) I know they had a few injuries but that 11 Arsenal put out today must be one of the weakest they've put out since the mid 90s. In it you had: Jenkinson who flopped at SHA on loan last season and is just at Arsenal because he's a fan. Mavarapanos....some young Greek kid who's played two games in a year. Mustafi....imo the worst CB from the top 6 clubs. Elneny- very mediocre centre midfield. Guendozi- Young player who did well start of the season but struggled last few months. It really wasn't that much stronger than Palace 11 at all. Think Emery has done very well to keep them on verge of top 4. Man. United and Chelsea obviously have their issues but I think both had better 11s and squads than Arsenal, it's attitude with those two clubs.

PaulC Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Yes Spurs was expected to be fair but united and arsenal have really made it difficult for themselves now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Emery has done a bloody good job under the radar. Also attacking trophies unlike Wenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hudson-Odoi and De Bruyne both out for the rest of the season is a shame regardless of what you think about the clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Man Utd and Arsenal both lost tonight. Nobody wants champions league football except Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Know he's a bit of a melon but Merston made a good point where most pundits are saying how great a season spurs have had, but they've lost now 17 matches in all competitions including 12 in the league this season. That's a lot of football matches to lose, when we were finishing 6th we lost what 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Spurs seem to be doing the Liverpool style drop to 5th and get in CL by actually winning it method. 1 hour ago, VillaJ100 said: Know he's a bit of a melon but Merston made a good point where most pundits are saying how great a season spurs have had, but they've lost now 17 matches in all competitions including 12 in the league this season.

You have to go back decades in English football for a team who's drawn as few games as that. Sometimes teams can get sucked into battling draws thinking it's enough but reality is six battling draws still equals out as the same as four poor defeats.
