Arsenal will finish above both red shites, two teams that are constantly given everything on and off the pitch.
That is an achievement. A big one in my book.

Quite a few things Arsenal fans should be embarrassed about this season. Gloating as if you’d already won the league. Arteta. Zincheko crying every two seconds. Throwing stuff at de Bruyne when he was subbed.
The team has thrown it away by being two up against Liverpool and West Ham and then surrendering. The “we’ve got a small squad” is embarrassing as our squad is one of the smallest in the Prem.
Definitely be embarrassed about all the “well City spend so much money we can’t compete” comments that are coming from Arsenal fans.
The fact is the WC break suited Arsenal. Without that they would have fallen away February at the latest.

It’s been a good, but strange season of football that has fizzled out for you in the end. Nobody expected Arsenal to be leading the pack for so long and for doing that they have to be applauded. Long periods of good football cannot be sniffed at and I, for one, had you down for playing the best football of the season, it was that entertaining.
I know it’s not much consolation after such a great season but at least you can be happy that the collapse didn’t come much earlier

In the words of my Old Man, "Life will never be the same without Man City, so get it in while you can".

I know a few Arsenal fans who were able to get tickets for their one and only game of the season thus far yesterday.
I genuinely cannot blame them for leaving early of that's the shitshow they were served up. (It's perhaps an anomalous result in the context of the season, but it's happened against Brighton before and it's happened against other sides in seasons past when we're vying for the title. It is embarrassing and not something that can be landed at the fans' door)
Brighton are an excellent team and have been for a few years. Without the shit refereeing they have endured this season, they would probably be in the champions league spots. Again, there is no embarrassment in losing to Brighton, or losing to the better team on the day. This is the nature of the sport.
Unless your fanbase think they have some kind of divine right to beat teams like Brighton...?

I think if you said before a ball had been kicked every Arsenal fan including the players and coaching staff would have snatched your hand off to be second and put up a very decent title challenge.
They are ahead of some very good teams. Not many predicted the dippers for example would finish outside the top 4 given the season they had just had.
Yes of course you can look with regret at certain games during the season and think what if. But overall its been a very good season for them imo

Agreed. You put it a bit better than I did, notts.

We haven't won anything yet.
2 points still needed from 3 losable games

I’m afraid that I am one of the ones in “it’s not over until it’s over“ camp.
I won’t relax until the points on the board, and Manchester City are to blame for that.

So the lines show Jones out of play and the decision is, you guessed, on.
They even showed the line he is off.
Barcodes really fucked up. Hope they get it together because they will lose UCL with all the support these cunts have.

Both goals were onside, annoyingly.
More annoyingly is how shit Leicester are. Especially Faes. Where the fuck did they find him?

This one is a win win for me, Leicester left anchored and murdering scum left with Thursday nights. Iirc not that long ago chelski had a shit season an didn't make any level of Europe which worked in their favour by bouncing right back the following season.
