Arsenal are now the only team to finish in the top 4 every season since 1996.

.... And for that Wenger should stay. Only teams with bigger budgets have finished above us

If we manage to garner three points today we will have already achieved a greater total than in any of the last six seasons, decent progression in the league I'd say.

                P   GD   Pts
1   Arsenal   19   19   42
2   Man City   19   33   41
3   Chelsea   19   16   40

Still find it amazing you feel so smug pleased about our season ending position Ralph.

I don't intend to sound smug, simply reporting the facts.

The facts are that despite being handicapped far more than our contemporaries at the top of the league by injuries, we have still managed to accrue more points than for some time.

I see this as a positive but no doubt you and your agenda will disagree.

Yes. Very Good that despite our injuries we kept our  place in CL,.

Bad that our Manager couldn't see that we had a small exhausted squad, and further injuries would crucify us, and then didn't strengthen it at a time everyone saw he needed to.

As for agenda, not sure what that means? Makes it sound like I have an evil plan to hatch. Am I on the board and rallying board support?

Not sure expressing an opinion on a thread that gets about 20 reads per post constitutes an agenda! Purely an opinion Ralph.

Agree we needed to strengthen in the January transfer window but never met a fellow Arsenal fan who could tell me who was actually available?

When the league table is settled by balances in the bank, Arsenal will be top of league every year.

Until that time, seasons like this have got to be considered a failure.

Man City, Chelsea and United won't all under achieve so badly perhaps ever again. (At least while the current way of financing teams is allowed)

This was the season Arsenal (and Liverpool) could have capiltilised.

You (and they) didn't.

If you are happy never winning the title again, then this season was excellent.

You were 7/2 to win in 90 a minute ago. Just as I went to bet...
