Since October 2016 we've played 31 PL away games and won just 9. Alexis scored in all 9 of those wins.

Saw this stat on twitter
For the first time since March 2017, Bas Dost controlled the ball before scoring this weekend, ending a run of 45 first-time finishes.

That’s what you call a clinical penalty box finisher. Imagine not requiring a first touch for any goal for a 45 goal run

The club is in good shape. We have a good squad. Our home form is a testimony to the team's potential. Unfortunately Wenger can't seem to motivate the players away from home this season. I believe any decent manager (including Wenger) will get more out of this team next season .

Goonie, are you all right mate? Have you taken any psychedelics as you appear to be having hallucinations.

The game to worry about actually isn't the Europa league when Athletico will smash our lubricantless jam roll it's United the Sunday after the first leg because if the European tie is poised imagine the side Wenger will put out ! Basically Aubameyang and a collection of second teamers. That could be half a dozen

I wouldn’t mind seeing us make a move for Lascelles from Newcastle this summer. He has been very good for them, a proper leader. Young, English, good positioning, good in the ball.

Just a player I think will end up somewhere bigger than Newcastle

I don't want us to buy any promising player while Wenger is in charge because I think he would f***** up their career .

Good God. That's such a ridiculous post that I'm not sure whether you're being serious or having a joke. "The club is in good shape." You mean apart from having a past it has been as a manager? Why is our home form more telling of the team's potential under Wenger than our away form? We haven't won more away points because of Wenger, so why would that change if he stays?


13 league points away from home at this stage is the not the norm for Wenger. 35-40 points league points at home is what we usually get... and it seems everyone agree that any decent manager can get more out of the current squad, so I don't think it's anything controversial to say that we have a good squad and the club is in good shape.

Goonie, are you all right mate? Have you taken any psychedelics as you appear to be having hallucinations.


If we can properly replace Mertesacker and Cazorla, I'm confident we will perform better next season - with or without Wenger. At the moment we can still afford to add three non-homegrown players to the squad. If the club buy 3-5 established players, can't see why we can't put up a credible title challenge.

With Wenger as the manager, Kroenke as the owner, and almost an entire new defence being needed, how the hell can you say "the club is in good shape"?

The good thing abt Kroenke is that he doesn't interfere. But there has been changes in the background preparing for Wenger's eventual departure - appointment of Mislintat and two other guys whose names I can't remember. Plus our youths are in the Final.

As for Wenger, he has underperformed. Whoever our manager is next season, should be able to get at least 75 league points next season - we definitely have the players for that. Our away form this season is an anomaly.

As for our defence, I think Bellerin will stay, Kolasinac should improve and Monreal can give us one more season. If we can properly replace Mertesacker and relegate Koscielny to be our 4th CB with quality additions, our squad will be sttengthened significantly.

Goonie, I will defend your right to have this opinion.I t seems that you have thought it through. I just do not agree.

Kroenke is unambitious for trophies and gave Wenger a new contract. In my view that makes him a crap owner. So you think Wenger has underperformed but if we somehow fuke the Europa League you'd want him to stay? Hmmm! You think the squad we have should have more points than we do. I agree, but we haven't because of Wenger's mismanagement. I think that's a good reason to want him gone even if we do win the Europa League.

I've got a feeling we'll reach the final. Worse teams than Arsenal have beaten better sides than Atletico many times, even over two legs. I just think it's wrong to write off Arsenal's chances. Also I reckon Arsenal are the more likely to score an away goal. Atletico aren't the best going forward, despite having Griezmann, and we all know how important away goals can be in European football.

Furthermore, I feel there's another issue. With the threat to Wenger's job (the Daily Mail are saying the lack of bums on seats at the Emirates in recent weeks is worrying the club's hierarchy), it would be so Wengerish for him to save himself by winning the Europa League to get Arsenal back into the Champions League. It just strikes me as so typical of Wenger. Okay, it didn't get us in the Champions League, but beating Chelsea in the FA Cup final got him a new contract last summer.

Atletico have been really flakey this season and have had some poor form slumps. It will be just like us to put down a Chelsea FA Cup type performance and get enough of a lead to hold on in Madrid.

I don't think it will matter whether we win or not because I expect Wenger to be there next year. I just don't expect Kroenke to act. Of course this could be fatal to our chances of having Ramsay renewing or Bellerin remain at the club.

Well I have been drinking ... a few hefty rums ..... but if Bellerin f***s off to some other point on the planet I'll be a happy man except for speed I just can't figure out what that ponsy little sh**t with the stupid haircut offers .

No positional sense , slows ever play down the right hand side with a pass backwards , can't cross for sh***t , so often caught out of position , mediocre defender ....... Maricon .

PS What's happened to the Cowboys this season ...Thurston is getting a bit long in the tooth but you still have an awesome squad yet you've dropped off a cliff . 1 win 5 losses

The problem is that at least he has some idea and I think he could improve. Alternatively Chambers who I thought was taken apart again on the weekend would probably play more games in the position. If a few more players actually made runs and made themselves available for Bellerin maybe he wouldn't have to pass backwards.

Cowboys - I think a few of them read the papers and thought they were in the top 4. Now they look disjointed and I think Morgan is carrying an injury. Would not surprise me if he has to have an op.

I would have loved to get Martial. Too bad. Mourinho, like Wenger, seems to ruin some players via excluding them and ignoring them (Podolski couldn't buy a match).

We were once known for having one of the best scouting networks in Europe. Mustafi isn't good enough. He's a liability. Neville saying his former club couldn't give him away at one time because he was so bad, tells you how out of the loop our scouts are.

When I first saw this headline, I was certain they were talking about Özil. Juve wanting an Arsenal star. Has to be Özil right? But no....

I think Some of Chambers performances have been frankly disasterous but I would be interested to see how he fared under a different manager who marshalled him better and knew his weaknesses as he is a player with some quality. I don’t think he’s the write off many think but Wenger isn’t helping him. You don’t send a centre half in his early twenties on the pitch without serious instruction and you just know that Arsene probably barely says a word to him. You could possibly apply this to Holding too.

33 points off top position
More people watching arsenal fan TV every week than turning up to games
Whole defence needs replacing
No player of any credit willing to sign a new contract unless the wages are insane (cheers Mesut)
People celebrating mediocrity by lauding players like El Nenny
Wenger talking more nonsense than Trump


Yep that's right we're top of the world Ma!

In my view wenger is failing in every single aspect of his role and expectations.

I struggle to think of a single thing he does well any more. I’m sure there are still those classy moments behind the scenes, showing his intelligence and dignity as a person but there is little there as a football manager any more.

Signings?
Improving players?
Training?
Tactics?
Set pieces?
Motivation?
Leadership?
Style of play?
Entertainment?
Youth players?

I’m really struggling

Not sure

I watched him versus Chelsea at Stamford bridge when I was entertaining a customer despite losing his performance seemed seemed more assured than with us. Not sure though

Reading that arsenal are charging Atletico away fans £40 per ticket, but they are charging our fans £79 for away fans.

Some people suggesting we should just charge Atletico fans exactly what they are charging us and use the £39 extra to subsidise Arsenal’s away fans for their trip to Spain.

Man U did this last season and it sounds like a great idea.

We just had a morning breakfast news item from the UK about the hot day and how people were out enjoying the sunshine. I think this might be the turning point for our season. Suddenly our team puts it all together. The light is on - this is the omen we have been waiting for.

We thrash Atletico, we win the European trophy so many teams want to have in the boardroom, Wenger has his contract extended. Next season we do a clean sweep and win the lot. Goonie is carried into the stadium like a Greek God. On the other hand the weather could change tomorrow.

Reading that arsenal are charging Atletico away fans £40 per ticket, but they are charging our fans £79 for away fans.

Some people suggesting we should just charge Atletico fans exactly what they are charging us and use the £39 extra to subsidise Arsenal’s away fans for their trip to Spain.

Man U did this last season and it sounds like a great idea.


It's a brilliant idea but can you see the lazy wankers running our club even caring about the fans

The good thing abt Kroenke is that he doesn't interfere. But there has been changes in the background preparing for Wenger's eventual departure - appointment of Mislintat and two other guys whose names I can't remember. Plus our youths are in the Final.

As for Wenger, he has underperformed. Whoever our manager is next season, should be able to get at least 75 league points next season - we definitely have the players for that. Our away form this season is an anomaly.

As for our defence, I think Bellerin will stay, Kolasinac should improve and Monreal can give us one more season. If we can properly replace Mertesacker and relegate Koscielny to be our 4th CB with quality additions, our squad will be sttengthened significantly.

Kroenke is unambitious for trophies and gave Wenger a new contract. In my view that makes him a crap owner. So you think Wenger has underperformed but if we somehow fuke the Europa League you'd want him to stay? Hmmm! You think the squad we have should have more points than we do. I agree, but we haven't because of Wenger's mismanagement. I think that's a good reason to want him gone even if we do win the Europa League.


Wenger's KPI, I suspect is to qualify for CL. If winning the Europa League achieves this, no reason to sack him.

Wenger has underperformed. Our away form is abysmal. All I'm saying is we have a good squad that will perform better next season be it under Wenger or a new manager. Proper replacement for Mertesacker and we'll improve considerably. Don't think it's a coincidence we have not finished top four with Mertesacker hardly playing the past two seasons. We saw the difference he made in the FA Cup final.

And I'm not sure why it's so controversial to suggest the club is in good shape. We are still a big club that can attract likes of Aubameyang and Lacazette. The club has been preparing for Wenger's evnrtual departure. And we have good young players coming up.

Cheers Goonie, just differing opinions we have

I think one of his self imposed KPI's this season was to get 85 points.

I don't want Man Utd to get to 13 FA cup wins. Nor do I want Tottenham to get a trophy. Hmm...Okay, Tottenham wins the semi and loses to Southampton but problem is i doubt Soton gets to the final. I'll hold my nose and go with Chelsea if Soton loses.
