Well, Norwich don't seem likely to give us the miracle we needed but at least we're doing our part today. We've been absolutely dominant for the first 30 minutes. |

4-1 now, but it was all over for fourth before kick off. A season of progress and some promise despite the way it has ended. I hope the club have the sense to continue with another transfer window like last summer. We need to continue clearing out the dead wood and buying young talent willing to give everything for the cause. |

It would be nothing short of a miracle if Villa holds of City but would love to see it happen and Liverpool get a win. Quad still in play. |

I see there is an 'FA Trophy' being contested between Bromley and Wrexam. What the hell is that? Are they having so many cups now that its the U.S. version of 'every kid gets a trophy' thing? |

Well it was always delusional to hope that Norwich might get a result today. The current 0-5 amplifies that. In other news it is mega tense at Anfield right now. |

Villa up 2 nil. Are City going to blow it on the last day? Hilarious. Watching 3 games at once, mostly City and Liverpool back and forth. |

11 point gap down to Man Utd in 6th place. When so many pundits had them in the top three going into the season, I said I thought we were a lot closer to them than they were to Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City - but I did not expect this! |

We finish with a points total that gets 3rd in the last two seasons. Thank goodness City got their win. The idea of Liverpool doing the quadruple was unbearable |

Sunny day, pressure off, turn on the style. Some good performances but although Everton were on the beach it really emphasised how bad we were at Newcastle. Hard not to think that a couple of players in Jan, even on loan, would have been enough to get us over the line. Look at Spurs, two signings in Jan straight into their first team and produced the goods. Hey ho, another season bites the dust. |

It’s over. Big ride, good effort this season A couple of big players could make all the difference. If they could just get a ruthless killer up front things could really pop. It’s not a big a swing as people think. |

Lots of talk that Elneny has signed a 1 year deal with an option for a further year. Nothing official yet. |

I certainly didn't want them to win the quadruple, but I wanted them to beat City to the league. They are the only club in England who can go the distance with City. Without them, the league would be a procession. Also, they play more entertaining football. When it comes to fans, the Man Utd fans are far far more annoying than the Liverpool fans over here. I hope Madrid win the CL though. |

The idea of Liverpool doing the quadruple was unbearable Completely understand, the Liverpool fanbase in America is has grown massively over the years. My friends stateside are either always one of 4 clubs. City, Man Utd, Liverpool or Chelsea, with the latter being the older ones always. Their kids are all Liverpool or City fans. Glory hunting is a shameless pasttime among Americans. Unbearable as it would be, I personally hate Man Utd so much, I'd put up with it just so that the treble would be 2nd best. Wouldn't be what most fans would want but for me, I hate Man Utd that much. |

My highlight today was the Ødegaard goal and the clock end ultras who sang for 20 mins+ non stop. Lets hope the owners continue splashing the cash for the rebuild. Failiure to do so would be moronic in my opinion. |

Fans are going to look at this season as 3rd or 4th place lost or 5th place gained. I'm going the with the latter espcially based on our first month. 15th seemed more of a goal than 5th after the first month. Other than Moyes, I think Arteta did the best job in the league overall. The bar has been raised for Arteta. CL qualifying is now the new standard. Now we have to spend like a club that is CL qualifying. PS: Congrats to Vieira for beating Man Utd..loved it. Was watching at the end hoping they'd hang on, knowing if I did, I would likely jinx them.

But it was the fawning, stomach churning media frenzy about how wonderful Liverpool are that turns my gut. That’s why I worded it “how obnoxious the media hero worship of them is” |

Have a slight feeling we will see Mr Nketiah next season. Some slight words in what Mikel said indicate our possible intent. Just a hunch If we are going pretty big on a main striker I’m not sure the finances exist to sign another player as back up and you know Eddie can do this business in the europa/carabao cups all day long. I still have my reservations about him as a player outside the box but I’m not sure you can say that wouldn’t make sense |

Clear where the improvements need to be. That’s not just strikers that is for any attacking player. Start sticking away the chances we create at a top 4 level team (as we are with nearly all our other attacking stats) and we’d sail in to the top 4 easily

We have beaten Chelsea, Tottenham, Man Utd. We played City tough for a half. We aren't a club City looks past. They are up for us. It's not like they play Norwich and think its an easy game and get surprised. Same with Liverpool. Neither of the top two sides takes us lightly. I still say us playing Liverpool to a 0-0 draw with ten men in the cup is our best match. I can't think of another side in the league including City that could have withstood that pressure. Basically, even with this squad that obviously needs improvement, we are good enough for top 4, top 3 possibly. Its consistency. The 3 losses while fighting for 4th were shocking and a revelation perhaps. They were far more significant to me than the 3 losses at the beginning of the season. Its one of those intangibles that has been in the club for several years now. We saw it towards the end of Wenger's reign, during Emery's reign and now with Arteta. Sure, Man Utd and Tottenham have had bad patches similar to that but they were clubs in transition, with managers (OGS for example) that were obviously not a fit, having holes in their first XI, etc. Maybe I'm looking through Arsenal tinted lens but we seemed different, worse. New, better quality players can come in but as I've always said, unless we can address those intangibles that makes me question the squad's mettle, desire and ambition, I don't think we can put together a full season or a permanent turnaround. Newcastle has a gazillion amount of pounds and will be challenging for a Europa spot next season if they buy well. It's just a matter who is available and if they will buy into the project. They have the money. They have the manager to do it. So, they will be an added challenger next season probably. West Ham continues to seemingly punch above their weight and with them going far into Europe will be able to attract better players and having additional funds. Leicester will be back at some point I think. They also have a dynamic manager. Point is, if we don't get our act together we may be back to 8th or even 9th. Maybe a few points off 6th or or so but still down in the table. It will also be interesting how we balance Europe and the domestic competitions. I don't think we'll be able to do it well I'm guessng but I am also hoping it means we have dig deep into the squad of younger players and some of the better younger ones will be able to prove themselves with more minutes. |
