Any chance we can hire the same chef we had against the hammers to travel to Newcastle & serve the goons some lovely lasagne?

You know it ain't going to happen.
The goons will win by 3.

Think we should look to sell huddlestone, adebayour and parker and bring in mccarthy, clasie and benteke. And next season give some of our Youth players a chance like fryers, ceballos and pritchard.

Think levy should push through for mcmanaman now wigan are relegated, I reckon 6 mill + loan him back for a season would be a top deal for us so he can mature in what I feel is a tougher league overall compared to the prem. And the fact we already have townsend back to cover the wings for next season is very ideal.

Why would Newcastle not give 100%? Don't they owe their fantastic support a decent finish. Pardew is hanging on by a thread. No one can deny the Gooners are playing well but it ain't over till the Fat lady sings. All we can do is get behind the boys and make sure we get three points. COYS

new castle would suerly give 100%, but arsenal will walk over them with pace. they were hit 69 by liverpool with almost a complete squad.

If we don't get top 4 I fail to see how we can class this season as a success as some have suggested. I like AVB but he has certainly contributed 2 points dropped ie playing gallas consistently at the start of the season and as we learnt last yr a point can be the difference between champions league or europa.

As I posted earlier in not making top 4 this yr I think this would be the beginning of the end of us challenging for the top 4 with the likely investments of the teams around.

Team for nxt year pending top 4 finish ( hopeful thinking )

Lloris
Walker
Vert
Kaboul
Baines
Sandro
Dembele
Lennon
Bale
Erickkson
Benteke

Or not top 4 finish

Lloris
Walker
Vert
Kaboul
Rose
Sandro
Dembele
Lennon
Dempsey
Townsend
Ade

Have to disagree with the poster above.

1 - I honestly believe Bale will stay 1 more season even if we get 5th. The big clubs out there that can afford him are already doing business elsewhere. And can't see levy doing business with Real while they still owe us money for Modders.

2 - Baines would not come to us even with champions league football. he is happy at everton and can only see that changing if Moyes takes him to united.

3 - You imply that we will sign no1 if we finish 5th. Although we may not sign the hollywood signing we all want i'm sure AVB will delve into the market for a Midfielder and a Striker

Again I totally disagree with original poster.
How can you call a possible record points haul not a success?
Again, we may be dealt very bad luck by being the first club over 70 points without a top 4 finish.
Avb is very highly regarded around Europe. As is gareth bale. Those 2 names alone WILL attract players to our club. We need to get over this 'what if' attitude we always have. We have accumulated nearly 2 points per match.
Yes we lost to Fulham at home but we beat Manchester United away. It evens itself out.
I for one think it had been a great season and I can't wait for August when we get going again.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think bale will give us one more season to step up, I think nither of our left backs are good enough avb will buy a left bk, also a striker and he will maybe buy a left winger/ forward maybe remy as he is good and cheap.

lloris

walker daw/kab vert ? rose

sandro dembele


townsend remy
bale

striker?



what does everyone else think we have been linked to every striker u can think off, if u wondering why no lennon he would b on the bench as cover he has improved this season but is not good enough for what we want he gets himself in such good areas but can't shoot or pass townsend and remy could come in off the wings and scores lots of goals and create lots of chances? imo guys

Agree0 Disagree0

I am the original poster & I think my point was slightly missed. Yes it's good that we may get our best points total but to call that a success suggests small club mentality.
We have been on the brink for the last few season of being consistently in the champions league but we have been let down in progressing 2 the next level that chance If we miss out on top 4 I fear will just slip away further.
The poster says about AVB getting us a striker is that the same striker that every tottenham fan knows we have needed since berbatov left?
I hope bale stays but he would every right to leave & think he should ask the club to match his ambition.
I always get behing the team but to call the season a success if we miss out suggest some people are looking through rise tinted glasses

I think we need to look at the following as a team for next year:

Lloris
Walker
Vertongen
Kaboul
? - LB possibly rose but is he good enough?
Sandro
Dembele
Bale
Sigurdsson
RW?
Striker?

Subs:
Archer
Fryers
Dawson
Lennon
Holtby
Townsend
Coubially
Defoe

I personally would like a stronger bench but don't see it happening unless we get rid of a lot of dead wood.

Need a LB but give rose a chance he has looked good this season - don't think they would sell him but Luke Shaw of southampton looks a good shout.

Sigurdsson I believe will keep getting better. What he does very well though is track back which if we had danny rose he could cover his forward runs and help on the defensive side.

I am a fan of Lennon but is he good enough for top 4? I don't know. When him and walker are on song the pace down that wing is phenominal however is the end product there? Be good to see someone come in and take lennons place and see how lennon then steps up. Also bale sigurddson and another could all interchange in an attacking 3 midfielders. lennon struggles with that.

Striker - We have been saying for seasons we need a goal scorer. like previously stated since berbatov. Levy won't pay big money for a world class striker so we need to buy young with bags of potential. I see 3 likely targets:

1 - Matej Vydra on loan at watford bags of ability and scores for fun in the championship could make the step up and possibly available should they not get promoted.
2 - Christian Benteke of Villa good at holding the play up but also running at a defender and great in the air. just what we need. looks young and hungry but price may be the problem
3 - Lukaku on loan at West Brom. great player again v similar to benteke. If chelsea spend big falcao etc he may be surplus to requirements. Only problem is apparently him and AVB didn't get on at Chelsea? this could just be papertalk. However with Dembele and Vertongen at spurs also Belgium internationals we may be able to sway him?

All my opinion - unfortunately i'm not in the know like Oracle

So basically it's up to arsenal if we have a successful season or not.
72 points 4th = success
72 points 5th = not a good season.
I don't think it is small club mentality to say its been a successful season, perhaps the 4 teams above us just might be that little bit better or luckier than us. Our budget and stadium is a lot smaller than the clubs above us but again we are fighting to the death.
I think you are looking for excuses if we miss out on CL but what will be, will be.

Agree0 Disagree0

Rose is definately good enough. Get the money spent on a CB for cover, then Vertonghen can cover LB as well. Sorted.

Agree0 Disagree0

Zeki fryers has been very good at LB in the unders 21's this season.
In my opinion, he will be our LB next season.

Im pretty sure R Madrid paid in full in one payment for Modric, Levy insisted on it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Paul, that's a shocking team, northern spurs those 3 will not be signed! And did someone mention remy?

Agree0 Disagree0

Luke Shaw and Lukaku to Spurs isn't going to happen.

Arsenal fan here people,
Well it's now down to the final games and good luck to all.
Please remember that whoever gets 4th, it's not a guarantee to get past the qualifier, remember there is a lot more and better teams entering that stage.

It's all over, Newcastle will roll-over. They were lucky to bea QPR and currently one of the worst sides in the league. Wigan are unlucky given lack of resource and a lot of injuries plus FA Cup commitments all the way into May. Reading and QPR poor, Villa re-building and showing some promise. £ for £ and overall, the Toon have been shocking. They owe it to their own integrity to have a real go on Sunday but I don't think they have it in them. Their fans must be unhappy, maybe a big Europa League hangover caused it.
