Yeah they're not in juggernaut/unbeatable form this season, but they've got proven winners in that side and they can see the finishing line.
I think Wenger has lost the plot. He just seems reluctant to use our resources to cross the finish line. He seems to have lost something over the years. There's nobody to stand up to him and tell him he is wrong etc. Miss David Dein.
No, you've be expecting Arsenal to slip for a fucking long time.

don't worry, Newcasten is fuckin useless.
What they do have is quite a strong and consistent 11 with a manager that actually has the fans backing (for now).
They've acquired the right ingredients over the last two seasons to maintain a top four finish.
As well as being our best player (by a comfortable distance) he was also a big dressing room leader. By all accounts he was the leader of the French contingent, so pretty much 70% of the squad. In regards to Pardew I really don't want him in charge past the end of this season, the only scary part about that is who we'd get to replace him. Logically going all out to get Moyes in would be great, but I really can't see him wanting to work with the limited funds and lack of ambition from the heirachy.

Now that I think about it. How likely is it for another title race to end with goal difference? I'm guessing it's not going to happen. One of them will drop some points to decide the title.
That was even more humiliating. Well, I guess we made up for it last year.

Last years Bayern were probably the best team of all time but I cant really blame Pep for his idea of possession is the best defence. It looks boring and I hope for his sake, that he streamlines the attacks to a more straight forward way. For neutral viewers something like Valencia or Werder Bremen might be the best thing to watch, but as a Bayern fan, its a good sign when its boring.
Yeah because using skybets will make you a millionaire.
That's pretty absurd to me.
The table doesn't lie, Arsenal at the moment are better than United. Sure, you can say with a different manger, with new signings United could overhaul them, but those things have not happened and bookmakers should wait until they do to place United above Arsenal.

If we loose it on goal difference we can only blame our poor defence which after years still hasn't been recitified

You don't want to know how much pain I have in my stomach/belly, so I would be happy if this was confirmed
After Years?
2 seasons ago the defence was the high point of the Kenny/Clarke team.
Last season there were deficiencies, but in the summer transfer window this was addressed with 9million on Mignolet and 18million on Sakho. Your statement is bizarre.
Liverpool will go into the final game with one of the best goal differences in Premier League history. It would be City's success, rather than a failure of Liverpool, that causes the loss.

Yeah years, there's always been a part of our defence which has been a weakness most of the time left back, even our better defenders mess up at times too.
I can't even count the amount of times over the years our defence went completely shaky and started scrambling balls in our half when under pressure

Madrid got this.
I don't see that Bayern's defense is good enough to not concede. And their attack will struggle to make up for that.

If we make it, will you wear a Pep avatar?
He was our best player by a country mile and crucial to any success we had in the first half of the season (and even during the season we finished 5th). Selling him and not getting a replacement fucked the team over completely. You can blame the players for not having a backbone and adjusting but some teams collapse when a crucial cog is no longer around, regardless how much the rest of the team try. Gosling ain't no Cabaye. We lacked any semblance of fluid play and went back to good old hoof ball the moment Yohan departed. Coupled with a ton of injuries (hurrdurrdoicare), it was a melting pot of gash.
The rest of the players failed to adjust, some of them probably thought fuck it (Debuchy no doubt as he's best friends with Cabaye and hasn't ruled out a move in the Summer) and planned their great escape in the Summer too.
It's baffling. That season we finished 5th and the first half of this season showed that we're capable of something. Not even Pardew can get shit right for a long period of time though. As if he forgets what he gets the players to do. Probably wakes up in the morning, has his weetabix and wonders what he forgot the previous day. "Oh well, long balls it is!"
Like I said, some ridiculous Graham Carr recommendations and we could find ourselves doing a Euro push again next season. Or, because of one wrong move we could find ourselves fighting relegation. We won't have useful players like Debuchy, Remy and Coloccini (though all 3 along with the majority of the other better performers tapered off) next season though most likely. :lol
That is the life is Newcastle United.
he is right
Welcome to Bayern Munich David Luiz and Pique!
Arsenal couldn't even beat the worse United in 20-odd years and continually lost by 5 or 6 goals to the top sides. They remain in the top 4 due to United and Spurs under-performing massively from expectations.
The FA Cup and a good summer could help them a lot though. It seems like this season proved a lot of a teams performance can be down to their mindstate.
I think we will reach the semis in the next few years too, so we might win this trophy again, but honestly, I cant see us defending it this year. Well, at least the pain of losing it to Chelsea will be avoided.
Eriksen
He's class, but I can't think of any clubs that have a bigger status than Arsenal and could accommodate him in their first team?

No thanks.
I guess UEFA loves the drama of clubs losing finals on their home turf
I forgot that that you're such a Spaßbremse :/
You fucking turd. We lost 0 home games against any top team. Only Villa beat us at the Emirates and we had Anthony Taylor to thank for that. It's our away form that needs improving but news flash? Liverpool lost all their away games to the other top 3 teams.
You clowns are selective in what you want to nitpick.
And we've finished ahead of Spurs for 19 consecutive years. That's not fluke.
Honestly its so annoying when people say its because other teams underperforming. At the end of the day a club can only blame itself for where they are. The table doesnt lie. Its a marathon not a sprint. Spurs don't under perform they're just shit or they just expect too much for a mediocre team. United...well this season may just be a blip...who knows.

If United and Spurs underperformed to expectations then expectations should be adjusted downwards to form a new anchor point for adjustment.
Come on now, losing 6-3, 5-1, and 6-0 isn't form, it's weakness, it's naivety, and it's not just this season.
You know he's right.

Bb we just sacked our anchor.
Blinding ambition? There's a reason why our 3rd and 4th finishes have gotten us criticism and thats because we're a much bigger club not fulfilling their potential or maximising their resources but managerial changes need to be handled with care as United are finding out.
I just don't accept the attacks on our club by you lot saying the same thing over and over and over again.
Top 4 is minimum requirement though and we always achieve this. Had Moyes achieved this he would still be employed.
It showed tactical nativity from Wenger more than anything else.
Also I will never take seriously the opinion of someone like Scholes. Gary Neville is the only United man worth taking seriously.

Moyes was never going to achieve it. Because he's shit.

or maybe you found your level and the league title 10 years ago was overachieving?

best part is them pushing forward to Wednesday a meeting that was scheduled to May 15th JUST to review Juve's complaint against Enzo and possibly keeping our best and most creative midfielder out of the match if Benfica doesn't issue a defense within the allowed period. i imagine they wouldn't give a fuck if we filed a complaint for the stone wall pen that the ref denied us last week. "human error" innit.
it's like i say, a ref running around in a Juve kit would've been less obvious.

Hi m8
With his prior injury record, that signing would give doicare a stroke.
United took 4 points from Arsenal. Everton took 4 points from Arsenal, and played you off the park with olé football.
Your form against these teams is a huge problem. Because you'd be right in the title chase by winning these "big" games. Arsenal are flat track bullies.
Spurs are Spurs, and will remain so, but at least they're trying, adapting and changing... Failing, but still.
