Quit moaning and win the CL.

Get knocked out round 16 of the CL!
In the CL you're measured against the best of the best, in the Europa you're measured against the best of the rest which is quite a drop.

If you didn't earn so much more money for qualifying for the CL, would you think the same?
I don't see why you'd hate the story in MGS2. It's meant to be absurd. It's meant to highlight the exaggerations of Hollywood stories and make you question the relationship of player and character, the value and meaning of character backgrounds. A stolen nuke, a giant aquatic mech crashing into NYC, etc.
It's kind of like a Thomas Pynchon novel the story is pulpy and crazy, the characters all have silly names that throw the value of naming conventions into question, and what you take away isn't that the story was sweet, but it's still compelling and there's a lot to digest.

The obvious answer is to qualify for CL group stage, drop down and win the Europa League.
Yes.
What's better. Challenging and losing to Bayern Munich and clubs of such quality or playing against all the teams that never measured up?

Winning a trophy. Your brain has been clouded by the persistent notion of trophies being an expendable afterthought in the wake of CL qualification
Wooden knows it takes more than that to win over my affection.
I wouldn't pull that one as an Arsenal fan because you'll be playing "teams that never measured up" next season at this rate.
Europa league can produce some really great matches. Don't knock it till you've tried it.
No it hasn't. The thing is a side like Arsenal should have a squad capable of doing both but CL qualification should take priority. Spurs can win the Europa league but haven't got a hope or prayer of winning the CL no matter what they do in the summer so by your reasoning they should want to finish 5th so they can try win another trophy?

That wasn't the question :s
If the question was 'would you rather get as far as you can in the CL, or win the Europa League?' you'd have a point. It wasn't though, so you don't.
Err this is like having lovely steak for dinner and being told not go knock tomato soup until you've tried it...I wouldn't pull that one as an Arsenal fan because you'll be playing "teams that never measured up" next season at this rate.

Not like Arsenal consistently challenge for the CL. Their record is actually pretty pathetic for a club that has qualified however many times in a row. One final and one other semi final isn't exactly awe inspiring.
No it's not. It's very disappointing and our biggest disappointment under Wenger but you have to be in it to have a shot at getting further in it.

To take that metaphor further
Arsenal are starving, withering away year on year
You've been given a choice between
A) A nutritious bowl of soup and side of fresh-baked bread, enough to nourish you for 5 years
B) A single egg of caviar, which you will have forgotten about within an hour
And you'd go for the caviar

Of course not, who would we bring in anyway?

There's no chance Wenger will be gone before the end of the season, unless its by his own accord
Whats your thoughts on the Europa league or the thought of us being lumped in it?
And I honestly can't see Wenger going before the end of next season at the earliest and when he goes we better be in the CL.
If Spurs make the CL it will take a mega bid to get him.

man that would be my dream
if the fat fuck joined Arsenal, he would complete the trifecta of leaving behind liverpool, chelsea AND arsenal as complete non threat midtable fodders.
inter would just be a bonus
MGS-GAF genuinely considers the story 'Oscar worthy'. And that MGR ruined a brilliantly woven plot.

Dennis Reynolds? That is true, his DENNIS system v2 will truly be revolutionary.
As a fan? Winning the Europa League is much better than getting knocked out of the Champions league because you too are a team that hasn't measured up for a number of years.
It's about time Arsenal as a club and it's fans stop the stupid fucking notion that finishing in the top four is enough season after season. Top football clubs exist to win trophies, not to earn the right to be shit on by Europe's best. This all being said - Arsenal aren't good enough to win the Europa league anyway.

It's already on YouTube
Yes. That's a camera on his head, yes there will be videos from his view point in training. Exclusively on the worlds greatest website.
-.- better not be injured after that.
WAIT WHAT!? Did I miss the email?!
Edit: I'm resigning.
Edit 2: Skipped too far in video, saw Sinclair in training. I get the impression he's like the kid at school who was always picked last

Creepy-Milan time: today, Bryan Cristante (one of the best players in our youth squad) signed his first contract until 2018. This is the cake that Milan made to celebrate him:
I'll have a few nightmares tonight.
Here are the accounts. I should expect Swiss Ramble will explain them in detail soon enough

10 month fiscal year and no inclusion of the warrior deal. Probably a good reason for that, right?

Sim City in 5 hours time with VPN.
Very first page "loss on disposal of player registrations £1.7million (year ended 2011 £40million profit)". Despite this the Loss before taxation has gone from £49million to £40million.
The new one looks class.
