    You’re stating this from the perspective of a fan for a team who have won multiple recent Premier League titles and who have more depth than the French National Team.

    If Arsenal were 5 points behind City, I’d be pretty bummed about crashing out of Europa. This is Arsenal’s first title challenge in 15 years, and while the team is young, there is absolutely no guarantee that they’ll be in a similar position in future seasons. The team is also very thin, and lost two players yesterday (and losing both Tomi and Saliba means that White can’t just slide over to RCB to cover or that there is a big hole at RB). Not to tempt fate, but cache of qualifying for UCL next year is meaningless given Arsenal’s position in the table with 11 games to go.

    In short, I’d love to win Europa in a vacuum, but Arsenal’s present circumstances make Europa more of an unwanted hindrance towards a goal I think anyone would consider more important.

    I will have to edit it when he comes to grips with his identity and admits he is, in fact, a gunner

    Can’t wait to see his post ratios in our thread when they get relegated. I think relegation and Balogun will seal the deal. I’ve already started the process on obtaining restraining orders on the entire Reyna family. PM me if you can help.

    You said yesterday you knew what I was trying to do and I really had no idea what you were saying.
    I wasn’t trying to set anything up, I just was genuinely saying my brain just wasn’t understanding it and looking for any sort of explanation that would hopefully make sense

    was a fun and relatively well played match for finishing 1-0 and both fanbases should be pleased with the efforts

    Your squad also have no depth problems, I wanted to win yesterday but also realized how little margin of error our squad has.

    What bwi2 said made helped me understand much more from Arsenal’s POV this year.

    It seems to be the thought for most fans most years though even not in that situation is more where my confusion stems from.

    Though I suppose same thing about depth applies any year for any club if fighting for a top 4 spot in league. It would feel like leaving less up to chance to prioritize that than a 1 off cup final

    Real -210 to advance seems kinda crazy
    City is -195 vs Bayern

    Pep doesn’t typically choke till semis but still pretty ridiculous

    Do they just save and re-use that for Pep UCL matches?
