Arsene has won his trophy

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 19 May 2013, 5:54 pm

At least Bale went out with a bang at Spurs

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 5:54 pm

Did say Arsenal would make 4th

by Guest Sun 19 May 2013, 5:54 pm

Once again a CL spot for Arsenal papers over the cracks.

Spurs' highest points total I believe?

by NickisBHAFC Sun 19 May 2013, 5:55 pm

Arsenal somehow in the champions league. Not deserved.

Can see Bale leaving now for sure.

How many Arsenal fans would swap their season for Wigans?

But for how long? Exciting times!

Very good last day to the season. Shame we didn't get a last minute wonder strike from Newcastle, that would of been epic.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 19 May 2013, 5:56 pm

Arsenal deserve it, they've been the form team in 2013

by Gregers Sun 19 May 2013, 5:57 pm

Spuds bottle the end of their season again, just not good enough again

Well done Arsenal, best 4 england sides in the cl again

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 5:57 pm

I'll say it.

I'd rather be 4th than win the FA/League Cup.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 19 May 2013, 5:58 pm

Upsetting day

Harper
Scholes
Fergie

Carragher

All retiring Sad

Lets all have lasagne let's all have lasagne na na na na na na na na

Genuinely think I might stop following football now Steve Harper has retired.

I'd forfeit a CL spot here and there for some silverware myself.

Obviously the money men would disagree.

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 6:01 pm

I'd rather be CL honestly. A cup win is nice, but the big clubs play in the CL.

by Hulking_up Sun 19 May 2013, 6:03 pm

I'm sorry but big clubs win Trophies.

by Hulking_up Sun 19 May 2013, 6:05 pm

I don't understand why Newcaslte are considered a big club though..

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 6:05 pm

Minnow Arsenal will play in the CL next year, while Giants Wigan and Birmingham play in the Championship, and the massive Pompy play in League 2.

Comparing Arsenal to Wigan/Birmingham/Pompy is a bit rich. Different stratospheres

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 6:07 pm

Big clubs win trophies after all Olly.

In Champions League terms you're not far wrong.

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 6:14 pm

Yeah, Arsenal have regressed from the title winning side, they've cut their cloth more to pay for a new stadium while City and Chelsea have invested heavily and United have kept on ticking. I'm not going to deny that.

But I'd rather be in the top 4 annually than 1 cup win followed by lower league oblivion.

by Guest Sun 19 May 2013, 6:14 pm

If there's one thing we've learnt today it's that a thread does indeed stretch longer than 21 pages.

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 6:15 pm

I knew it did Whistle

Course you did..

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 6:19 pm

Arsenal won 8 of their last 10, drawing with Everton and Man United. Don't think you can say they don't deserve it.

by Guest Sun 19 May 2013, 6:19 pm

Arsenal did hit form at the right time granted.

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 6:20 pm

Now its time for Arsenal to invest, need to pull away from the pack and bridge the gap to the top 3 while they all swap managers.

Jovetic is a story that keeps cropping up. Finding someone to play CB with Koscielny (Vermaelen is pants) and keeping Gibbs/Wilshere fit also on the agenda

by Guest Sun 19 May 2013, 6:21 pm

Interestingly Man City are ahead of Man Utd in the CL betting for next season.

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 6:23 pm

Pellegrini has been to a CL SF and QF with Vilarreal.

David Moyes has managed 2 games in the CL and lost both

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 6:24 pm

Coincidentally against Pellegrini's Vilarreal is memory serves actually

by The Special Juan Sun 19 May 2013, 6:25 pm

That was Everton, this is Utd. There's a big difference.

Yeah and Collina had a shocker if I remember correctly. His last match I believe?

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 6:30 pm

I am aware. That would be the reason why City are more favored in Europe while I imagine United are more backed for the PL.

by The Special Juan Sun 19 May 2013, 6:32 pm

Sorry I didn't see the post above picard

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 6:33 pm

Fair enough

by NickisBHAFC Sun 19 May 2013, 6:52 pm

I did really enjoy the final day today.

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 6:53 pm

Good day but lacked the drama really.

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 7:01 pm

Ancelotti to quit PSG to join Real apparently.

Madrid got the cream of the crop of managers on the move if its true.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 19 May 2013, 7:05 pm

Yeah it would of been later had Newcastle scored a 95th min Tiote volly.

by GSC Sun 19 May 2013, 7:05 pm

Yeah, you never really got the sense Newcastle were a threat once Arsenal took the lead.

This. Sunderland were throwing bodys on the line, but Newcastle were just treating it like a kick about down the park.
