Relax Arsenal it’s Liverpool in danger from Man United

I know that Arsenal fans will be disappointed if the Gunners finish in fourth place in the Premier League again, but maybe we should be a bit more grateful for the fact that Arsene Wenger has always kept us in that Champions League spot, even though it has been by the skin of our teeth at times.

If you need any further reason to be proud of record, look at Liverpool who have not been able to dine at Europe’s top table for five years. And then look at Man United, whose fall from grace was so big that they didn’t even make the Europa League.

So while I an hoping and feeling quietly confident, especially after yesterday’s stirring victory at high flying Aston Villa, that Arsenal can go at least one place better this season, I will be fairly happy if we finish in the top four again.

The main threat to that is the new Man United, boosted by some stellar signings and without the pressure of midweek European games to worry about. But that easire fixture schedule is the reason why Liverpool were able to stay fresh, keep the same starting XI and go on such a great run in the latter half of last season. But now their boss has admitted that they are unlikely to repeat that this time.

At the same time, the Gunners were ravaged by injury and fatigue and it so nearly cost us, but we are used to it and Brendan Rodgers and his team are not. They are already struggling and have only played one UCL game. So Arsenal fans can relax, because if Man United bounce back into the top four, and I think they will, it will be the scousers who miss out, not the Gunners.

  1. I would rather have Liverpool/ Everton hell even Spurs rather than United.

    Come on Lesctier don’t spoil my week.

  2. The Strong compare them self with the Strong, the weak do it with the poor and weak. You sir need to shu the f*** up with our lousy loser mentality.

    I will be happy to end up in the 4th place again, geee what a loser.

    1. Realistically, 3rd place is the best we can hope for this year. If you want to dream go ahead but don’t call realists losers.

      2. “Angel Di CHUTIYA”

        I just can’t stop laughing. Made my day.

        Been a long time since I’ve heard such a term.

        Thanks!!!

  16. Leicester have a 4th!!! Anyine hear van galls pre match speel? I knoe leicester really well ive analysed them several times. Course you have you arrogant twat thats your job you dont have to brag about it, vile man!

  18. 5-3 Leicester. Looking like United will have dropped 10 points already, before they’ve even played a top half side, let alone a top 4 side.

    1. Reporters from Sky Sports and the Telegraph had the gall to call ManU the “new Gaalacticos”.

      First, they had RVP, then LVG, now they’re RIP.

  23. Someone should welcome Falcao, Blind, and Di Maria to Premier League world. This weekend is getting much better. Even the noisey neighbor are loosing.

  26. Arsene please sign tyler blackett, he’s the future england captain hahahahahaha* I’m just kidding o*

  27. Come on City, do us some favor and smash the arrogant manager. Someone has to break chelsea momentum
    City fan only for 90 min

  29. Goes to show how much defense is important. No matter you have ronaldo and messi in the same team but with sh#t defense you are not gonna win anything..We are all laughing but at the same time I dread the day when our defensive bubble bursts!! Hope it never comes to that.

    1. @Invincibles49
      Exactly. And all that “World Class” players BS don’t mean a damn thing. How many WC players do Leicester have. Yet they made some world class dudes look ordinary on the day…

  30. Chelsea have hard games coming up against City,Villa,Arsenal and Crystal Palace, I don’t think they will get more than 7 points in those four games.

      1. Villa and Palace are bogey teams for them, they were last season. Both home and away Villa and Palace gave them good games and took points from them. But then again there is no Pulis at Palace this time round.

  32. Analyse that van gall 🙂 man u the arsenal of last year? Strong offensively but likely to ship many goals.

  33. Arsenal winning man u losing, (badly) spurs losing 🙂 just need city to beat jose and my weekends made 🙂

  35. Wow couldn’t imagine this weekend unfolding like this.
    Liverpool lost
    Man Utd lost
    Spurs lost
    City vs Chelsea? Someone has to give and hopefully it’s Chelsea honestly.
    Yet I’m sure come Monday critics will find a way to down Arsenal and turn a blind eye to the rest…

    1. @JAmerican
      Pundits will probably claim the Man U players had a virus or something dodgy in their water bottles…Lmfao

  36. At the end of the season it will be tight for top four. Any of these clubs will compete for the 4 spots: chelsea, mc, mu, pool, everton southampton and arsenal.

  38. Welcome Di Maria, Falcao, Blind, Herrera, Rojo and Specially Van Gaal to the Premier League where everything is possible.

  40. Great win for leicester in an early relegation battle lol. If we managed our transfers poorly, let’s not even mention united! I believe that the top three will be between us city and chelshit for sure, we’re the least of title contenders but we can make a push and win it, remember it’s the premier league, where magic happens and we have magic players!

  43. My simple observation/deduction 30 minutes
    in…….

    FERNANDINHO….MATIC…..arteta

    Buy Carvalho or Schenderlien and Fabian
    Scharr and the Gunners have a chance

  44. I am surprised at how little criticism Man U, Pool and Van Gaal get.

    If it were us, we would be crucified.

    5-3 to Lei and we were torn apart for 6-3 to City.

    Maybe we can’t beat the big teams, but you guaranteed more points by beating all the little teams.

      1. it was really so bad, we didn’t play well that day and also you have to agree LEI was not as good as today

    2. The way Wenger repeats his mistakes and not acknowledge others advises and criticisms due to his unlimited stubbornness, makes the media hates and targets us.
      If I’m not Arsenal fan and have a sympathy towards Arsenal, that little sympathy will gone just after end of transfer windows

  45. I hope top four are:

    City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton in no particular order.

    Shut Spurs, United and Pool up.

    shut up Owen and Gerrard.

    United would surely not get anymore top playerd

    1. @CraigZWE
      They’ll just pay over the top for more players as well as give them outrageous salaries. Guaranteed to get just about any player out there nowadays. Just ask Shaw, Falcao and DiMaria…

    2. Everton does not have the depth to finish in the top 4. ManU will sort it out and they will buy quality defenders in January.

  53. After the Lei v Man Utd game, makes you laugh at some prats on this forum who were moaning about Arsenal killing the game against Villa after they went 3-0 up….professional.

    3. Maureen’s going for the same result as last season.
      There’s still hope. Mansour City is pressing hard.

  57. Arsenal win big away
    Spuds lose
    United lose to Leicester 5-3
    Liverpool lose
    Chelski v Citeh?

    Anything but a Chelski win would make this a PERFECT weekend

  58. We are a matic/fernando and cahil/kompany away from being contenders. I think chelsea will win the pl this year, prolific going forward when they want to, but able to professionally park the bus when needed. They have the experience and players to do this for 90 mins we dont 🙁

  73. Not even a dirty game…that baldy twat who never got picked for a team at school walking about smirking….wasted a perfectly good game.

  74. Wish we could swap chelseas defensive coach with ours, fack it I hate chelsea and mou tactical masters though.

  85. And my weekend is complete, lampard you facking beauty!! Let’s remember this weekend gooners. Looking forward to motd tonight.

  86. Perfect weekend.

    We just need to beat Spurs and Chelsea and we in it till January and hopefully Wenger strengthens

  89. I think sitting here knowing that we can’t win the EPL after all the years gone says a lot about the board and about AW. I don’t think he has any class left. Yes AW runs the club top to bottom and even makes tea yep it’s true he gets up and makes tea lol but it’s time he did deans old job and get a young coach to run the team. I don’t no who maybe a Dutch striker that once played for this once great team

  90. All results this weekend have been perfect for us. Spuds losing, Everton losing, Liverpool losing, MU losing, MC and Chelski drawing and us winning. I couldn’t have written it better. WOW!! We were the only ones out of the clubs in Europe (excluding MU of course) to have won!
