Whilst it seemed all doom and gloom a quick look at the league table

I believe that 'fourth' is Arsenalfanese for 'second, third or fourth'.

You are, of course, quite correct. 2nd/3rd/4th really all feel the same when it's what happens every single year.

Oh - I know that, but I am a stickler for accuracy

[Sir C]

Just for the record - we have finished fourth 3 times in the last seven season. You are bored of finishing in a place we finish in less than 50 per cent of the time

And they say our supporters are spoilt, entitled brats!

It's not that, I wouldn't mind if we fought until the bitter end. But we're so mentally feeble that we give up half way through the season and then surge back to 3rd when the pressure is off. And then we're supposed to celebrate that as a victory? Fair enough if it was a one off and we usually finished 6th. But it's the same every year and we make no effort to improve on it.

[Peter]

shows that it's not so bad.

Whilst we may have been poor. we can't be crap all the time.

with one game hand on spurs if we win that we are only 3 points behind them. As wonderful as we told they are they only have the same points as City who are a bit crap apparently.

win both of our games in hand and we are above Liverpool.

We'll finish 3rd and win the Fa cup.

There are a few games left that are a concern. Away to Spurs, Stoke, Southampton. Home to United and City. I don't see many wins from those five.

Away to West Brom isn't going to be easy.

In other words, we are going to have to improve quickly if we want to finish in the top four.
