15th I think it is now.
Big loss to one of their main rivals for 4th.

Arsenals chances of a top 4 finish this season

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Is this at the end of the 10 year plan?
Goal difference of -6.
You simply can't defend at this level with that defensive line. It beggars belief they leave that space in behind their slow CBs.
The goalkeeper made 4 world class saves today to spare their blushes. Mental.

That means they have a GD of 0 if it wasn't for the trashing we gave them.
On course for midtable methinks.
Yep could have been another thrashing. Away from home, Arsene Wenger needs to address the problems they are having.
So is this still happening now?
top 4, they might not even make it to Europe, their league form since february has been really horrible.
According to the table, Arsenal are not even the 4th best team in London.
You mean if we wouldn't have won? Pretty big if.

slow one at that. pete you posted something like - anderson is not a cm. is ramsey? looked like he is going backwards like the arse. i thought that song played better than most of arse Cb's have all season.

They have won only four league games since Carling Cup final in February. 4 out of 18.
Just pointing out that their GD isn't that bad if you take away the 8-2.
A GD close to 0 tends to mean midtable obscurity.
We were better than Spurs today - robbed of at least a point by the ref (again).
No more than a mid table out fit now. Their defence is an utter shambles.
Spurs could have scored five.
I'l be very surprised if they finished 4th. Both spurs and pool are comfortably better tbh and the customary RVP injury is yet to come. i shudder to think of this arsenal side without him.
Spurs actually scored one with a freak late swerve and were gifted a ridiculous handball goal for which VdV should have got a second booking and a red card.
Arsenal simply did not respond after going 2-1 down. I would have expect a barrage of attacks at the Spurs goal in the last 10 mins but it never came. The Arsenal of 3 or 4 years ago would have eeked out a equaliser somehow
Even if that was true, you do realise that handball is not a de facto yellow card, right?
Just looking back on our bet pete and it's actually a bit unclear.
It's £100, £75 to the winner and £25 to the Caf, but can we just clarify the actual bet. I was predicting out of the top four, you were predicting a top four finish however looking back in hindsight it looks like I was predicting exactly 5th.
If that's the case, I assume Arsenal Top 4 Finish = You win. Arsenal come 5th = I win.
I'd like to clarify I thought the bet was a simple Top 4 = You win, not Top 4 = I win, but if that wasn't made clear then I understand if you dispute it and I can't say I am actually worried about having to pay out
That was a classic yellow :handballing to get a goalscoring chance, stop a break-away, stop a goal-scoring chance.
That's a bit stretching, isn't it? If Van der Vaart was sent off, you would have never scored the goal
You were predicting 5 or lower in my book (as I was predicting 4 or higher). I'm still confident (you can lay off with betfair to win either way up).Just looking back on our bet pete and it's actually a bit unclear.

You only have to look at the many desperate saves that your GK had to make compared to Friedel to see that your comment is wide of the mark. If not for Szczesny, Spurs would have won by 2 or 3 clear goals.
The accelerating decline of Arsenal is awesome to behold: now just 3 places above the relegation zone, minus 6 GD and 5 points behind Spurs already (effectively 6 points behind given GD) ... having played a game more and with an easier set of fixtures.
Spurs didn't play that well today, but it was still enough to beat a poor Arsenal side.
Well strictly on goals we'd have got a at least a draw and I fancy we'd have beat a 10-man Spurs since we outplayed the 11-man version (mind you taking the field with Defoe means you're effectively a man down before you start).That's a bit stretching, isn't it? If Van der Vaart was sent off, you would have never scored the goal
We're 7 games into the season. Arsenal will finish top 4, their so called 'decline' is being massively overplayed. Much like ours was circa 2005.
Aye that's what I thought the bet was. I've just cleared out my Will Hill account so when it's cleared into my account I'll put £100 of it into a betfair, although I have no idea how we get £25 to the Caf.
And they also created far more chances, looked far more organised and deserved to win by 3 or 4 goals. Arsenal looked a complete mess at the back-again!
We were the better side - you only won at home by cheating.
Their rubbish period is February-March.
There's a button for donations at the bottom of the caf (I fecked up the exchange rate last time and overpaid the buggers).
Except that's another myth.
am just glad you make it obvious. takes the irritating bit out of the equation.
They didn't look all that bad today. Lack creativity in midfield. They're all over the place at the back, but then so are we when we're missing key defenders.
Whatever comforts you .... but on another day at least 2 of the other Spurs strikes would have gone in anyhow.
I'll leave you with this thought from Yido_Sam on COYS: "I think after the 8-2 jokes went on 4-3 weeks, Arsenal have just turned in 2-1 big joke now!"
I'm sticking to a 5th place for them. the team is slowly coming together. players getting an understanding.
they looked alright today, playing their hated rivals.
