It's official, better season than team A, B and C...

Dear Arsenal Fans,

Welcome to the Europa League.

Here are a few things you might want to know about the Europa. They will come handy.

1. There is no match preview in the Europa League until you reach the semi finals. So make sure you only tune in to your game at the dot of kick-off.

2. Kick-off times in the Europa are awkward. Sometimes the match will kick-off at 18:20 pm if you're playing against Metallist Kharkiv in Ukraine sometimes the match will kick-off at 21:09 pm. So wives, if your Arsenal husbands are asking for a remote at 19:17 pm on a Thursday, its that Europa match.

3. Gent FC and Genk FC are two different teams.

4. There's no half time review in the Europa League. if you're lucky you'll switch to Channel 202 and you'll find some horseracing.

5. At the end of the match, if you'll be lucky you will be shown some highlights of other Thursday matches. But the highlights don't have commentary. It's like watching YouTube highlights at the office since you switch off the sound.

6. There's a football league in Liechtenstein. Yeah, that's a European country my friend.

7. Viitorul, CS U Craiiova and Nordsjaelland are real football teams in Europe.

8. One time you'll be playing in Romania on a football pitch worse than brondby FC two days later you're battling it out against Jefferson Montero and Ki at Swansea.

Finally, your Fridays will no longer be the same anymore after sleeping very late watching drab football between your team and FC Klistiansund.

Welcome to Thursday night football

My point is that we are not '3 or 4 years' back. We are in 2017, when the EL Cup gives you CL qualification. So, second rate or not, it's a cup with value especially when you are involved in a CL qualification battle involving Chelsea, City, Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Right. But it was a hypothetical point. Like I said, theyre not everyone's cup of tea.

You do realize you're making the most obvious point? Of course a player wouldn't join a club despite their history, ambition, squad bla bla if they don't have the means. Who is even disputing that? Do you want everyone to agree if the wages/fee offered by us and City/Chelsea he'd pick Chelsea, City and United in that order? What difference does it make to you?

Realistically speaking terms offered by 2 clubs can never be the same, one club will always offer more/less money than the other. Did you miss the entirety of Pogba saga last summer? When Real Madrid of all clubs bowed out as they couldn't compete with the financial package offered by United?

Well, that kind of proves my point about money being the most important factor, doesn't it?

Thought you'd written a great post until that last bit... still funny though.
 
I'd argue yes, better than anyone except Chelsea, although Spurs have been fantastic and I'm still envious of their form over 38 games that we were nowhere near.
 
Yes. You've achieved the same thing they did, AND you got to work on your "bending slightly to get a medal" poses.
