Whatever. Go waste your negative energy on someone else. Arsenal finished above Spurs and that's that. What you think might have happened in a alternate universe is of no matter to us. If Spurs hadn't blown a 7 point led they would be ahead of us, but they did.

Arsenal have had a lot more go against this season than Tottenham.

Only if Arthur is our manager

Edit Could we not play the DS girls and build from there?

Think the main problem for Spurs is they have 5 or 6 first team players that aren't very good. I mean Huddlestone c'mon really?

huddlestone actually won them points late on in the season.

Jesus! I thought it was embarrassing enough how they celebrated on the pitch like they had actually won something, now you show me this! It shows where Arsenal are now when their players celebrate coming 4th in the league like that.

beating your rivals to it is sweet. especially when your wounded, down on points and make yet another come back

Shadow Demon UK · 19-05-2013, 20:14

Yes, its sweet to beat your rivals, but at the end of the day they finished 4th. They've done well towards the end of the season and the teams above them are expected to be above them, so they have a right to be happy, but its still 4th, they celebrated as if they won a major competition. I don't think the United players celebrated as much when they won the league.

Am l a bitter fan, yes, it appears Arsenal have not worn any silverware for years and yet the board always stand by whinger Wenger.

I can now see Walcott going - but l can assure you that Levy, will NOT sell him.

He will offer Bale a whopiing £170.000 per week to stay - and l think he will accept it.

Bale is a home grown boy and will not want to leave Tottenham.

We can pretend the football world hasn't moved on but we know why top four is important. Look how dejected Spurs were and how happy they were then they got fourth a few years ago. After the season they were happy to confirm fourth.

Well they did but the goals were different for each team. Arsenal are still recovering from where they were. If United were in the same position they would be happy too. We don't all support teams that win all the time but we still take victories were we can.

Why? Football is relative. If you were an Arsenal supporter you would have different expectations than you do as a United fan. Arsenal had a torrid season, again, and that couldn't be addressed when we were adrift in midtable or 7 points behind Spurs. Spurs didn't collapse either, yet we went on a very good run to get fourth. So the players and fans are happy. It was wafer thin for weeks now, you're seeing relief at play.

We all want more than forth at the start of the season but there you go. This summer needs to see investment to ensure we're not here again and we have an advantage in that we have no big player to leave as we did the last two years.

Also when we say trophy all that really matters for a top club in the CL or the Premiership. I would rather be in the Champions League than win the FA Cup (as much as I do want to win the FA Cup).

This is what i'm talking about. Is he seriously buzzing because he finished 4th?
