The arsenal team to me is starting to look Liverpool did a couple of years ago, too many players needing replacing. I hope for Arsenals sake they can plug those holes before it is too late. A few years ago there was only really 4 teams in the Premier League, so Champions League football was a given to them every year. No doubt United will sort their **** out in the summer and add in Spurs there is 6 strong teams in the League all looking for those top 4 slots.

It's hard to fault Wenger for standing by his guns and refusing to make teams pay more than he wants. But what he needs to realise is that if he wants someone that plays for a team that do not want to, or needs to sell then he needs to make an offer they can't refuse. A bit like the Bale transfer, Real wanted him and knew they would need to pay over the odds to make Spurs part with him...

What he needs to do is retire.

Whist I applaud your loyalty do you really really believe that Wenger is the best manager in the world today. Forget past achievements or how he has built a new stadium, my question is based purely on how the team plays, tactics and results.

I do think Wenger needs to adapt a bit more and realise whilst his philosophy is very commendable ( beautiful passing football and a shoestring budget ) he will need to get in a few "dirty" players and play ugly - if not then he could possibly time for him to move upstairs. Klopp would be the perfect replacement but the list would be very short .

It's all well and good playing so called beautiful football if you actually win something whilst doing it. Arsene as spent more than enough to win a cup in the last 8yrs or so.

Starting with Flamini on the bench on Saturday was a big tactical error for me, we'll never know if he could have turned a 6-0 loss into a win but would have made those early goals a lot harder to come by!
Arsenal should have approached the game at Stamford Bridge the way Chelsea did the one at The Emirates.

Maybe it is, as a Liverpool I would have been more than happy with that this year. But what about next year? Spurs are hot on your heels at the minute and if United sort themself out they will be back fighting for a top 4 slot. Liverpool are already looking at players that will improve not just the squad but hte starting 11. Chelsea and City are given to stay up there in the top 4. So 4 teams will be fighting for 2 positions.

Arsenal were supposed to definitely miss out this season given Spurs spending Arsenal now have money and there own money not some sugar daddy's it will be interesting to see what happens with it, the only worry is the amount of injuries we had this season far more than any other club and losing Ramsey who was statistically the best player in the premier league by a mile was a massive blow.
FA cup and top4 will be a good season
I don't think there is another manager who could have gotten Arsenal through the last 8 years spending what Arsenal did without dropping out of the top, 4 Wenger is a genius if I was on the board at Arsenal I would keep him as long as he wants to be there.

Really ? We have spent most of the season without our first choice back 4
Think the injuries have been pretty even throughout the teams with perhaps Chelsea not losing too many players

I do not understand the genius statement? I agree he had done well with what he had available, but to be a genius you have to win it with what he had.
Now Fergie, there is a genius for you. Not only did he manage to always get into the Champion League, he actually managed to win the Premier League with some pretty average looking teams. At times not in the same ball park as some of his rivals. Look at last year, that team on paper was no where near as good as Chelsea or City, but he still managed to win the League.

Can't knock his consistency for making it in the top 4 year after year. Spurs & Liverpool don't seem to find it so easy,even when they splash the cash.
Surely Arsenal will win the FA cup this year.
