And so the negativity and the put downs continue as the media seem to be going on an all out binge to tell anyone who will listen that Arsenal are in terminal decline:. So questions the Telegraph, perhaps forgetting that in a four year spell Manchester United from to ended the seasons 7th, 4th, 5th and 6th, in one season not playing in Europe at all, and in another going into the Champs league, getting knocked out in the group stage into the Europa league and then going out in the Round of Or from to Liverpool were 7th, 6th, 8th, 7th, 2nd, 6th, 8th, 4th, and won the league cup.
My point is that the bigger teams go through lean times. As it is Mr Wenger is one of only two managers to have been in charge of games in European competition. As Sky tells us daily, Arsenal, like all the clubs below them in the Premier League, are rubbish.
We will try to be very blunt, direct and live every second to the maximum intensity β that is what we are about. Many of the comparisons with the past are negative such as the fact that we have not won in the last six visits to Spain β the last being that wonderful victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League. If we get there it will be our sixth major Euro final and the third under Mr Wenger. And we do have Alexandre Lacazette who in his last 13 Europa League starts has scored 11 and assisted in two goals.
Plus we had 28 shots in game last week against this team. Not a record but fairly close. And I wonder if, without looking it up you know both of them. A Madrid v An Arsenal. Another Madrid man sent off this week How can Arsenal be fined for fielding a weakened team when everyone is rubbish anyway? Hi Bulldog β¦ it would be the 7th β¦ , , , , and , not sure which of those you blanked from your memory, there are some deserving candidates!!! Looks like we bought a CB, Turkish, hos former club let bit slip, involved due to development compensation.
Let us not castigate Liverpool and Man Utd too much. For, speaking from the point of success in European football competitions, both clubs have had numerous successes in Europe as Liverpool have won the old version of the Champions League, the European Cup on 6 occasions as Champions of the English first division I suppose.
