You got jokes lol,

Well, it's not a joke. Most pundits are saying the same thing. You have not only Tottenham but also Liverpool without CL responsibilities.

I don't know why other Arsenal fans are thinking Wigglesworth is joking when he's got a legitimate point. Our place in the top four next year is far from guaranteed and we do have some serious competition this time.

Granted Liverpool have, but City? They've lost Given, look likely to lose Tevez and Adebayor and Boeteng's gone after all the hype from last season. Only significant signing they've made thus far is Clichy and i wouldn't hold my breath on him setting Eastlands alight any time soon

A) Interesting to say that and then claim that Tevez is likely to leave Very Happy

B) You are correct, but I was more thinking along the lines of players City will sign by the end of August and judging by the kind of name Mancini has mentioned they look to be quality players.

According to Optajoe, over the last five seasons fabregas has assisted more than xavi and iniesta in their respective leagues. Chances created:

Fabregas = 466
Xavi = 455
Iniesta = 214
Goals

Fabregas = 30
Xavi = 22
Iniesta = 22

Found it interesting. Dont wanna create a flame war

Arsenal have a fantastic team, but they're getting rid of Nasri and possibly Fabregas, and we all know how Wenger ~~buys~~ promotes replacements. In addition to this they have increased competition from Liverpool and City who have been doing a good job at improving their squad, while Arsenal don't seem interested in anyone older than 16. I'll be surprised if they can muster the same amount of points as 2010-11.

funny, Gervinho is 24 . Rolling Eyes

Every year is the same, they all count Arsenal out of top4 and we are still there, I don't care what anyone says.

Its better then Chelsea. 100 million spent to finish only second place and the team is getting closer to age 40.

While Arsenal is maturing Chelsea is becoming retirement house.

It's all good, it's been the same set of predictions for the last 5 years and they always turns out to be wrong

Lex, you should post that prediction in the sig bets thread.

It's long term but it counts.
