Great results yesterday. Congratulate the team for the effort but it begs the question;why don't we perform like that often? I believe it is down to the manager. We only seem to perform when we have our backs against the wall, when all the journalists are writing our obituaries we come back to life. I hope we win the europa but even if we do, wenger has to go still.

Agree with that Punani, solid performance yesterday but the underlining problems remain and will remain while Arsenes manager. Just enjoying the result at the moment and hopefully 3 pts on Sunday.

Personally, i'm pleased we played a fallen giant in ac milan, they are probably the yardstick of what happens when you fall and we need to avoid. Its sad but they are a shadow of their former selves and this os tbe level we are at now. We are not in the same class as the teams in the CL and there is no way we are going to get back there with wenger, even if we won the europa league. We can't keep relying on winning the europa to get us in the CL, our league form is still dire and will continue to be under wenger. Last night was a big tonic but it was also a wake up call to how far down we are slipping. I was shocked at how average milan are and we have to avoid the same fate. I hope we can win this cup and wenger bows out on top, so too speak. We all need to move on and move forward.

They were poor as steve and some of the defensive stuff we were doing would have been punished by a decent team.
Playing stupid passes around our penalty area and neither of our keepers fill me with any kind of confidence.
Like you say we need to get to May in no worse a state and move on. There are far better teams left in the Europa Dopa and it will take a huge slice of luck or 10 for us to win it.

Steve,
I bet you wouldn't say that to Gattuso's face 😋.

Dags, he's doing a job for them after some disasterous seasons, he's turned their ailing fortunes around but they are miles away after some disasterous buys. Ring a bell.

If Arsene is going to be our manager next season I've already lost interest in next season, shame but Arsene isn't able to generate any emphusiasom from a large section of fans and a large selection of players both those already at the club and those who could potentially improve us.
I can't think of another club or business that would keep the same man in charge when it's customers are so disinterested and unenthusiastic 15 months in advance of his next production going on sale, crazy situation.

I think its more but the last three seasons have been on a downward spiral. Anyone who can't see we are getting worse doesn't understand football. If this isn't arrested quickly by cutting out the problem and changing the attitude of the club and the players, then we are guilty of being complacent and putting this club in danger of mid table obscurity. If that's what people want then great but i don't want to see the potential of this club wasted. New blood, new ideas, new future. Out with the old ideas. i'm bored with the mediocrity.

New manager, should mean new ideas and new players.
It's not a luxury, it's what we need.

Gunner the ludicrously stupid decision to give him a 2 year contract is now looking even more unbelievable. If we had done great this season, it would now look stupid and now we are struggling it still looks stupid. He again has one year left on a contract, what a shambles.

How did one man ever become more important to so many people than the club itself?
How can 50% of supporters be prepared to see Arsenal continue to decline and declare just so we can keep the same manager who 15 years ago gave us such great memories?
Why does it matter more to them that Arsene is our manager than our club gets back to its best and competes at the top again?
It's difficult to understand.
