Football : Season 2011/12

[thenry]

Gervinho can't shoot to save his life. No composure whatsoever!

We bossed the first half after their goal I hear. I would take things as they stand what with Newcastle losing but if we win this game then we have one foot in third place and next year's Champions League.

This is what is at stake Arsenal. Automatic Champions League qualification.

Wigan doing well need to keep Newcastle at bay. 4 - 0 is nothing, it can all gone horribly wrong, trust me.

If Chelsea win the Champions League all the English teams will go right into the group stage. If they don't then, as normal, 4th place has to qualify.

Season after Istanbul We played TNS in the first qualifying round.

even Southampton no seriously i know..

1st-3rd including Chelsea will go into the group stages. Anyone other than Chelsea finishing 4th will get pushed out the CL and into the Europa League unless Chelsea finish higher than 4th. then 4th will go into the playoffs as normal.

Full time. 1 - 1. Kind of disappointed given the chances we were meant to have had. We're dragging ourselves over that line for 3rd very slowly.

i watched it mate. Stoke started well but we woke up after the goal and got a grip. from then on it was all us with the odd Stoke threat. Towards the end Sagna with a clearance off the line. Ramsey come close, Tommy too.

Stoke literally parked the bus and again we couldn't find a way in on goal.

Not just the play offs, the opening preliminary rounds to IIRC, against TNS of Wales, don't think it was that game the gave us the they'll be dancing in the streets of Total Network Solutions if they win this line though

If Spurs win both their games in hand they will be 1 point behind us. Newcastle as well.

So we've conceded the most amount of goals in a season so far than any other Arsenal team under Wenger.

3rd should of been wrapped up by now but as like previous seasons we always find ways of making it a frustrating period!
