Arsenal have managed to almost certainly finish in a Champion’s League position this season, but have struggled in so many different areas that it has overshadowed their campaign.
Mistakes and lack of ability continue to halt their progress.
This has produced some very spiteful and undeniably entertaining banter between managers and players alike, with an incident reported by Fox Sports which showed a video between Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger going tit for tat in because of Wenger’s belief that Chelsea are a boring team.
Jose Mourinho, in reply, explained how titles are certainly not boring and rather that ten years with a title (Arsenal) certainly is boring.
Whether or not this came down from frustration for the goalless draw played out between the two clubs or not, it definitely made for some entertaining drama. Arsene Wenger has been widely criticised for his lack of trophies despite constantly keeping Arsenal in the top four.
Wenger could quite possibly be everything that is wrong with Arsenal at the moment.
The fans deserve better. They deserve an Arsenal team that is capable of going for the title. With their current squad there is certainly no reason why they couldn’t go for the title but their lack of ambition is holding them back.
This is because they have become too comfortable and focused on holding onto Champions League qualification. It is beginning to frustrate the fans as they know the Arsenal team they support is so much better than that.

I said it before in another thread, and I'll say it again. If Arsenal had any forward thinking, they would give Arsene Wenger a grand ol' send-off at the FA Cup Final against Aston Villa with a win, and then start building for a new direction. It's not everyday Juergen Klopp becomes available. Make no mistake, there are only three clubs that Klopp would join in England. One is a club that recently hired Louis van Gaal last season, the second is a club in Liverpool that will not be in the Champions League. The third is Arsenal. As much as I would love him to be in the Anfield dugout, I see Klopp and Arsenal as a perfect marriage. He joins a club with the stature of an English great, is in London, so therefore can attract the very best. He has a fantastic reputation that makes players want to play for him, and he'll bring the best out of the team there already, and make astute buying decisions. It will be Arsenal's loss if they keep with Wenger. I don't see him challenging for the league title while Mourinho is in England, while clubs in the Champions League will always find a way to beat Arsenal. I don't see anything wrong with Arsenal right now that hasn't been wrong in the past.
