Finally David Dein is axed as a member of the FA board. Who replaces him? How strange it’s David Gill! Jose Mourinho will be voted in next.

The Chelsea link to Ash is annoying me… what do you make of it? I wrote a article on my blog about it http://arsenalrumours.blogspot.com/. Its more emotion than anything else…

I apologise for my outburst, apart from the one about your vice chairman!Your chairman, however, he’s always got something fair and decent to say. He’s an example to all Chairmen. The season is over and there was no need for outbursts. I wish Arsenal all the luck in their new stadium and I am over the moon that Henry stayed. He’s a pleasure to watch whichever team you support. Arsenal will carry on playing wonderful flowing football with him in the team. All in all it’s a new beginning for you lot next year. Good luck! Come on England!

Mash,
Not that far behind! Add up the away games you should have won? Get real mate. You don’t stand a chance in hell. I hope you manage to keep hold of 4th place. Don’t look at the 24 points behind Chelsea (30 if we’d bothered turning up for the last 2 games) but look at the fact you were only 2 points ahead of Spurs. If their whole squad hadn’t been poisoned for their last game you wouldn’t even be in the Champions League. It’s the same old ifs and buts which we’ve had from the Gooners all year. Anyway, what about Beveren? All year the Gooners on this site have been talking about our dodgy dealings. And now who should FIFA be investigating for dodgy practices? You have the nastiest vice chairman in the Premier League by far and he sits on the FA. Talk about dodgy. Why don’t you talk about that instead of any chance you may have next year.

Good points.

I think Vieira was a big miss mentally, although it must be noted that in the last couple of seasons he wasn’t giving the team everything - but despite that he was still a massive player for us!

We’ll get him back for about £2 million after Juve get done for match-fixing anyway so it’s all good!

Good article.
On the 24 points short of Chelsea issue, if you add up the away games we “should” have won, (i.e. ignoring Liverpool, Chelsea and Manure), we would have matched their total. That’s where AW will be looking for next year.
Obviously the 6 games against the 3 teams above us can’t be thrown away, but a few victories out of those and a consistent home and away performance and we’re really not that far behind!
