I don't think the players would want that!
China usually does!
Exactly.
___________
Michael Oliver will see to that they win…
Yes, he's a quality player. Done very well this season.
Özil is injured, yes. Something foot related I think. Monreal is injured too. And Ramsey…
Ramsey a big loss short term and long term, Leicester look decent
Yes, Arsenal could really need Ramsey today. Will be difficult to replace too, as Unai wont have the funds to do so.
I predicted a Leicester win, and looking at the match so far, that seems very likely.
First yellow was never a yellow though. Typical Michael Oliver.
I thought United were having poor luck, though United are just terrible at the moment
Ole is always lucky! ;-)
No chance Arsenal will manage top 4 now. Lucky that none of the teams behind (Watford, Wolves etc.) can manage 6th…
Leicester spurning good positions you may scrape a draw or nick a win.
Its crazy how much Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal and United are faltering over the last several weeks, though if Chelsea win today I think that's top four for them and Spurs most likely.
Don't see that happening with 10 men! Even so, Arsenal needed 3 points today, and that went out the window with Oliver's decisions. Just saw the replays. Nether of them are yellow cards actually…
Whoever grabs three points in the United-Chelsea win is very likely 4th at the end of the season. If there's a draw, United and Chelsea will fight all the way in. Arsenal are out of it.
2-0. Surprised it isn't more.

I think this is a very good point. There are teams (like Arsenal) who depends on certain players to be fit.
EL confirmed more or less. Not that Arsenal deserve to be top four either. The most worrying aspect of losing out on CL football, is that Unai wont be able to bring in the players he want. The best players wont play for a EL side. This can have a negative impact on Arsenal next season, and beyond.
United losing Herrera has had the same effect, our win percentage when he plays is considerably higher and Pogba plays better.
Vardy gets second 3 - 0
One can try to spin it into something positive. To be fair, Arsenal has to rebuild over time. Immediate solutions like buying a handfull of star players will not work anyway. In that game Arsenal will lose against the financially more powerfull. It is better to invest wisely for the future, not with short term stars who expect to play in the CL but with younger talents that are willing to comit to a more long term plan. In the modern day "improving for next season" has become synonymous with spending big on star players. It is a bit sickening actually. There are so much that can be done on the training field, improving the game, improving the players you already have, give faith in youth etc... Maybe no CL football will help Arsenal work more patiently and methodically, and not get dragged into bidding wars and short term solutions?
I m clutching at straws, I admit... ;) But it is nice to stay positive at times, and I think there is at least a reasonable point to what I am saying.
Yep, some players are just so important to a side. The flow of the game even might depend on one guy.
3-0. Arsenal have given up now. Any chance of getting anything went out the window with Oliver's decisions early on.
Unai needs to focus on EL now, and play the best side possible in those games.
Indeed, nobody expected Arsenal to be "rebuilt" in one season. I think Unai has done all he can this season too – maybe more than we could expect. I hope Arsenal can find some talent this summer, because that's the only way they can focus really. Arsenal do have some backroom appointments to sort out though, so this summer might not be as eventful as we fans hope for.
Then there's the massive wage bill some of the current players are on…
Need some Sterling/Agüero goal involvement from a FPL perspective!
