As an Arsenal fan, I couldn't disagree with you more. Arsenal have had an awful second half to the season, if they hadn't had a strong start they'd be mid table:

Many Arsenal fans are somewhat livid with how this season has played out, with the majority of the anger being directed at the manager and the board.
The reason we lost key ties against West Ham, Spurs and Liverpool was fielding players that are defensive liabilities vs. defensively sound ones – Kolarov and Yaya rather than Clichy and Fernando. He also didn't adapt to the game and stuck with his gameplan so there weren't any comebacks in the league. Surprisingly we came back more than twice in our CL campaign, against Sevilla and Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Yeah, I only really follow Arsenal's games and get bits of other news here and there, but I knew about Aguero being injured as I play fantasy football as well, and he's been doing me proud since he returned from injury. ;-) That said, now that you mention Pep Guardiola it does ring a bell. Has Pellegrini announced who he's managing next? Speaking of managers, I'm gutted that Mourinho may be coming back to the EPL, not a fan of the way he winds people up.
How many times have they been the best team in the first half of the season only to fall apart by February?
It's a normal season :(
(For the record: I'm a Swindon fan and like watching Arsenal in the autumn and Liverpool when they're 2-0 down in Europe).
Know what you mean, I missed seeing it but I heard that Europa league game you're referring to was amazing. I still think the best game of football I've ever seen was the 2005 Champions League final, I have nothing but respect for Liverpool for pulling that off.
