Win — or else

Today is a must win. There’s no way to hope that this team has a shot at a Champions League spot unless they win today against West Brom. As devastating a loss as it would be to see this team miss out on a potential Champions League spot, this bit from ESPN Soccernet’s Fifth Official got me thinking:

So, Gunners fans, while you are wedged into your luxury seats inside your gleaming new stadium watching your array of world class stars and a manager with a reputation for re-inventing sides, think of the 87 clubs below you struggling and scrapping for an ounce of what you have – and doing so by getting solidly behind their team. You have no divine right to finish in the top four and while you may be going through a mildly sticky patch but spare a thought for Leeds, who were in the Champions League semi-finals eight years ago but now find themselves permanently entrenched in despair-and-humiliation-infested quicksand. Seriously, get over yourselves.

I speak as a fan who has become bored to tears by the recent dominance of the Big Four in the Premier League, not to mention disgusted at the default attitude of many Premier League followers who believe whatever happens outside that bracket matters not a jot. So come on Aston Villa, on you go Everton – let’s get that top four cracked and broken up as soon as possible.

Do I want to see the top four cracked? Sure. But at the expense of Arsenal? Heck no. I am not sure what that would do to the club. Enough doom and gloom talk. Today, a win. Is that too much to ask Arsene?
