Our Exit from various Cups etc
My take on this is a bit different to what's been touted so far.
It seems a lot of readers have only become supporters in the last 10 years and therefore have become accustomed to winning trophies regularly.
I believe that Arsenal should be aiming for silverware AT A MINIMUM every other year, so based on that philosophy we are behind the eight ball this season.
However, averaged out over the last 10 years, we are way in front and Arsene's reign has brought more success to Arsenal than at any other time in our history - including Chapman's era.
This season has been a "transitional season" (as lots of people have put it) and we have been decimated with injuries - and through all that, it looks like we will still finish 3rd or 4th and take one of the two remaining Champions League spots.
So to summarise: bad season, but considering the issues we've had - to still qualify for the ECL, it's not a complete disaster.
What do you think?

I think your absolutely right about fans expecting too much. I am a fan from "the last 10 years", but unlike some others, I've done my history research and realise how succesful we have been in recent times, which hasn't been the case is earlier times. Though it has been a bad couple of months with the cup exits, this is when we should get behind our team and stick together. To fully enjoy the highs we must experience the lows.
Cheers
