is no champions league a bad thing ?

We won't win it because we won't take it seriously.

Its winnable but the whole playing on the thursday then Sunday thing sucks.

We should focus on exiting Europe completely to help our chances of getting into Europe the following season.

It's the Spurs way.

why are we allowed in Europe when we have clearly voted to leave Europe, those euro guys should be thinking booting us out the CL & EUROPA

Reputation damage is unavoidable if it happens. Can see the worldclass targets skipping Arsenal to join the other big teams.

I know that no premier league club has ever done the double of winning the Europa league cup and the premier league title in the same year.

Even more worrying is the premier league clubs that survive until the knockout stages of the Europa league are usually out of making a push for the top four positions in the premier league when they need to refocus their energies. The reason for this is simple. The demands of the Europa league, with all the traveling, are simply exhausting and teams pay for these exertions either in the league or the cup.

I'd rather not take part in the Europa league and increase our chances of qualifying for the Champion's league than gamble on a cup run in the Europa cup.

"I know that no premier league club has ever done the double of winning the Europa league cup and the premier league title in the same year. "

Would you rather win Europa, or finish 4th?

It's not a bad thing if it leads to fundamental improvements at the club. I would hope that it is a wake-up call!

'Winning' a second rate competition that all the GOOD teams aren't allowed to enter is a horrible thought.
If 'A' trophy is all that counts, lets get relegated and win the Championship! or league 1, league 2 etc.
We are Arsenal, and if we can't get into the CL I hope we do not finish in the losers spot and get to waste all our resources on a losers cup.
