Oh the irony purported by the Arsenal faithful...

Nervous about losing for one...
As long as there are no ridiculous penalties / sending offs, bring on Webb...
Lol. I really hope us beating Chelsea contributes to them not making the CL this year.

Afraid of competition? Can't keep getting the Basel's and Cluj's forever
What competition? Chelsea were dumped out of the first round of the CL and are battling for fourth, currently sitting 20 points behind United.
Also, because of seeding, United won't meet Chelsea in the group stages of the CL, so your post is invalid

United were dumped out at the next round, whilst Chelsea are still in Europe
Wouldn't really say that we are "battling" in the strictest sense, given we have more points, a considerable goal difference over the others and a game in hand over our closest competitor, but yes, we are very far behind you guys. Hopefully this spurs them on next season.
On a side note- if we win the Europa League and hold onto our top 4 spot, there will be an extra European spot given to English teams... Not too shabby I think.

Please no, you would possibly be giving Pool a place in Europe

Yes, so again, what competition?
Except that Chelsea still play United, Everton and Spurs, while also competing in the Europa League.
Arsenal play Wigan, QPR and Newcastle.
Spurs play Southampton, Stoke, Chelsea and Sunderland (no game in hand over them).
Very definition of battling, I'd say.
Still reckon winners of Europa should be given a CL spot.

The team that has more recently won the Champions League of the two and is still in European competition? Oh, wait, I should be asking you what competition
Three of those games are at home, which does slightly help...
Two teams battling relegation (can't count QPR really).
They have it tough.
If we were in Spurs' position, I would agree with you.
I agree.

SAF said he has already identified the players he wants to buy in the off season. Pray to god a qualiy midfielder is one of them.

Ignoring the fact that IF this happens, the world's best player would be back in the PL, why would you want this?

Except if it Chelsea.
LOL...
I just realised now- that if we win the Europa League, it gives us another Super Cup opportunity, and we won it the last time we were the "second tier" champions...

Point taken, but you know what I mean. Europa League success at this stage doesn't really help your argument since we're talking about Champions League. Using your argument we could say Newcastle is competing with us because they went far in the Europa League. Spurs too.
Don't know about that. All of them are going to make it difficult, especially Spurs.
Doesn't make it that much harder, since Arsenal want CL. As you say, QPR are done and dusted, and Newcastle just got pasted 6-0.
Maybe against Chelsea and Southampton. They should see off Stoke and Sunderland comfortably.
I'd say you're in a more difficult position, honestly.
And let's not forget about the Europa League fixture. Benitez seems to want it over Top 4.

How isn't this a straight red card?
