Hahaha, this really hit me...You must be a real masochist if you want extra opportunities to watch this lot.
TOO TRUE.
Still want us to get those games though.

It’s like a duct tape fix to having **** defenders. The defenders will let you down less but ultimately they’ll still let you down.It was proven again that formation with 3 at the back is fools gold. It worked until it didn't. Wenger, Emery and now Arteta. We need to bin this formation for good.
I didn’t want to be in it, let Arteta concentrate on PL, but like many have said the European money is big for a self sustaining model like ours.Thoughts on not being in the EL mate? I'm pretty worried, we need the money from what I've read over the last few days and I can't see us buying a CB this window.
That being said giving Mikel a clean slate and only focusing on PL fixtures may benefit us.

I’m worried there will be no real signings. Mari, Luiz, Cedric really might be the bulk of our business for next year.
Our players are ****, look at the pre match predictions, we all knew Son and Kane would destroy us. What’s true is that we maintained attacks for the first time in about 2 years today, can’t do much else when your players aren’t good enough to defend or finish chances.
Partey isn’t expensive, only 40m. We’ll sell Guendouzi too.Same man, the talk of Partey is nice, but is it realistic ? Maybe we have one big signing in us, I am not so sure.
I'm growing on the ideal of not playing in Europe but I think with COVID etc it may kill us in the market.
Agreed 100%**** this club and everyone running it. Just **** off.
Kane ragdolled us in the last 20 and Son scored and got an assist, doesn’t matter if we made it easy, they’re big game players and our leader as we all knew would happen, bottled it.Son and Kane didn’t destroy nothing though. They didn’t need to. We gifted them the win with our usual shenanigans.
That’s what’s so disappointing. All we had to do is turn up 100% focused, determined and disciplined and we’d have won this match. But we made a proper meal out of it yet again.
Do you even get 30-40m for being in it? I doubt it. To to all the way and win the thing you make about 15m. Obviously you have other sources of income like match day etc but maybe you can earn more by offloading players on 100k a week who are squad players and are needed because you have europe.
We would need to improve ten fold to win the Europa League. We have proven in the past when we play a half decent team in it we are beat.
This!Guess the Europa not as important if fans not allowed in. The gate revenue was significant.
Agree here. Arteta could have been braver.Saka for Pepe as the only sub prior to the goal was a show of fear from Arteta, he didn't want to make a real attacking change in case we got sucker punched. It happened anyways.
You're right.Nah i'm pretty sure we got at least 30m for getting to the final. We went to the semi-final and the final despite not being a good team. If we were in it again next year there's no reason why we couldn't go far in it.
The breakdown of Arsenal’s earnings from last season Europa League campaign shows that they - like all clubs involved - were given a £2.3m participation bonus.
They were also given a performance bonus of just over 2m and then a market share of just over £25.5m, significantly more than any other club involved in the competition. Marseille, who were beaten in the final by Atletico Madrid, received just £10.3m.
Arsenal then received a payment of around £442,000 for reaching the round of 32, £663,000 for the last 16, £884,00 for the quarter-finals and then £1.4m for the semi-finals.
