That is more than alarming, it's not the first time we've been so far off the pace as well. It's happening more frequently as seasons go by.
People keep saying that it's another year that Arsenal go trophy-less, but to me they've not been in contention for the most part.
There needs to be some big changes at the club. If Arsenal do finish outside the Top 4, they will be forced to make those big changes, but this should be a long-term well thought-out strategy to turn the club around and start challenging for silverware again.
