Gunners all fingers & thumbs

THERE is frightening delusion at Arsenal which is best summed up by some of their embarrassing Twitter accounts.

Whether it is those attached to the club or their heavily-followed fan accounts, they can have an extraordinary ability to pretend that reality isn’t biting.

I have seen tweets about how great their attack is with Mesut Ozil, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

If you had just been dropped on planet football you’d think, the way they talk about themselves, that Arsenal possess the greatest attacking unit that football has ever seen.

But they are nearly 30 points off the top of the league. Thirty! Three zero!

And they have the brass neck to be fanning themselves as if they are in the last four of the Champions League. It is staggering.

Arsene Wenger (right) isn’t yet ready to prioritise the Europa League but he should be.

With that gap Wenger should be crawling out and grabbing any microphone and saying to the Arsenal fans that in yet another disappointing season without a title challenge, ‘Of course we want to win the Europa League. It is a trophy we want to win and a back door route into the Champions League’. But he has said none of it, just completely mugging off the fans.

They are arguably London’s biggest club but they’ve never won the UEFA Cup or the Europa League.

And they are ‘umming’ and ‘ahhing’ about putting all their resources into trying to win it?

If it was good enough for Manchester United, who have won multiple European Cups and are England’s most successful club, to win last year it is certainly good enough for the Gunners.
