5. You Have One Foot In The Group Stages Of The Champions League
After the weekend's antics it was imperative for Arsenal to bounce back and show character. Of course they registered a 3-0 win over Fenerbahce with 3 second half goals courtesy of Gibbs, Ramsey and a Giroud penalty. They now take a huge lead into the second leg next Tuesday. With three away goals it would take something special from the Turkish side to overturn that deficit. Arsenal are destined for the Champions League group stages and all the benefits that come from it. The Champions League status would be a great lure for transfer targets, as everyone strives to play in the Champions League and they definitely require some strengthening if they want to challenge on multiple fronts this season and in future seasons. Also it will be a big confidence boost to the squad and if they can manage to string a run of form from this crucial result it could kick start the gunners season.
