The reason Willock is scoring more goals for Newcastle is because they create more chances than Arsenal.

Inventing a European competition where mid-table teams play each other may just have been UEFA's worst idea yet. The egos that West Ham fans have developed for winning the European equivalent of the Johnstone Paint Trophy is unbelievable.

@HandofArteta Sums up the mentality if true, rather than trying to work back into the manager's favour they've given up. Not sure it's the case though, just don't think they're very motivated or very good. Or maybe because top 4 is too hard to accomplish now so why bother challenging.
