talkSPORT host and Arsenal fan Laura Woods is dreaming of the Gunners challenging and even winning the Premier League title next season.
Yep, you read that right – have you stopped laughing yet?
The north London side are currently enduring one of their worst ever Premier League seasons, with Mikel Arteta’s team currently sitting TENTH in the top flight.
While they still have seven games to play, the Gunners have to face champions Liverpool, rivals Tottenham, and high-flying duo Leicester and Wolves in their remaining games.
And if things stay the same, Arsenal are on course to record their worst campaign since the 1994/95 season under axed boss George Graham, when they finished 12th.
However, Laura believes there could be a silver lining to their disastrous campaign – no European football.
The Gunners have not failed to qualify for Europe since that 94/95 campaign, so finishing outside of the top seven will end an incredible run of 24 consecutive years in a UEFA competition.
But Chelsea were crowned English champions in 2016/17 after missing out on qualifying for Europe the season before, and Woodsy is hoping Arsenal can do the same.

The talkSPORT Breakfast host – with her tongue firmly in cheek – said: “I keep thinking, if it happened to Antonio Conte…
“The season Jose Mourinho got fired Chelsea finished tenth, and then Conte came in and won the Premier League with them in the next season with no European football.
“That’s my dream. I’m thinking, if they can do it, why can’t Arsenal do it?
“Obviously it’s a far-fetched dream, but why not? That’s what dreams have to be!”
Yeah, keep dreaming, Woodsy…
