Arsenal, who languish in ninth in the Premier League with just four matches remaining, are now in huge danger of slipping further into mediocrity. Here, Sportsmail takes a close look through what happened last time Arsenal failed to secure their seat in Europe during the 1995-96 campaign. Rioch was appointed Arsenal manager having just guided Bolton to successive promotions but his one-year tenure is hardly remembered too fondly in north London. In his first season in charge with the club having found a way back into Europe, Arsenal finished third in the Premier League and just missed out on Champions League qualification to Newcastle on goal difference. Arsenal stayed in Europe for a remarkable 26 consecutive seasons but that is now about to come to an end.
