Will we win the league this season? No

Even if you take just 2026, we've drawn against Brighton 1-1, lost to scum on 17th Jan 2-0, drew against spurs 2-2, march 4th, drew.to forrest 2-2, 14th March-. Drew West ham 1-1. No matter how shite the arse have been, we've undersold ourselves in too many games, so, we have to live with the possible/inevitable consequences. As much as it pains me.

United - Dalot should have been sent off in the first 6 minutes.
Spurs - Solanke kicks through Guehi’s leg and fouls him
Forest - Haaland wiped out by keeper, Anderson kicked Rodri in the box, I’m sure there was another one
Everton - Keane red card challenge on Doku

Then the ‘foul’ on Raya, Rice fouls Mavraponos before that. Other bad calls in the spurs and Chelsea game. Loads of examples of Arsenal wrestling players to the ground in the box and no penalty.

Just because we won’t end up with 98 points doesn’t mean we don’t deserve the title. We’ve been massively fucked over.
 
Get to 2 points behind Arsenal heading into the final day hopefully with a superior GD

Score early against Villa. News will filter through to Selhurst Park which will give the Palace fans a lift as they will take great delight in bantering the arsenal supporters. Nerves will spread throughout the arsenal team as they will know at that moment they are in 2nd position.

I think Crystal Palace will play a few of their best players as well especially around the 60-70 min mark.
 
They're in sight of the finish line but sometimes it's difficult to get over it
We almost shit the bed against QPR when it seemed a mere formality
 
Still not over, but not looking likely. We have to win every single game now to push it to the final day.

Danny I get you optimism but mate it’s not gonna happen so we might aswell get the cup finish second and go next season and not make the mistakes we’ve done this season as truth be told we’ve not been good enough and from a premier point of view it’s good for another team to win which brings the worry next season that Utd are getting ready for a title .

That was definitely a foul, not one person on here wouldn't be screaming if that hadn't been given against us.

But that doesn't take away from the fact that they get away with 3 or 4 players fouling every time they have a corner or set piece. I fight against conspiracy theory, but this theme has definitely been followed all season.

What a sickener.

This is what makes it really sting. I'm sure they'd have had a few of those go in their favour at the other end this season. They're a horrid team and it's like a wrestling match every set-piece. If the opposition has the the audacity to wrestle back they hit the deck immediately.

Gabriel the **** is the worst for it and the Atletico incident where they should have had a pen sums him up. Kick their attacker and then fall to the floor holding your foot and get a free-kick. Should have given the pen and booked that twat for diving.

Still don't know how West Ham missed that opportunity at 0-0 in the 80th minute. Literally only place he couldn't score was hitting it straight at Raya.

Given myself a headache watching that. Haha.
 
You know in any other year I would just say "well done Arsenal, you deserved the title and fair play to you." However this Arsenal team from Manager down to the most horrible entitled fanbase in football deserves none of that.

They play a brand of football that is based around simulating fouls by screaming when a player touches you. They moan to the refs all game. They wrestle players during every single set piece yet moan like crazy when the same happens to them. They goad and play the hard man act behind opponents faces yet winge when a player dares to do the same or confront them. Their manager is the epitome of the way they act. He is constantly out of his zone, influences refs and the media with his insane analysis and antics. Their fans think their brand of anti-football is the bees knees and despite spending huge sums on players always moan that other clubs shouldn't be allowed to do that - in fact most of their moaning is to do with us and they try to tell all that we are cheats despite playing the most beautiful football when we won our titles.

So for all those reasons above I cannot applaud their achievements and I wish the wheels fall off sooner than later. I despise them and all they stand for.

Oh and the time Arteta was our assistant had nothing to do with him it was all on Pep and the support staff - he's just a twat that was here for a while.
 
Not many champions drop 9 points to the teams in 15th, 17th and 18th place.

If we don't win, it'll be churlish to drag up any particular iffy decision, or non-decision. Generally not good enough, but at least we've kept them honest.

When I think of our defending before Christmas, continually racing back towards our own goal like headless chickens, I'm just grateful that we've made a proper season out of it. Not sure whether coming this close makes it better, or worse, really.

Two cups would be a pretty good return compared to what I feared at season start.

A couple of proper players in the right positions during the summer and we won't be far off.
 
We've spurned every chance that was given to us when we were in the box seat, I just can't see Burnley getting anything at the Emitrates apart from a really good slapping. Their last game at Palace they'll win as Palace are in a European final a few days later and won't want any injuries. Today was the day, and the footballing powers that be were never going to allow a result other than 3 points to the Tarquins.
