The rags have 59 points. With ten to play, the most they can get is 89.

We have 72 points. 89 - 72 = 17.

Yes was a bit slow. Hoping Id corrected myself before anyone noticed .

Is it still on? & apologies if this has already been covered but given instructions not to travel, weekend games already off, reduced public transport services etc why hasn't this been shifted to blank weekend of 17th?

Dont be such a tart, played in far worse in the Macc Sunday League.....and that was pre season friendlies in August.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I'm sure we'll be up for it, in fact I'm predicting most of the team will be in short-sleeves!

and not wearing les gants

 

[worsleyweb]

Why is that?

Because it is absolutely a leveller.

I think it's a underestimation of this squad's mentality for so many to be suggesting Arsenal might be more up for this than us. It's not unreasonable to expect a reaction from Arsenal and i'm sure they can't be as bad as they were on Sunday, but why would they be more up for it than us? They're demoralised and they've got shit all to play for in the league. They haven't been able to lift themselves when it's needed for most of this season so why are people expecting them to do it now AND to a better level than us?

Seems to be an assumption our players won't be up for this because of the weather but tbh I think that says more about how are fans are feeling about it rather than the players. We're desperate to get the league sewn up asap and we also have players trying to nail down a position in the team. Not saying we're definitely going to win tonight, but we'll every bit as up for it as they are.

Who knows what will happen. But don't forget, we beat Liverpool in the final last time, then immediately played them again and got tonked 3-0!
