Arsenal Thread 2014/15

Technically, it is. If we win our last 2 games then we have a minimum goal difference of +11. If Arsenal score more in their first games, we know that we have to do better and therefore, it's in our hands.

no, it's not.
We both play at the same time on the final day of the season and if we're equal on points it's entirely down to goal difference. At that point neither Arsenal, nor City know what score will confirm 2nd place, and neither can influence the outcome of the other game.

That would suggest that we could not influence our game yet Arsenal could.

I wonder if Aguero et al got the nod about what they needed back in 2012. Those bloody tranny radios, hopefully there'll be better technology in the future to keep us informed.

Obviously, the massive goal difference in our favour isn't really going to be undone, but theoretically, no matter what the score is at one game, the other game COULD end up scoring 11 more.
It's only truly in one team's hands if no other team can do ANYTHING to finish higher, and as it stands, neither Arsenal nor City can say that.

I'm being pedantic of course.

I just watched the arsenal match, and if they can score a minimum of 12 goals in their last three matches I'll eat my own arse.
It will of course be a pay per view event.

I think it's far more likely that one of us will slip on points wise than it coming down to goal difference, but there's no way they'll make up 12 goals.

Yep, but we're nearer the finishing line, given your analysis we've got two chances to screw up and they've got three,

Come on this is silly, we aren't gonna score 11 goals in 3 games and even if we did it wouldn't be enough as your obviously gonna score a few more goals yourself so we can rule out beating u on gd. As someone above said it will come down to points, 2nd would be great but honestly I'm not bothered if we finish 3 rd, just don't want to finish 4th which means it's imperative we don't lose against Utd id take a draw right now happily

arseanals end of season arse wobbles have started later than usual

 

[TCIB]

I would be happy with that, utd getting the shit kicked out of them by some baltic club and going out to, fantastic.
It would also piss on some of the time they would have otherwise to have cash builder matches.

the key to 2nd place is the fa cup final and arsenal will rest players after the united game they need that silverware to keep the fans happy and the game vs the scum is a no lose game for manchester city we only need 1 point from 2 games for 3rd so if united beat them we will be 2nd placed team
