Not sure about that - hopefully Pep's behaviour on the touchline - and the aggressive substitutions - pretty much reinforced that he doesn't think it's over?

Edit: wish we'd used subs like that earlier in the season, tbh - instead of trying to protect leads when our defence was struggling. Still, can't change that now.

Yep

Rotation and the bench should be used more, but City this season with the 2nd half problems sort of ties Pep hands
 
Winning it on H2H would cause many heart attacks, panic attacks, high blood pressure, seizures and instances of the heeby-jeebies especially during the extra ten minutes they'll get to win.
But it would be bloody glorious for the survivors.

It's goals scored after GD. We should be OK as we're seven ahead but they could put a dent in that v Burnley.

The dent won’t matter. As they would need to outscore us in that game alone and hope we don’t outscore them in the Villa game whilst they are drawing with Palace (which is what we need to be happening for this scenario to even become relevant).

So the Goals scored is effectively over in our favour. Meaning win our games and they slip up and draw a game, then they will almost definitely need +1 GD on whatever we finish the season on otherwise they are fucked.

I like the fact Arsenil have drawn 5 games this season from 36 games...that's almost 14% so it could easily happen again.

My bad. Arsenil have lost 5 games this season & drawn 7 so its much, much better than my initial post. 12 games not won is 33.3% which makes it a 1 in 3 chance it can happen again against Burnley or Palace on this seasons form....i think they are getting nervous.

I didn't watch post match interview/ presser. What did Pep say? Legohead and his team of cheats deserve everything thrown at them.

I was referring to the fact that, at full-time, he spoke to various Palace players. No doubt Arteta will accuse him of telling them how to beat Arsenal should, by some miracle, we win the title on the final day.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we see a rule change on that one before the end of the season lol

At this moment arsenal don't need to go hell for leather trying to score as many as possible
Two x 1-0 wins will win them the league

But imagine the final day difference between them having a 4/5-goal cushion - or not - over us. If they should have one (depending upon how our game is going) the draw might not be anything like as threatening to them and were they to go 1-0 up they wouldn't be nearly as nervy, knowing that Palace would have to score twice for it to hurt them.

I think that they'll be eyeballs-out against Burnley and that first 15 minutes could end up deciding the title, if it goes badly for Burnley. Can't really see them having the stomach for a fight, if they're 2 down after 10-15 minutes. I know that I wish we could have our chance against Burnley again.

Am sure the delectable Diana Rigg's character was Mrs. Peel ?
Don't think you ever saw her husband ?
Perhaps he had snuffed it in an early episode ?

She was indeed MRS Peel. I loved The Avengers when I was a young girl child in the mid 60s.

Her daughter Rachel Stirling, who is quite stunning is married to Guy Garvey of Elbow fame. Fwiw I absolutely love his version of Witchita Lineman. It sounds at first hearing like it doesn't work, but it really does.

Burnley really played like they had something to play for the night of our game. Avoiding relegation. They really will have zero to play for on Monday night.

The PL 'random fixture generator ' ( random? Yeh, riiiggghtt) has really given Arsanal a helping hand to add to the pigmol protection they've enjoyed all season
