Not the first, or the last, but perhaps a top ten classic from ArseTv


The man is a fool. I’d be genuinely surprised if Arsenal got all three points at Forest. They’re fighting for their lives. The City Ground will be bouncing. Forest are already showing fight and character by picking up points. Compare and contrast with Arsenal who lost that game yesterday as soon as the final whistle went at Goodison Park.

Let’s say I’m wrong (but I don’t think I am), Chelsea are a bit of a mess. They struggle to get goals. I’d be surprised if we drop any points in that fixture. If we did, we may fuck up in one of the other games but not both. That’s just contrary to all known form this season. WE WILL WIN ONE OF THREE GAMES. End of story.
 
If we win on Wednesday, we can relax a little, if we lose we will be angry and want to make a statement. Either way I can’t see anything but 3 points next Sunday, and still two more bites at the cherry after that, even if Arsenal do win against Forest
 
One more win and a third consecutive PL title is ours!!

To lift it at home after beating Chelsea would be even sweeter.
Let’s just hope it doesn’t end up being another derby at home scenario.

I was at the Mad Hatter in NYC for it (last Derby before they closed) and someone ordered a round of champagne for everyone to be distributed at the full-time whistle. It was a packed house and everyone was giddy at halftime.

We still drank the champagne, as we knew we’d still win it (and United didn’t delay us much longer after that, of course), but it would have been even more sweet to win it at home that day and celebrate the night away in the city that never sleeps!
 
I‘m not as certain as many are that this is over.
I’m not being a pessimist but, if the roles were reversed and they had Chelsea a few days after Madrid and in the week they’re confirming Pochettino, then Brighton and Brentford away, whilst we had Forest and Wolves, I’d still fancy we were bang in it!
Intrigued to see how many you catch.

It could be done Saturday,Arsenal draw and we could lose our last 3 games and win it on goal difference.But no way we would lose 3 games.
Would be hilarious if they lose to Forest though. If you saw Ødegaard's post match interview... I'd be surprised if they bother turning up to play at all
 
We just need to keep the fans off the pitch if we come out of the games as Champions, don't need to give the Premier League any reason at all to punish us, were there not talks after last season that sanctions would be applied including a possible points deduction.
 
In that scenario I would not give a damn about the results against Brighton and Brentford. Start the likes of Kalvin-Philips, Cole and Gomez and do not bring on the big names to chase the games if we go behind.
I've been thinking about if we win the league against Chelsea and how Pep will use the squad, rotate the team and use all 5 subs in the last two games. It's been a long hard season and a few players have looked tired in the last few games, especially Rodri.

Maybe Pep may play Phillips in the last two games to see if he has the hunger and desire, or maybe he'll play him to put him in the shop window? Winning the league early should definitely help give our main starting 11 a well earned rest ahead of the cup final and possible CL final.

Decisions decisions.

Sadly people are idiotic and childish, it's inevitable they will invade the pitch and we just end of looking daft. The only way it will be avoided is if we don't win the league this weekend. Maybe it'll be a good thing not winning it this weekend to stop the inevitable happening.
