If Spurs have nothing to play for, Spurs fans will be singing bluemoon and booing their own players if they score. I’m not even exaggerating either, perhaps on the bluemoon part maybe but they despise Arsenal. It will be similar to our last game against West Ham, they hate Arsenal too.In the past title races, we've seen no team doing any favours even if it benefits the rivals. I can only think of Everton in 2013-14 season, and even then it was just the goal keeper only. The PL has a certain level of integrity in this regard.
I watched the second half of both games, and I cannot for the life of me explain the extra time awarded. For arsenal, they were awarded 8 and the ref played on to a few seconds shy of 9. They shouldn't have had more than 4/5. Would have been 3 for us. I don't like conspiracy theories, but it is very obvious when you watch all 3 teams play.Definitely not celebrating yet but nice to call BS on the pundits yet again. Liverpool needing a win after losing 3-0 at home and then needing to win by 4 goals in Italy to progress in Europe = pressure. Arsenal needing to win before going away to BM needing a win to progress = pressure.
Also note the extra time at Anfield and Highbury.
we wont and the other two teams wont either. This is why EPL is the greatest league.Real bonus those 2 results. Simple enough now, beat 6 teams we are vastly superior to and we win the League.
Yep. Great weekend for us but a long way to go yet.The time for that post is when we have actually won it by a few points.
People are getting too giddy over a 2 point lead
Liverpool/blackburn West Ham when the rags played them for the title decider doesn’t work like thatIf Spurs have nothing to play for, Spurs fans will be singing bluemoon and booing their own players if they score. I’m not even exaggerating either, perhaps on the bluemoon part maybe but they despise Arsenal. It will be similar to our last game against West Ham, they hate Arsenal too.
I’ve said this previously but if spurs are still in a top 4 fight by the time we play them they will most likely have taken points off Arsenal and Liverpoolspurs have top 4 to fight for so they won’t just let us have it. It’s really simple, but it won’t be as cagey a game because Ange has a very attacking philosophy, we just have to get it done and make sure we don’t make silly errors defensively and offensively. We will no doubt have plenty of chances in that game. They’ve been poor defensively of recent
yes a bit like saying united will lie down v Arsenal as they wont want us to win it. they certainly wontTrue for the fans but much less so the team. Spurs players, like any professional footballers, will want to play their best and win every game. Son & co will want to beat City regardless of North London rivalries or what the result means for the league title.
We could be third by the time we next play in the PL & are the only one to have a midweek game (spuds) prior to the last game of the season.Real bonus those 2 results. Simple enough now, beat 6 teams we are vastly superior to and we win the League.
STOP COUNTING YOUR FUCKING CHICKENS!
Very clever mind games from Pep:
”Our players like playing under pressure.”
Really? They’re usually very careful not to give the results away.I am preparing to watch match of the day and a Northern Irish prick introduced it saying you can just hear the celebration from Stockport. I hope the person who said that dies.
Yes, now it is in our handsI’m going full “gaylord” - it’s in our hands, win our remaining games and we win the league. Full credit to the prophet @Gaylord du Bois !
We haven't got through yet. And if we do I'd rather they lost than we have two games in two weeks against Arse (A then H) rather than Bayern either side of the Wolves fixture.You are right,but exit from Europe takes physical pressure off them, while we have a game every other day.
I've said so all along,. This is the point where I get annoyed with all the doom and gloom merchants. I said a couple of weeks ago that both Liverpool and Arsenal would have to win their 9 remaining games (as was) to stop City winning the title, which is highly unlikely.
In particular Liverpool have drawn 2 and now lost 1 of their last 6, and that's not including the Atalanta defeat. They have never looked like being capable of putting a 7-8 match unbeaten run together.
Arsenal have always been the threat for me, they have been there or thereabouts for the past couple of years and when you get closer and closer you're more likely to hang in there sooner or later. But even before today they were celebrating every goal or defensive save like a win. You could see the relief every time, just like the last couple of seasons. They had a good run but if it's about going on a run when the going gets tough, there's only one team capable of that in my opinion.
The fact that at this late stage of the season we're still in with another possible treble is incredible by any standards. I thought we might have a chance of getting the 4th consecutive title but at the expense of dropping out of the other comps. Just enjoy the ride people, we might end up with nothing but don't knock them for it if we do. It's still pretty remarkable how far we have gone again no matter what, and it's not over yet.
