A two legged Semi Final in the Champions League against Athletico Madrid and Simeone is more than tetchy pal!Their two European matches before the end of the season are likely to be tense and tetchy affairs.
I think it'll go to the last game thouhampions leage semi final
My bad! I meant Liverpool at Home, (I got confused about when we beat them away)!
I think their fixtures are quite a lot easier so we have to win all our games and hope they drop points somewhere. Alternatively we need to win all our games big quite a few goals in case it comes down to goal difference.
I'd be delighted if points, GD and goals scored were identical and we won it on head to head though.
Had we tonked them 4-1 as we did a few seasons ago then I think they'd have imploded. As it was they showed enough to keep me thinking those 10 or 12 points dropped from winning positions (and the pitiful performance at the swamp) will come back to haunt us.
Having said that, I've seen enough to suggest we'll be in contention next season and will piss the league if we cut out the silly mistakes. We also need to sort out a couple of players who only play well for 3 or 4 games in every ten, but that's for another thread.
PS: Khus for Player of the Season, and NO'R for Young Player of the Season. Actually, NO'R could win both!!
He's still not fully fit IMO! Nico O'Riley being fit is more important than Rodri at the momentRodri injury could be a bit of a killer.
You would have proper hated Millwall away on that Wednesday night in 1998! They definitely took that game seriously!To be honest I always hate end of season midweek away games against opposition that are playing for pride and little else.
Correct mate, we played an almost relegated QPR team in 2012 and look how they nearly beat us!If you’re looking at the fixture list, you’re wasting your time. With what’s left, anybody can win and anybody can lose any game.
What difference do people think there is between Newcastle, Fulham, Bournemouth and Everton? They’re all within 6 points of eachother and Newcastle have actually won more games than Bournemouth. You’re talking about fractions of a % difference between these sides which is not going to be the thing that decides the title.
Would you rather play at home to a Villa team that has a CL place bagged, or away to a West Ham team which is above Villa in the form table and is fighting for its life?
We’d want 7 mins if the game was level to be fairwhere the f**k did Taylor find 7 minutes extra? did he spin it out of his red arse?
That's exactly my thoughts,it's possible both will drop points,let's take it one game at a time as it could go right to the wire,not sure my nervous system could take it though :)It's been a mammoth effort, but all in service of just giving us a chance.
Make no mistake, Arsenal are still the ones with points on the board. I think there's a good chance we'll both drop points before the end and there is a hell of a long way to go.
But I always had faith in this team, I've never thought we were out of it (though we were close at times).
Good man. Bang on time -:)We'll piss it.
I expect them to stuff Newcastle but I think they will drop points elsewhere,if they do then city will have to be on it like a dog with a postman's leg in his mouthIt’s going to be very tough. The momentum is with us, but on paper Arsenal’s remaining games are easier. I think their best chance of dropping points is against Newcastle. Even though Newcastle are having a terrible season and the game is at Arsenal’s, they will come in under a lot of pressure after today’s loss, with one eye already on the Champions League semi-final. If they drop points there, they could completely fall apart.
Correct mate, that's why I don't think we will win it! We haven't been good enough all season, I have no idea how we are still involved! Even today, we didn't play like a team who wanted it. That was a bad game of football today, they dragged us to their level. Compare today with United in 2012, or any game when we needed to catch Liverpool and get 97+ points! Whoever wins this league will limp over the line.Great win today.
Burnley now and maybe no Rodri will be tougher.
We had no business being in a title race this season.
Those last 7 min felt like an eternity.
Block out the noise. 3 pts next please.
Hammered was never happening unless we scored early and arsehole collapsed which could have happens if Donna didn’t fuck about I suppose -:)Correct mate, that's why I don't think we will win it! We haven't been good enough all season, I have no idea how we are still involved! Even today, we didn't play like a team who wanted it.

I'm not having a go at City here, but we should have hammered them today like we did at Wembley. Either team could have won that game!
Our only new players who started today were Cherki, Guehi and Semenyo. The 3 of them combined cost £15m less than Liverpool paid for Wurtz!I'm not convinced at all that we will win every game.
If Arsenal could drop another 3 points then I think that might do the trick.... But even then I'd still be nervous with this new team.
Next year, providing Pep stays, this team will be very very good.
