letting the goons finish above us even if it means finishing 4th will leave a huge sour taste

‘Tottenham Hotspur, we’re coming for you’ sing the arsenal fans. And that’s after we’ve taken 1 point from 12. How times have changed.

If we finish below Arsenal and in Europa spots it’s what the owners deserve.
However we can blame them for not progressing or competing for honours but it is 100% Poch and the players fault if this occurs. This capitulation in the league has been so so poor.
If Arsenal get CL and we get Europa going into our first full season at new stadium it’s going to be painful.

Only consolation is that Arsenal have 5 quite tough away games left (although not as tough as having to play City or Liverpool) and they've not been great away from home. But very very worrying considering those 2 away games we've got left.

In a way, I think this is a good result for us. Imo, Arsenal are the weakest of the three chasing sides, and I’d back us to finish above them over the other two.

We’ve still shot ourselves not just in the foot, but directly in the cock as well. But we should be used to that by now.

The Wolves result was a bonus.

I expected arsenal to win today after the Man Utd v PSG game, so that’s no surprise. That’s what football is like. I’m still confident we will finish above them and probably third.

We need something from the Liverpool game now though. I’m not confident of that.

The amount of money we stand to lose by not investing during the summer is so ironic it's almost laughable. Champions League is a must next season.

Looking that way, they're playing a lot better us at the right time of the season.

But as usual from our own making from top to bottom

There'll be a few twists and turns yet. We need to dig out a big a result at Anfield. Even a draw could be the difference.

Arsenal have a terrible clean sheet record away from home and they have more away than home games, so not all over but we've properly ballsed this up.

I can't see any way that we finish top 4 this season. Momentum is everything . Ultimately I'm amazed that a midfield of Winks and Sissoko has got us this this far, because that is far below the standard of top 4 midfield imo. Should have kept Dembele, even if he could only play 60 mins.

Arsenal done with the games vs. the top 6 is a thing to consider. They do have Wolves away though.

I guess the biggest disappointmend from the last four games for our part is that we navigated the previous games well. Not blowing teams away, but doing enough to deserve the win (Leicester apart). Then, when we got some rest and Kane back, we couldn't raise our performances.

We may still get fourth though:
Home: Brighton, Huddersfield, Palace, West Ham, Everton
Away: Liverpool, City, Bournemouth

We need to win all 5 of our home games in the new stadium ( Brighton, Palace, Huddersfield, West Ham and Everton ) and also win at Bournemouth . Assuming 0 points from Liverpool and City. That would give us 79 points which will probably be enough . But there is little margin for further screw ups .

For top 4, we need to win every home game, beat Bournemouth and pray we get at least a point from City or Liverpool.

Momentum wise, we’re absolutely fucked.
