What are your expectations for the season 21/22: The race for any position between 1st and 20th

[Stav]

I'm sure it's just a phrase a pundit used and it stuck because it sounds natural. Spursy just sounds right compared to West Hamsy, Arsenalsy (or Arsy?) or Evertonsy system.

Gunnersy works very well though.

Everton win

 

[Guernman]

Once again Arsenal get lucky

Once again Arsenal get lucky

Come on. We have the luxury of playing an already relegated Norwich on the final day. If we lose (presuming we don't get a stupid red early on) we are quite frankly shit and can't complain about luck.

I think there might have been a bit of sarcasm in that post given that all we hear from the gooners is "Spurs have been so lucky".

I think the only way Everton would have got something at Arse with or without something to play for is if Arsenal are completely shot and demoralised.

I never agree with the cliche that teams fighting for their lives are hard to play. They’re fighting for their lives because they aren’t very good.

Norwich will be up for this. Last home match. Will not want to go out with a whimper in front of their fans.

We should be up for it! Champions League and a fortune in money riding on it.

Them being up for it should not counteract the fact they are an awful team and that if we score early all the fight should deflate out of them.

I'm not even going to be looking at the other game, just focus on ours. It's the best situation to be in knowing we don't have to worry about other results. The only result from last night I was interested in was the Chelsea one which means we can't finish 3rd. That was always unlikely though as Chelsea will surely beat Watford. Just be near our best and we will win.

At the start of the season you would have snapped their hand off if offered final game of the season we need a draw against relegated Norwich to get CL. I am very happy with the situation and expect us to get the result we need. Coys

Which is good news for us imo. Hopefully they come at us.

The Newcastle match always looked like the one where Arsenal could drop points. We don’t need to worry about the Everton match now which is a relief because I think Arsenal are far less likely to drop points at home to Everton than they were away to Newcastle.

We just need to focus on beating Norwich now. The fact we can even get away with a draw is a real bonus. We could barely have asked for a better scenario given the way the season has gone. Imagine being given this opportunity back in the autumn while Nuno was still here. Even a few weeks ago after we dropped points v Brighton and Brentford and Arsenal beat Chelsea, Man U and West Ham this would have felt like an absolute dream scenario for us.

Sadly I think Arsenal will batter them now there’s absolutely no way they can be focused on this game. Richarlison was still tweeting carragher at 2 AM

You REALLY think?

At the start of the season, I'd have said

"what the fuck you on about, the season hasn't even started yet, we've made no January signings, haven't farmed out GLC & Ndombele, have appointed Nuno as our fucking manager & loads could happen between now and the last game of the season. So don't offer me hypothetical scenarios, you absolute weirdo".

But I'm weird like that.

Oh come on. It's Arsey surely!

Yeah, but if you then got told "I'm a time traveller, I can guarantee you get 4th"youd remind him about nuno, call him a lying **** when he said we sacked him for conte, then bite the fuckers hand off (as well as then presumably asking some easily bettable facts and you'd be minted..)

 

[tevezito]

I was thinking earlier about our previous Top 4 finishes and thought that, IF we get the job done on Sunday this will be our most satisfying Top 4 finish. We’ve done it 6 times since Top 4 = Champs League and each time we’ve either clinched UCL qualification with one or 2 games left (2010 / 2018), often losing the last game of the season (2010 / 2016), or it’s been overshadowed by not winning the league (2016 / 2017), or in 2019 we stumbled over the line and we’re preoccupied with the Champs League final. And of course in 2012 UCL qualification was still out of our hands and was subsequently taken from us.

IF we do finish 4th this season it won’t have been our best finish, or our best season by a long way, but it will be the first time we end the season just able to celebrate finishing in the top 4 on the last day without something else hanging over us.

I'd be much more satisfied with stumbling over the line and being preoccupied with an upcoming Champions League final myself, but maybe that's just me.

(but I know what you mean, especially since it's at Arsy's expense)

If I've got a time machine and license to remove someone's hand, then it's back to that CL final and Sissoko look out.... (to be fair I'll just be tying it behind his back - gotta love Sissoko)
