Hmmm for me arsenal players know the league is done , but they are more than capable of winning the Europa.

As for Chelsea, well it's unlikely but on paper the do have a starting 11 capable of fluking something one more time .

I don't like it
Have a feeling Arsenal are going to get dicked at the San Siro.

Did think about that, that's why I just went for a quip about them winning at all!

Just think it is history messing with people, Arsenal just lost 4 on the bounce, haven't won a meaningful game in months, are 13 points behind us, yet we are conspiring to be fearful of them in their malaise!

You mean like they did last time they played there? After Chesney had bragged that if we could beat Milan the previous season then Arsenal would have no problem doing the same.

:LOL:

With performances that they're currently putting in they'll get nowhere near to winning the Europa League.

The odds on this scenario are about 800/1 I wouldn’t worry to much. Or if you are go down bookies and have a fiver on it.

Arsenal are 5/1 to win the Europa League.
Chelsea are 40/1 to win the Champions League.

So 200/1 for both to happen.

Real chances are even smaller - odds on English teams at English bookies in international competition are nearly always too short just because people are likely to bet on them anyway.

Betfair is true price not robbing bookies. 8/1 44/1 plus you have to factor us coming 4th when we could still come 2nd or 3rd. This scenario is not going to happen.

I think we will start seeing some cracks in Liverpool after international break. They haven’t had to deal with a really intense period like they got coming up. We’ve had 2 of these periods so far.
Palace a
City h
Everton a
City a. Over 10 days
They have limited ability to rotate front 3 and at the back. However much promise Alexander- Arnold has his currently a weakness especially with lovren next to him. Robertson can’t play that crazy high intensity in 4 back to back games. They can’t rotate full backs like we can. I think Klopp will try to rotate in the PL games and I think they will drop some points. They still have to play chelsea at the bridge as well. Them finishing 5th is a very real possibility imo. They have much less experience than us of high pressure run ins and massive matches. We’ve played Madrid Dortmund juve this season etc. Just think it will all be too much for them. But in reference to OP to win CL they’d have to beat city and 2 of most likely Madrid Bayern Barca it’s not going to happen. If they come 5th and win nothing I’ll probably lmao for a good 24 hrs.

Yes... we get screwed.




Again.


But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
I honestly thought that law changed. The year it happened to us, there were people on here saying that as from the following year, that wouldn't be the case. Remember thinking it was so Spursy!

The thought of Arsenal winning their first European trophy makes me nauseous.
