He's back now

The interesting thing about Haaland is that he’s a freak of nature goal machine on one hand, but City play better without him on the other.

IKR but in general they're ominously good atm, he's now had a rest and is probably due another hatter, still c'mon Saints

We are going to need to be near perfect in the run-in points wise to secure the Title IMO. City are definitely back now, no room for errors from us.

Our game against Chelsea has been moved from Saturday 29th April to Tuesday 2nd May. Although I can’t imagine supporters going to the game will be pleased this gives us six days rest after the Man City fixture

I didn't think much about this at the time, but listening to the Arsecast about it last night, it's fucking outrageous, something to do with the police wanting to be on holiday before the bullshit coronation of King Bigears and the King's Escort

As they pointed out on the pod, fans will have booked travel and accomodation and it might have been their only chance to go to a game this season

But of course because there's always so much trouble at games they had to move it so they could have loads of police sitting on horses spreading manure everywhere

They don't just put the fans last in the queue for consideration, they're just not there at all

Being a selfish prick that I am, and not likely to pay the £200 quid it would cost me to buy a ticket for this game…my thoughts are more centred around us having a six day break after the city game. But yeah you’re not wrong, to move a fixture like this with such short notice is utter bullshit. Even with the NLD you don’t really get fan trouble as long as it’s properly policed…..and the MET will be getting plenty of support from other forces on the day of the coronation.

There is a london derby between Spurs and Palace that is scheduled for May 6th, if that doesn’t get rescheduled as well will have big questions

So to update:

Remaining Arsenal fixtures:

Man Citeh (A)
Chelsea (H)
Newcastle (A)
Brighton (H)
Notts Forest (A)
Wolves (H)

Man City fixtures:

Arsenal (H)
Fulham (A)
West Ham (H)
Leeds (H)
Everton (A)
Chelsea (H)
Brighton (A)
Brentford (A)


All we're playing for is pride now, but given our current form it's hard to see where we get three points next, if we can't do it at home to Saints when can we? my instinct is that Saliba's pretty much out for the season so our defence is going to be very makeshift right up to the end

i suppose we could hope Forest will already be down when we play them but as we know, already-relegated teams sometimes play very well, with the pressure off and the players hoping to move club

Other than maybe Brighton away, I can't see Citeh slipping up anywhere

we could easily finish 10 points or more behind them the way things are going

I hope that's cheered you all up

Unlikely….most likely we will start winning again after the City game….because in the mind of the players the title will be over and they won’t be as nervous.

We will beat Chelsea, draw with Newcastle - Beat Brighton, Forest and Wolves

Finishing on 88 points


City will get 20 points from those remaining 8 games finishing 2 points ahead on 90

Think they will draw with Brighton and Brentford but they’d have sealed the title by then so won’t matter

[HCZ_Reborn]

On top of that I think City will crumble again in the semis and they’ll have to be content with the league and cup double

[Marc Overmars]

It’s done.

This would be a miraculous title win if it happened now. It’s not impossible but it would be take a really special effort now from us to get it back in our butterfingers.
