Good luck with that

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Luton 1-1 Everton, Adebayo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Raya wins the Golden Glove due to that!

[Letters]

David Raya wins the Golden Glove due to that!

How do they determine that then?

[Letters]

Remember when Spurs were top and unbeaten after 10 games and thought they were in a title race?

:haha:

Good times

[WMUG]

How do they determine that then?

Most clean sheets

[Letters]

Most clean sheets

As you all rudely ignored me I found out for myself, but thanks.

Bit of a strange one though, the ‘keeper doesn’t have a huge influence on whether you keep a clean sheet. If the midfield and defence are doing their job the ‘keeper might not have much to do. If they’re not then it’s pretty unlikely they’ll keep a clean sheet.

[dazthegooner]

About right we’ve conceded 3 goals due to a” goalkeeping error” only two have managed more (can’t remember who though)

[HCZ_Reborn]

Congratulations to Ipswich Town who now become my nearest premier league club not based in London (assuming Luton don’t beat the drop)

Come on Wolves

[Letters]

Come on Wolves

:gp:

[dostoy]

Yes I agree but we all know it won't happen don't we.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We need Robert Plant to inspire Wolves.

[Letters]

Yes I agree but we all know it won't happen don't we.

Yes. Yes we do :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Some strike from Rodri but over it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Don't think that should be a pel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Haaland.

[Letters]

1-0 Haaland.

:lol: oh well.
This was never the one we had much hope about.
COYS! :sick:

[HCZ_Reborn]

We need Robert Plant to inspire Wolves.

And she’s climbing the stairway to heaven

[Marc Overmars]

:lol: oh well.
This was never the one we had much hope about.
COYS! :sick:

Spurs won’t be playing for anything by then anyway.

We need a miracle. :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Haaland. :lol:

[Letters]

Spurs won’t be playing for anything by then anyway.

We need a miracle. :(

We are doing what we can. OT is obviously a banana skin, we are loads better than them but have a poor record there and they’ll raise it against us. People can point to the Villa game, but it’s the only slip this calendar year. The bigger slips came in the first half of the season. But we could still get 89 points, we will surely get no fewer than 86. Overall I can’t really fault their efforts

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They get another pel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 Haaland hat-trick.

[dostoy]

Man City will not only win the PL but they will have the best goal difference at the end of the season.

[Marc Overmars]

Yeah I’m at peace with it tbh. I think we all knew after the Villa game it had most likely gone.

If we win at Old Trafford then that would be an awesome effort to take it to the final day but right now it all feels like pie in the sky.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 Hwang!

Complacency bby.

[Letters]

3-1 Hwang!

Complacency bby.

The comeback is ON!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-1 Haaland.

[dostoy]

It would have helped Arsenal a lot if Man City had been in the CL semi finals.

[Marc Overmars]

It would have helped Arsenal a lot if Man City had been in the CL semi finals.

Doubt that would have made a difference. They haven’t lost since early December. This is what usually happens with them in the run in, it’s just a machine that can’t be stopped. They’ve never slipped up at this stage.

[Mac76]

It's been game over since the Villa defeat

[Letters]

It's been game over since the Villa defeat

Which tells you more about City than us.
We’ve slipped once all calendar year. Literally won every other game, the only exception being City away where a point was a commendable result.
One slip and the City machine mows is down. :shrug:
I said all along that if they’re going to win it then at least make the fuckers win it. We’re doing that despite our harder run in, so no complaints from me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-1 Alvarez.

[Letters]

:rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-1 FT.

Wolves well and truly on the beach.

[Letters]

Don’t worry, Spurs will help us out



:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rise Marco Silva. :bow:

[Mac76]

Rise Marco Silva. :bow:

Our best chance, if not much of a chance...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Surprised that wasn't checked for a Villa pelanty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Olsen saves from Adingra.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-0 West Ham, Palmer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rogers off injured I guess, Cash on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 2-0 West Ham, Gallagher.

Chelsea are 7th somehow now.

[Marc Overmars]

Chelsea haven’t really been that bad lately, which makes us destroying them in the way we did quite impressive.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 3-0 West Ham, Madueke.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Chelsea haven’t really been that bad lately, which makes us destroying them in the way we did quite impressive.

I think not having Cole Palmer was a big deal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 4-0 West Ham, Jackson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton are hopeless in front of goal.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Brighton are hopeless in front of goal.

A lot of people have short memories. This was Brighton two-three years ago. Woeful in front of goal. Even when they had Ghoul playing for them

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Enciso. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 1-0 Villa, Gross! :faint:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Gross scores 1-0 Seagulls

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed for offside.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Disallowed for offside.

Don’t feel I can say too much about VAR after yesterday

I have no problem with the technology, just the cretins using it

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Villa, McGinn ofside.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Disallowed goal for Villa, McGinn ofside.

Bless VAR :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 5-0 West Ham, Jackson with his second.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Brighton!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 1-0 Villa, Joao Pedro! Had the pel saved though!

[HCZ_Reborn]

Chelsea 5-0 West Ham, Jackson with his second.

Jesus, hope that Orrible cunt behind me at West Ham’s ground wasn’t at Stamford Bridge today

Bit concerning to me that Chelsea are managing decent results of late (well take away being put away 5-0 by us)

I don’t want that horrible, malodorous club to achieve anything but disappointment for its scumbag fan base

[Mac76]

Seagulls! Seagulls!

[Mac76]

Jesus, hope that Orrible cunt behind me at West Ham’s ground wasn’t at Stamford Bridge today

Bit concerning to me that Chelsea are managing decent results of late (well take away being put away 5-0 by us)

I don’t want that horrible, malodorous club to achieve anything but disappointment for its scumbag fan base

the funny side is that Man Ure are now in 8th, out of any European competition, admittedly with a game in hand

[Marc Overmars]

Great result, keeps Spuds in with a chance!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

West Ham have taken quite a few hidings this season.

If things don't go their way they chuck the towel in so easiy.

No way will Moyes be there next season.

[HCZ_Reborn]

the funny side is that Man Ure are now in 8th, out of any European competition, admittedly with a game in hand

Well it is funny but I don’t have the same visceral hatred of United that I do Chelsea. I merely dislike United, I find them utterly pathetic.

They are similar in that both clubs have been horrendously run in the last ten years….well United more so.


But Chelsea. Those Russian money backed stooges, cheapened the Champions League and knocked us off of being the top club in London. Their fans are racist scumbags and they have no class whatsoever.


Their place is in the lower tier of English football, hopefully with Man City joining them


Utterly artificial success

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 1-0 Aston Villa, FT!

Emery Champions League bottlejob protocol initiated.

[HCZ_Reborn]

West Ham have taken quite a few hidings this season.

If things don't go their way they chuck the towel in so easiy.

No way will Moyes be there next season.

They hate Moyes which I think is a little unfair given he’s been a stabilising presence at the club and he won them that European trophy

People think some of our fanbase is entitled, should have heard some of the things being said by Ammers fans…utterly delusional.

Guys screaming behind me because Coufal and Zouma weren’t taking Luis Diaz to the line. They were trying bloody hard to, but Diaz is exceptionally good technically and an utter speed merchant.


But because Everton had beaten them three days ago, in the mind of West Ham fans they should have done likewise. Not understanding that Everton were able to exploit the small size of their pitch to deny Liverpool space in which to operate. Can’t do that at the London Stadium

[HCZ_Reborn]

Brighton 1-0 Aston Villa, FT!

Emery Champions League bottlejob protocol initiated.

He’s on course to do it for a second time

It’s happened Again
It’s happened Again!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, van Dijk, Robertson, Elliott, Endo, Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.
Subs: Gomez, Konate, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Jones, Gravenberch, Bajcetic, Kelleher, Bradley.

Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Emerson, Bissouma, Sarr, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Son, Johnson.
Subs: Skipp, Hojbjerg, Dragusin, Richarlison, Maddison, Gil Salvatierra, Lo Celso, Austin, Moore.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He’s on course to do it for a second time

It’s happened Again
It’s happened Again!!

Liverpool at home, Palace away is rough.

[dostoy]

I'm disappointed Villa lost.

Why are some people on here wanting Spuds to keep in the hunt for a CL place ?

They will NEVER EVER do Arsenal any favours.

I hope Liverpool thrash them today.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Liverpool at home, Palace away is rough.

Exactly what I was thinking

Don’t get me wrong, I want them to get 4th…I just want Spurs to keep them honest about it and fall short on the last day.


Hopefully Spurs get a point today, beat Burnley, City and Sheffield United


Hopefully Villa get a point against Liverpool and beat Palace and pip them at 71 points

[HCZ_Reborn]

I'm disappointed Villa lost.

Why are some people on here wanting Spuds to keep in the hunt for a CL place ?

They will NEVER EVER do Arsenal any favours.

I hope Liverpool thrash them today.

Because being in the hunt for a champions league place as you know means that they have something to play for against City


The fans would rather they finish 5th if it means stopping us winning the title. I don’t think Crocodile Greeky would agree

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Salah cross hits the bar!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Elliott shot blocked on the line!

[HCZ_Reborn]

Spurs start brightly but soon as put under Any pressure they start messing themselves

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has that not gone in. :lol:

Offside or not.

[HCZ_Reborn]

1-0 Salah

Relying on Spurs is like Relying on the integrity of Sandcastles during a Rain shower

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Salah. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Emerson Royal doing just enough to get it away from Salah.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Romero is literally a magnet for the ball apparently

[HCZ_Reborn]

2-0 Robertson scores for second game in a row

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Robertson. :lol:

[Letters]

Us relying on Spurs :haha:

We’re doomed!

[dostoy]

Spurs are useless.

I want a 6-0 win for Liverpool today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham will always let you down.

So we should all go in to the Man City game expecting them to lose 0-10.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 Gakpo. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maguire is out for three weeks.

Terrible news for us

[Mac76]

3-0 Gakpo. :lol:

Even though it's bad for us...

:haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Spurs. :lol:

What is the point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 Elliott. What a strike!

[Mac76]

Spurs. :lol:

What is the point.

Their GD is currently +9

"Exciting attacking football " :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I can't deny, Big Ange has made them very enjoyable to watch.

[Mac76]

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-1 Richarlison.

Comeback is on!

[HCZ_Reborn]

4-2 Son

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-2 Son. :popcorn:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Their GD is currently +9

"Exciting attacking football " :bow:

Well conceding almost as many goals as you score is quite exciting in a masochistic way

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why did Van De Ven leave it to Salah?

How did Salah miss it?!

[Letters]

Spurs. :lol:

What is the point.
It seems to mostly be to entertain and amuse Arsenal fans.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Salah.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nunez is awful.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-2 FT.

Take that last 30 minutes in to the remainder of the season Ange. :bow:

You got this.

[dostoy]

Liverpool nearly did an Arsenal when they were 4-0 up.

So glad Spuds lost.

[Mac76]

So glad Spuds lost.

You still don't get it do you ..? :rolleyes:

[Letters]

Worth a revisit

[Mac76]

"age-restricted"

What kind of stuff are you putting on here Letters...? :sarcy:

[Letters]

If only there was a link you could click to find out.

EDIT: Changed it to just a link!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crystal Palace: Henderson, Clyne, Andersen, Richards, Mitchell, Hughes, Wharton, Munoz, Eze, Olise, Mateta.
Subs: Matthews, Ward, Guéhi, Ayew, Schlupp, Edouard, Ahamada, Riedewald, Rak-Sakyi.

Man Utd: Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Evans, Dalot, Mainoo, Eriksen, Antony, Mount, Garnacho, Hojlund.
Subs: Bayindir, Heaton, Amrabat, Diallo, Collyer, Amass, Ogunneye, Jackson, Wheatley.

[HCZ_Reborn]

1-0 Olise

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Briliant goal.

Although helped by Man Utd's er centrebacks parting the middle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great defending from Mateta to deny Olise.

[HCZ_Reborn]

2-0 Mateta

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Mateta!

[Marc Overmars]

Damn, if we can’t beat this lot on the weekend. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Casemiro.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Onana off Hughes.

[HCZ_Reborn]

3-0 Mitchell

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Palace 3-0 Man Utd, Mitchell!

[dostoy]

You still don't get it do you ..? :rolleyes:

Of course I get it but relying on Spuds is just stupid.

They will never do Arsenal a favour.

You don't get that.

[Mac76]

Of course I get it but relying on Spuds is just stupid.

They will never do Arsenal a favour.

You don't get that.

They will if it means Champions League qualification

You just don't get that

[HCZ_Reborn]

4-0 Olise

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 Olise again, what a strike!

Casemiro. :haha:

[Letters]

If we don’t beat this mess of a Utd side then we don’t deserve the title :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Their last home game of the season, I expect them to be annoying game raisers. Ten Hag always gets random results to temporarily save him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That should be a red for Amrabat.

[Letters]

Their last home game of the season, I expect them to be annoying game raisers. Ten Hag always gets random results to temporarily save him.
That does worry me.
But we are miles better than them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 FT. Dynamic and exciting from Man Utd.

[Mac76]

Their last home game of the season, I expect them to be annoying game raisers. Ten Hag always gets random results to temporarily save him.

Yeah it won't be easy, let's hope Fernandes is still out for that game

[Mac76]

4-0 FT. Dynamic and exciting from Man Utd.

:lol:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Yeah it won't be easy, let's hope Fernandes is still out for that game

I hope he’s out because he’s a cheating piece of shit. What an absolute fucking rotter of a player

[Marc Overmars]

That does worry me.
But we are miles better than them.

We should win because we’re on another level to them but football can also just be a little weird and no team has fluked more undeserved results than United.

[Mac76]

I hope he’s out because he’s a cheating piece of shit. What an absolute fucking rotter of a player

Got a decent shot on him though

[dostoy]

They will if it means Champions League qualification

You just don't get that


They won't.

Not if it means Arsenal will win the PL.

[Mac76]

They won't.

Not if it means Arsenal will win the PL.

So a bunch of largely foreign players will sacrifice the chance to play in the CL for the sake of a London rivalry (or what is in fact pure envy)?

No way

[Letters]

Bottom line is they’ll lose to City because they’re shit :shrug:

[dazthegooner]

That could have something to do with it yes :(

[HCZ_Reborn]

It is kind of academic as I think city will beat them

I think every team is sufficiently motivated to beat City. Wolves I think gave it a go but got mullered

[Letters]

Mate of mine keeps predicting 2-2.
God alone knows what makes him think that. Spurs have the flip-flops on, City are flying.
Given City's record there I might usually be optimistic of Spurs getting something, but in the context of a title run in with City doing what they do an Spurs on the beach, I'm not expecting any help.

[Marc Overmars]

If City were at Spurs earlier in the season then I’d believe there’s a chance of dropped points. At this late stage though, they’ll win because they have to. They’ve never surrendered a lead once they get their noses in front.

Let’s just hope we win at United then whatever happens, happens.

[HCZ_Reborn]

They haven’t been beaten after taking the lead but they’ve drawn against Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool and Palace after leading

[Mac76]

I've said it before but I'm not looking at Spuds, I'm looking slightly at the chance of an upset at Fulham but it's very very very unlikely

Citeh are basically home and dry

[Marc Overmars]

They haven’t been beaten after taking the lead but they’ve drawn against Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool and Palace after leading

I meant a lead as in the title race. As soon as they get to the top of the table I don’t recall them ever dropping silly points in the run in once it’s theirs to lose. They matched Liverpool blow for blow in those mental seasons and wouldn’t go away last year when chasing us either.

If they dropped points now it would be a huge shock and quite out of character.

[Letters]

I've said it before but I'm not looking at Spuds, I'm looking slightly at the chance of an upset at Fulham but it's very very very unlikely

Citeh are basically home and dry

Fulham have been beaten 15 times in a row by City.
16th time's the charm!

[HCZ_Reborn]

I think it’s Spurs or bust. Fulham is not the kind of game for them to drop points


They last dropped points against Fulham in 2011

[Marc Overmars]

Fulham are on the beach, West Ham are in the mud and Spurs are Spurs.

We need a miracle lads.

I just want us to be there on the final day for the fun of it all. It would also be quite funny watching Spurs fans willing their team on to lose should we get the win at Old Trafford.

[Mac76]

The trouble with going to the final day is that one thing we're all agreed on here is that Citeh will trash West Ham, so it will be a completely false event where Sky etc will be bigging it up as The Big Climax To The Season and then everyone can laugh at us when surprise surprise we don't win

I'd almost rather it was done at Spuds so we can go to the Everton game knowing we've done what we've done and just have a good day

[LDG]

City will win all of their games. Thats the be all.

We have won 14, lost 1 and drawn 1 (against City) since the start of the year, when we were behind them.

We’ve been fucking brilliant.

But you need to be perfect unfortunately. So I can’t see it happening.

[LDG]

The Fulham players were flying kites at training this week. That’s all you need to know about how involved they are :lol:

Spurs are awful and West Ham have a manager called David Moyes

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm more of the thoughts that Fulham are flying kites because they're so confident.

Spuds getting something would be the Spursiest thing ever.

West Ham giving a decent farewell to Moyes.

Delusion. :bow:

[dostoy]

The Spurs fans will be cheering when Haaland gets his hat trick next week.

Some of the Spurs players might as well.

They will want to lose against Man City.

[Letters]

I actually don't think that's true. You don't get to the top of a sport (add joke here about being at Spurs isn't exactly the top, but you know what I mean :p ) without being extremely competitive. I don't think they'll just let City win. They'll lose because they're shit, City aren't and despite their bad record at Spurs, in the context of a title run in I can't see them slipping up.
City are a juggernaut, we're the only team who have even pushed them this year. Liverpool looked like they would but then fell away. If it's not enough and that one slip against Villa is what costs us (and earlier slips) then so be it.

[Mac76]

Some of the Spurs players might as well.

They will want to lose against Man City.

No they won't - you really don't have a clue do you?

Professional footballers, who regularly change clubs, give lip service to these rivalries without caring one jot (unless they're that very rare-case of born-and-bred fan of the club they're playing for)

They only care about playing at the highest level they can, so if there is any chance of a CL place for Spuds still, you can bet anything they will try their very best to win that game because a) they want to play in the CL and b) they don't give a stuff if Arsenal win the title

So stop embarrassing yourself

[HCZ_Reborn]

Well I can’t be blamed for causing tension for once

Anyway I think there seems to be a disconnect between what spurs fans want and what spurs players will do

Spurs fans think there’s no chance of them finishing 4th anyway so they want City to beat them


Crocodile Greeky and the players will want to win no question. Though the players are taught about the local rivalry…they aren’t going to give a fuck if they hand us the title. Not how they think about things

Fortunately Villa are at least keeping it alive although they need to lose this weekend and Spuds will need to win to keep it alive

C'mon Spuds :sick: :ilt:

Pretty sure Spurs will win this weekend. But they must know it's basically over when it comes to 4th.

Because of GD I’d say Villa need two points to guarantee CL football

I gues you need to remember what happend that year when everyone thought we'd missed out and then we won by I can't remember how many goals and Spuds lost 5-1 at Newcastle :lol:

But yes it's not as close as that between Villa and Spuds

Well Actshually :geek:


That wasn’t about qualification for the CL, that was just about finishing above that mob. They stayed in the title race longer than us even though they blew a 2 goal lead at the Bridge.


But we finished 2nd ahead of them because they lost to Southampton and then Newcastle

No they won't - you really don't have a clue do you?

Professional footballers, who regularly change clubs, give lip service to these rivalries without caring one jot (unless they're that very rare-case of born-and-bred fan of the club they're playing for)

They only care about playing at the highest level they can, so if there is any chance of a CL place for Spuds still, you can bet anything they will try their very best to win that game because a) they want to play in the CL and b) they don't give a stuff if Arsenal win the title

So stop embarrassing yourself

Oh dear

There is only person embarrassing themselves here.

Spuds will lose against City because they are crap and their hearts will not be in it.

If you honestly think they will try 100% to win that match knowing that it will help Arsenal win the PL then you are deluded.

Dream scenario:

City lose vs Fulham
Arsenal beat Utd
Spurs beat City and therefore win the title. For us.

Nope, you're deluded if you think any professional sportsperson wouldn't do anything they can to compete at the highest level possible, least of all for the sake of (in Spuds' case) a pathetic local 'rivalry' in which they are a long-distant second-best and about which the players don't give a toss
