Could possibly be our greatest ever PL result if we won.
I don’t think there is a human being alive who can make a compelling case for us taking 3 points though.
Personally I’m expecting a very heavy loss but meh, you got to live in hope I guess.
Hope they send an emergency alert out if we are winning this one going in to injury time.
6-0 Haaland double hatter
Had we got the extra four points we should have got against West Ham and Southampton I’d be extremely nervous about this game. I was shitting a brick before the Liverpool game. But not nervous at all now, the expectations are minimal…if we lose and I think we will then the title although not mathematically over will be over (we would require City to lose one and draw one of their remaining fixtures whilst we would not be able to drop any more points)
I am half expecting a similar calamity to last season. But that said if Brentford can win at the Etihad so can we. To my mind the greatest Arsenal win in our premier league history was winning the title at Old Trafford (although more because of the symbolism…the game itself was actually a reasonably easy win they never looked like coming back into it when we went 1-0 up)
We can’t compare it to 26th May 1989 either because that was the last game of the season. We have five more to play after this.
I don’t think we will get hammered because no matter how poor we’ve been the last fortnight we haven’t lost a game. We’ve lost six games in all competition all season (City have lost that many albeit having played more games overall).
I’m going for 3-1 City
Agreed on all points.
I’m taking the “look up the result afterwards and tut” approach.
I play football on Wednesdays and a couple of weeks ago I was going to skip this week and watch, but not after the last few results. I will regret it if we win, but…we won’t.
Yeah i was thinking of watching in the pub in case it turned out to be a legendary win, but will probably just watch at home as the irony is even if we did win, City would probably win the PL anywayQuote:

Holding cannot, must not play Wednesday. If he does I really have to question Arteta’s continuation as coach
We could get battered with or without Holding in there, this is all pretty academic to me now. Holding is obviously not good enough but I don’t think he’s even been that bad across the last 3 games. I think these are games we could have dropped points in even with Saliba there, simply because they’ve succumbed to the pressure.
This game is about putting up a fight and going out on our shield.
Hopefully with the CL next season, we make some smart signings that can slot in and not have the technical level of the team suffer.
Disagree, with Saliba in there we had a good chance of affecting a shut outQuote:

I don’t enjoy targeting Holding, I do think he tries his best and the penalty against Liverpool aside (which was a marginal call) he hasn’t made glaring individual errors. But if I award him 3 or 4 in player ratings it’s because that’s his level. It’s not his fault, he simply lacks the pace, awareness or technical ability to not be a liability to us.
We had a chance to get rid of him to Newcastle a year or two back but chose not to because he’s considered a likeable squad member. Well I’m sorry but if you want a mascot buy a puppy, we shouldn’t have passengers in the team. And it comes back to Arteta lacking the strength to handle big personalities.
