Rumours about our fans doing the poznan while it's happening. :lol:
I hope not.
We should be really classy about it, then Rosicky should put RvC into row Z in the first 5 minutes and then we'll go on to win 3-0, simples.
I'm actually looking forward to this game now. We can afford to lose it and I fully expect us to so anything from this game is a massive bonus, including a draw.
Of course my mood will change as soon as RVP scores and I'll switch it off.
...so you'll see a max of 2 minutes then.Quote:

Not Judas I'm worried about, tbh. It's complete and utter turds like Welshit, Anderson, Valencia, Youngy, et al, all looking world class against us.
Because Chelsea and Spurs play each other so one is certain to drop points, both could even.Quote:

I'd prefer to win on Sunday.
Well yes, of course.
But they both have a game in hand over us too...Quote:

Although IMO we won't win all the other games.
Their game in hand is against each other. :lol:Quote:

Letters is correct. They both win this weekend and we lose, then either losing their game in hand against each other won't be enough for us to get top 4. Once again, our fate isn't in our own hands - apart from having to win all our remaining games after the weekend to give ourselves a chance on the final day of the season.
Luckily, we have a predisposed bottling scum team (though AVB seems to have worryingly instilled a tad bit of belief over at the swamp), and an agent in the form of a Spanish waiter marshalling the chavs, making it highly probable that we'll finish 3rd again this season.
In that case: :rose:
Easiest way to think about it is to pretend they've played their game in hand against each other and both lost.
Impossible, obviously, and better than any real scenario but let's just pretend.
If we lose this weekend, Chelsea and Spurs win.
Spurs are a point ahead of us, Chelsea 2 points. We all have 3 games left. Not in our hands.
But I expect all 3 sides to drop points before the end of the season. Wigan are fighting for their lives and may do us a favour, Chelsea still have to go to Utd, we're little bit shit.
We'll win all our remaining games.
....Plus we have Wenger.
Cripps. :bow:
We are coming 5th.. thats all that needs to be said and discussed. This will be the season we bottle it!
I think this as well.Quote:

This triumph will herald a quiet summer.Quote:

No chance. Has Ox started a game this season?Quote:

He will, once we are 8 down with 19 minutes left to play :ilt:Quote:

There was a series of corners that badly disrupted our whole 68 minute game plan and forced us to resort to plan A+1, which is 70 minutes.Quote:

It wouldn't mathematically be in our hands however Spurs would need to win at Chelsea to stay above us, which is a huge task for them.
This would so much easier if we could just pull a top result out the bag tomorrow, the team owe us one.
*sigh*
Come on Arsenal :scarf:
:(
Good idea to arrive late so I miss the humiliating guard of honour?
No all late comers get a tunnel of death :threaten: I'll see you sneaking in :ninja:Quote:
