Fulham were lucky to get 0.

That seemingly insurmountable goal differential is down to 2. I said a while back that I feared they'll close it within a reasonable amount because of the ease of their games compared to ours. If or when we beat Man Utd its unlikely to be more than 2 goals no matter what form they are in and we are in. We've just not been able to beat them like that when we had a good or great time usually.

Anyway, as long as we win.

I haven't used the Ticket Exchange at all this season. I have in the past and on occasions a few seasons ago, tickets just didn't sell so you have to take the hit. I really can't see how that can count against you for the ST calculation.

On the other hand, I've made frequent use of the Ticket Transfer to friends and family. In particular, evening games with extended added time and rail strikes have made life very awkward. Once everyone's joined as members and added to my network, I find it really easy and user-friendly. It's also free.

Are you certain you weren't on here still ?

A friend put this all perfectly when he compared this TH insanity to someone saying they would never visit Germany today cos of Kaiser Wilhelm’s behaviour a hundred years ago.
Most reasonable people would look a bit confused and say, “Who?”
Then walk gently away from the conversation.

Yes the young generation have no idea about history.

Ahhh I thought that might be the case John ....... now here's where the wisdom of age comes in ; I also have your best buddy on ignore so even when I have
nothing to post ; I ALWAYS log in .... that way I DONT encounter the screeds of copy and paste .

Sticking up for the colonial nice try .

The true colonials are Aussies and Kiwis ; it's an exclusive club , although the ocassional Leek eater might be allowed in , under special circumstances

You aint wrong ..... have a go at this lot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TZW6lVLYP0&t=199s

Thanks mate
Isn't kick-off time at 4pm?

Soz confusing games, not reading post before posting, daaah.

Def 4pm ko uk time as are all the last Prem Sundays games.

Yes Americans may need to look at their education system. Mind you ours is heading the same way.

Hardly ... have you ever logged the rigid High Priest Enforcer / Puritan that runs our site .... ?

That sort of vitriolic dribble wouldn't be tolerated .

Yeah well in fairness some of the questions can be really tricky ; here's your ex PM trying to answer " what is a woman "

Correct. 4pm. Sorry.

Enjoy!

The internet is one thing, but I wish clubs would do something about fans in the ground. Rice having to endure a torrent of foul-mouthed abuse and having it shown on TV is really not something you'd want kids to see.

The instant karma of him delivering a perfect assist notwithstanding.

On today's game: I see we are given a 71% chance of winning. United can be backed at 7/1.

That is an amazing reflection of how far we have come (and how far United have fallen). A few years back, the prospect of being such strong favourites when visiting OT was unimaginable.

Not that is doesn't feel like a massive bananaskin!

First goalscore odds:

Bukayo Saka 5/1
Kai Havertz 11/2
Gabriel Jesus 6/1
Leandro Trossard 6/1
Eddie Nketiah 6/1
Gabriel Martinelli 13/2
Reiss Nelson 7/1
Emile Smith Rowe 15/2
Martin Ødegaard 10/1
Ethan Nwaneri 10/1
Rasmus Hojlund 12/1

The punters aren't feeling it for United today!

The only way the title gets decided on goal difference on the final day has us with AT LEAST a 3 goal advantage going in to that final game.

For goal difference to be in play City have to draw one of their games and we have to beat Man U (or the small chance City lose 1 of their games and we draw one) either way we’d be guaranteed to be 3 ahead.

It’s still a big advantage we have on the goal difference

City could end up on 91 points this season, they’ve only beaten that amount once in the last 5 years. That puts some context on those who say City haven’t been at their best this season. Yes compared to their 100 point season but in comparison to recent championship wins they have been very good still.

You have Arsenal this year and Liverpool in past years winning a ridiculous amounts of games and being told they choked or have failed just because Pep and City were marginally better. It’s crazy. We could easily win 16 of our last 18, 48 points out of 54 and be called bottlers!

Palace have a real chance to kick on next season if they can keep their best players. Eze, Olise, Anderson, Guehi all very good, Mitchell is a solid full back, Munoz is one to watch as a flying wing back and the lad from Blackburn Wharton is a very good CM, infuse, 2 touch and destined for better things I reckon.
I’d like eze and Olise at Arsenal but I’m not sure we could give Olise enough game time as he plays where Saka plays, but Eze in the left 8 could be really dynamic for us as an option there.

Mate, don't get me started on this. The alphabet police will track us down and want us to say 'sorry'. In case you are wondering they are the woke mob who enforces non binary LGBT...etc. One of our universities deducts marks when students use the word 'mankind' in assignments, but you can use 'humankind'. Its is obvious that natural selection has failed.

Thanks mate

Thanks, I am very excited about visiting for the first time. My missus is starting to get excited too, and she is not into sports

"Everton deducted six points and then a further two points, following two separate breaches of the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSRs).
*Nottingham Forest deducted four points following a breach of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules."

Yet nothing for City ?

I guess they really didn't do anything wrong then. Deducting any points from them this season wouldn't make much difference in the standings either I imagine.

City could very well end up erasing what seemingly was regarded as an unsurmountable goal differential. We can thank in part to turning a possible 4 or 5 nil win at the Lane going into the half into something different.

In any event, what ever happens, I'm very proud of this team. Pretty much any pre-City title run of this nature would get you a title. No one said Liverpool bottled it when they got 97 points. That would have won the league by March most seasons.

We win today I'm happy. We can drop points against Everton and won't be too upset. To beat Chelsea, Tottenham and Man Utd would be fantastic to finish off the season.

Fingers crossed. I'm not too confident today of a win. I think a draw is very doable. Fairly easy possibly but a win we'll need the same kind of start we had against Chelsea and Tottenham.

Hopefully we can put an end to Uniteds 0 game winning streak at least.

Another hat trick for Chido Martin Obi for the U18 yesterday.
These are the top scoring Arsenal U18 from the past few years

I did warn that wokism was growing fast in the UK!

Are our Irish friends still denying the growth of Illegal migrants in Dublin? No?

Being super greedy for the summer id want
A new back up gk (assuming Ramsdale leaves)
A new left back/ left Cb
A top class right sided CB at Saliba/Gabriel level
A defensive mid who can dictate play and beat the press with line breaking passes
A left 8 who can drive on the dribble
A winger who is predominantly on the right but with electric pace
A central striker who is a killer in the box

7 players I can’t see it happening. But if we get the striker that could mean Jesus being used as a winger to give Saka a rest. Depending what happens with Partey will determine the midfield re-shuffle. If Partey goes then I think we need the 2 CM above. In defence I can see us getting just one of the two I mention.

This summer we really need to see some meaningful sales, Ramsdale, Nketiah, Nelson, Tierney, Tavares, Lokonga should all fetch good fees. Then there is the difficult decision on Emile Smith Rowe who I think we will sell if a good offer comes in

United is here for the taking, we must go full throttle on them. No holding back tonight.
