Next week will be a tough game, can see Bale tearing our back 4 apart. The only chance we have is to just try and outscore Spurs, since I don't see a clean sheet as a possibility.

After that though, I can comfortably see us picking up points in every game we have left. Barring an implosion like we had last year, it should be a good end to the season for us.

I can only hope that Suarez will do a miracle and bring you victory :/

People say we still have a chance of being in the top four and while Spurs having tough upcoming opponents could give us a chance I don't have much hope about it. Spurs is on fire now and this win will probably give them a huge boost. At best I believe we could end fourth but then this soulless team really need to get their shit together. If today's performance is an indication on how we will be performing the rest of this season then the only thing awaiting us is Europa League (which we will lose in as well).

Overhauling Spurs isn't going to happen now, that's for sure, but we can still catch Chelsea. They will drop points in the run-in. We just have to make sure we don't drop any more points.

wut

Swansea away (beat Arsenal at the Emirates already), West Brom away (extremely strong at the Hawthorns), Fulham away (drew at the Emirates. Two home games against Norwich and Reading but Everton to come as well.

Plenty of points to be won and lost by all the London teams.

We have United to play and Swansea away 3 days after travelling to Munich. We're dropping points, it's over man.

That part is exactly why I don't feel all that hopeful. We drop points too often.

Didn't even know this as I didn't check the schedule. Welp...it's over. United will tear us a new asshole and Michu will be the final nail in the coffin.

I didn't realise how close City are to Chelsea and Spurs. Second could easily be up for grabs as well at this rate.

There is a bigger point gap between United and City than there is between us and City. That's incredible (though I know they have a game in hand).

Oh I had already written off the United game as a loss, but I wouldn't underestimate Chelsea's ability to implode under Rafa. It is looking like the Europa League is in our future though... Wonder what Wenger will cling to at the end of the season if that happens.

At this point we should put out a youth side and get battered by Bayern it's going to happen anyway. Need to focus on the league and at least try to get 4th place.

It will either need to be a massive implosion from Chelsea or a huge uptake in form from us. Games I can see us dropping points from:

Swansea away, United home, Newcastle away and we could still drop points against Everton, West Brom, Fulham. The draw is too hard to make up 5 points on Chelsea, it will need to be an implosion of massive proportions.

Damn, that was a GOLAZO. Fuckig Michel was fucking advanced as hell. When did we play like Bielsa?


Fucking Michel.
Click to expand...

hahahahha. are you a casual fan? that goal was shit, you know things have gone to shit when MARTIN fucking BRAVO scores on you. Michel has always been an overrated Oswaldo clone, and your back 4 are slow as fuck. Still, both teams are very mediocre that it might end up in a tie.

I could see our full backs being okay against Bale, but unsure about Carra :)eek) or Skrtel.

they were playing an away game in my hometown (ankara), my friend who is a trabzonspor fan suggested going to the hotel they were staying pre-game and getting some signatures. he was singing along with some other turkish players while they were getting on the bus.
they were all so polite.

Wenger says that but he obviously did. He instructed both Arteta and Ramsey to track Bale when he moved towards the wings and it worked perfectly up until Arsenal fell apart. I'd be more worried for Arsenal if their manager actually didn't make plans to deal with Bale because that's an essential part of neutralising Tottenham.
