Did I read someone say tonight’s a free pass ? As in if we drop points it isn’t a big deal ??
I couldn’t disagree more with that, massive pressure, it’s a game in hand, we need to make it count against a lowly side at home and put 5 points separation between us and City.
Every single dropped points until the end of the season could essentially cost us the title so I can’t imagine too many people think we have any free hits left. If we ever did
I did some quick maffs in another thread a couple of weeks ago.
City can achieve a maximum of 94 points. That’s if they win all of their remaining 13 games. Highly unlikely. More likely they get something like 30-32 out of their remaining 39 points. That’s something like 10 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. Even that would be uncharacteristic given their inconsistency this season. Anyway, they get to 87 points that way.
We have 14 games left. I reckon we need to win 10 of them and not lose more than 2. Would take us to 88+ points.
So every game we now play, I’m just thinking “win this and now we only need to win x more”.
Well tonight if we win, we only need to win 9 more.
It really is an achievable target given our results this season. I can’t imagine we’ll get a better opportunity than this for a long time. Winning the league with high 80s. Please Arsenal, make my life. Please.
Neil Maupay to shithouse his way to a booking? *checks odds
Eddie benched again. Too many people were making excuses for his inability to tuck away chances. Hopefully some time on the bench gets his competitive juices stirred
