Given that there’s f**k all difference between finishing second or third, I’ve been surprised to see

[Monty91]

some Arsenal fans say they want Man Utd to lose against Chelsea on the weekend.

Little bit defeatist, imo.

I'm quite sanguine about the whole business, every result has up/downsides for us and anyway, we're going to be watching a pulsating FA cup semi final live from wembley against a weird plastic club from the footballing heartlands of that bit the other side of heathrow.

perhaps those supporters are still concerned that we coul dstill be 5th at the end of the season????

No thanks, I've got my own

[Monty91]

but for the past few weeks, every game Chelsea have played has represented another chance for them to allow us back into the reckoning.

This weekend is probably the last of those chances. So I'd quite like not to see it go to waste :shrug:

Has Arsene taken the pwide aht of it for you at last?

[Monty91]

My thinking is based on a balance of probabilities. It should be perfectly possible to be looking over our shoulders and ahead of us at the same time.

Not literally, Geoff.

[Monty91]

insurmountable.

But.....BUT....if they were to lose to Man Utd AND us, and then had to travel to plucky Leichester Rovers....now that would be interesting.

I watched 24 Hour Party People last night, a very underrated filum

[Pokster]

as most people would want a Man U win or a draw with loads of red cards, serious injuries and Mourinho being stabbed to death

Give it up, Evil Cesc f**ked it for us at the weekend

[pjlincs]

[Monty91]

albeit a slightly smaller one.

[Classic Jorge]

Of course, there's a mathematical chance, just not a realistic one
