View Full Version : The problem with Sunday is that, points wise, a draw is unhelpful to our top 4 chance

chances and so there’s little point in playing for one. But in playing to win, we may very well lose, which would be helpful to Spurs’ title chances.

I'll take a draw, Monts, just to stop them. Top four is gone. Away at Stoke and Southampton? Pffft, don't fancy our chances much there either. Man Utd at home? A Mourinho team unbeaten in about 29 games.

Manchester United must be close to breaking down point by now, you'd think :-\

A draw would be fantastic. Its quite funny that you still believe we are capable of playing for one ;)

They are going to hammer us. Coming away with anything would be wonderful and the top four would require a miracle. With United, Stoke and Southampton still to come it would be a miracle if we reach 70 points.

Unfortunately, they are light years ahead of us at the moment.

Top four is clearly not gone. Man Utd are distracted by the Europa (we play them a few days after their away tie) and have us and Spurs away, while Liverpool continue to prove they can lose to any old c*nts. And City are pretty much as sh*t as us.

Not gone, but would require a miracle given how we are playing. At the best of times we never win at Stoke or Southampton and never beat Mourinho. With Spurs that leaves just two games where we have a fair chance of winning.

Win at Spurs and maybe things change a bit. I just cant see it. I don't think anyone can.

You are correct that we are entirely incapable of playing for a draw. However, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of us getting something out of the game by any means. How many NLDs have you watched over the years where the gulf in class and league position was much bigger between the teams than it is now that have ended up either being attritional draws or going against form?

Also, the occasion might get to them. Last NL derby at the existing Lane, chance to finish above us for the first time in two decades, title hopes in the balance. They have shown no sign of bottling it yet, but this is another big test in that regard for a team of players who have won f*ck all in their careers so far.

If Chelsea can just sneak a win at Goodison it will relax by sphincter no end.

I'm relatively relaxed about it, actually. I'm of the view that if we can avoid the nightmare scenario of them winning the league then their bragging will feel somewhat hollow, even if we lose to them, finish outside the top 4 and lose the cup final. And I'm currently comforted psychologically by the assumption that Chelsea won't let it slip from this point. That could obviously change quickly, but for now I am staying calm.

Personally I like it but I just think it has been somewhat gobbled up and spat out in the huge commercialisation of modern football, especially UK football where money appears to have totally taken over. This may well of course be the same in the other major European leagues, of this I am not as aware.

The PL or importance thereof shíts all over the FA Cup every day of the week, then comes back and shíts on it again just for pure badness.

I was reminded this morning by a colleague that United won it last year, I may have struggled otherwise. I could not tell you who won it the season before we slayed Hull.

Once it was huge, I can recall with much nostalgia finals from the 70s and 80s more than the equivalent 12 months ago.

It's a very good point. I can remember pretty much every Cup Final winner from 1970-1993 and in most cases who they beat, but after that it gets very hazy indeed.

And, of course, that basically coincides with the rise of the Premier League.

Only one side can win the league, which makes existance pointless for almost all the others, unless there is something else to play for.

I remember the discussions back in the austerity years when AW put out weakened teams because he was desperate for the top four monies to keep the lights on (allegedly). There was much criticism of not trying to win a trophy, possibly from some of the same people who now decry the FA Cup as not-a-trophy.

Tony C
04-28-2017, 12:36 PM
They should've completed walloped us last year but we fought back with 10 men for a draw and could've won it if Ramsey had been a bit more composed...they will be going for the win which will play very well into our new system.


Wouldn't read too much into the Leciester game because of the changes we made and how shattered some of the players looked i.e. Holding in the back line and Ox and Monreal back on the wings will improve us...Giroud / Welbeck will be vital for his hold up play. Maybe a further tinkering of the system with Ramsey coming in for Ozil could improve us.



A positive result for us isn't out of the question.

As for United...watched quite of bit of them recently and I'm sorry but they are c rap. Sooner or later they are going to take a pretty big beating.

Watch it pal.

Perhaps my current relative lack of interest in or enthusiasm for said Cup is based on our campaign which through Preston, a reserve Southampton team and a few pub sides totally failed in any way to light my fire.

I still don't think there is a lot of glory attached to success any more as it is simply, and sadly, not the trophy it used to be. This to me is obvious as managers of Premier League teams almost sacrifice their involvement in it on an annual basis prioritising instead a run of the mill league games a few days later.

Top dollar, and from the opening half I saw of the first match and then our own game they were both good matches to fit the occasion. Glamour final also filled with intrigue– London derby, Chelsea double which will of course lead to the footballing coronation of Conte, Wenger’s last game (maybe), Sanchez last game, perhaps Ozil, Costa.

It’s only Ray Parlour etc.

I shall be endeavouring as hard as possible to obtain a ticket to attend the game though I live each day more in hope than any heightened sense of expectancy.

Easy to forget that for most of our younger lives, the FA Cup final was the only live domestic game you saw on telly all year. That alone made it special. Now it's just another game - a situation exacerbated by the fact that they no longer televise it from 8am with long features on what they teams had for breakfast, what their dogs' names are, etc.

Well, having lived in the SW for most of my life, I guess the local footie has always been an option for me. You are lucky enough to have grown up local to the Arse (I guess) which is great in terms of getting to see top-flight footie, (I used to go a few times a season, more when I was living near London, seldom now) and have never really needed to see lower league stuff.

Yes. I would feel about a Spurs victory the same way you lefties feel about Trump getting elected. In other words, I would assume it was a harbinger of the end times and would endeavour to ensure my spiritual affairs were in order.

Would you remand the game to be replayed?

or suggest the rules of the sport could be changed to avoid us losing?

and perhaps scream like a maniac NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO and go all hysterical on telly (this bit actually probably happens on Arsenalfantv)

To be honest, it's just something I've always assumed was physically impossible - like water running uphill or Swiss people being pleasant. Dealing with the possibility involves a huge psychological paradigm shift for me. :-(

For the record, Spurs winning the league would be FAR worse than Trump's victory. and I am not to be lumped in with other lefties

I kind of did, actually. And kind of didn't ;)

You are not the intellectual equivalent of 'ordinary folk' and then there is the fact that you are a bit of a weirdo (in a good way;))

Thank you (I think). I read that post in Schipol airport while waiting for a delayed EasyJet flight, so I was feeling distinctly ordinary at the time :hehe:

Speedy Boarding? In other words, the right to sit on the aircraft for longer and increase your chances of catching a cold.

I feared Monty was trying to suggest that he held some regard for the 'man on the street'. I didn't want you held up as an example of that and I am sure you wouldn't want to be.

Lord, no. To quote dear old Sidney Vicious: "I've met the man on the street and he's a cünt"

Paying for Speedy Boarding on an EasyJet flight is like paying to be the turd at the top of a pile of shît.
