Are we still pretending not to be bothered about this competition

[Rich]

now that we're in the semi-final?

I suspect Arteta goes full strength tonight with the exception of Gyokeres instead of Havertz.

Take a draw back to our place?

Some of AWIMB might be pretending to not be bothered.

Arteta isn't. I think he plays the best he has available. We need to win something.

Clearly I'd rather win it than lose but I will never be 'bothered' about it.

Personally I'd rather we canned it - while there's a glimmer of hope of a league title I'd prefer us to concentrate every morsel of effort on that.

Beating City in the final would be a significant step towards the league imo

Using the same logic, losing to them will have the opposite effect. Bottlers, chokers, second best, always the bridesmaid etc etc

And not too long before we go to the Etihad in the league.

But we are in it now. You have to try and win it.

Perhaps it might be a start of a winning mentality if won it.

Not necessarily imo. We're 6 points clear, so even a close loss will be tolerable. But if we're 6 points clear and win...

Anyway, as yiou say, no option but to go for it now
