Arsenal have done with their losing streak I'm afraid.

Nobody predicted we'd lose to Palace, Arsenal just drew over 120 minutes to Wigan, and if Jarvis wasn't a div West Ham could have took a point at least the other night.

Yes, I think they should win every game, but you never know.

For sure.

You never know.

Unlikely but weird things happen in football. LIKE CAMERON EFFING JEROME SCORING A SODDING GOAL.
 
Just worked this out and... we go into the final day needing to better Arsenal's result!

Our fixtures -
United h - Win puts us on 69
Southampton a - Draw puts us on 70
City - Win puts us on 73
Hull - Will be mathematically safe by this fixture

Arsenal fixtures -
Hull a - Draw puts them on 68 (-4 GD at least on us)
Newcastle h - Win (Close up GD to -2/-1 on us), 71
WBA h - Win (GD now likely to be even or +1 to them) 74
Norwich a - Highly likely they'll be 3rd bottom and needing a win to stay up

Summary:
IT'S ON!

That scenario isn't going to be good for our health
 
Dont think my heart could take it if it went down to the last day. I wanna know our fate before then, i really do hahaha!
 
However if they only win two of the next three we can afford to just take four points from next available nine and go into last day needing to win and them lose (not inconceivable!) to take it on GD, haha!
 
I think it will go down to the last round with them one point ahead going into it like the scenario just above, maybe swap our draw from the Saints to the City game but same result. We will be 4th and 5th at different points during that match as well, nervy stuff indeed.
 

Realistically can only see arsenal drawing one of their games. We'll have to win all ours, which is definitely possible.
 
we need jags back badly for this game,we currently don't have anyone who can header the ball at the back.stonesy has done well but he is a converted fb starting a new journey at cb,if we stick with our current back 4 and moysey plays fellani pushed on with mata and rooney off him it could get very messy sunday.

I was under the impression that Rooney may be injured, Fellaini will lose interest once Stones has nutmegged him whilst making one of his Beckenbauresque forays, and Mata wont fancy the battle after Barry kicks him up the hoop in the first 5 minutes. As for Stones, he was the only player displaying any composure against Palace. I'd keep him in, but I'd swap Jags for Distin, only if he's fully fit though, which I suspect he isn't.
