Big Gabi and Gabriel Martinelli called up for Copa America.

No Gabriel Jesus thank God. He needs to have his knee fixed within a fricking day of the season ending if we want him at full strength next season.

Wasn’t expecting Fulham to make a dent but still frustrating they’re going down like little lambs.

Going to come down to Spurs and of course us taking care of business vs. Man U and Everton.

I have very little hope, but I do see a route that might work and it only takes 6 things to happen.

#3 we need so bad. If Aston Villa loses Spurs still has a chance to get top 4. Small, but still a chance which means it gives them a reason to go for it and get points on Tuesday vs City at home.

1.) Spurs win today - DONE
2.) Arsenal wins vs Man Utd
3.) Liverpool beats Aston Villa
4.) Spurs tie or beat City
5.) Arsenal wins vs Everton
6.) Win the Goal Difference. - Arsenal +2 right now.

still hope but the Villa loss at home last month stings even more

team was lathergic in that game and that might be the difference between City and our boys down the stretch

Same lineup as last game. United missing Bruno and Rashford. Their lineup is pretty shite but Old Trafford is always a challenge.

Kinda uneasy at how this is going. I’ll feel better if we get to half still 1-nil.

Agreed, definitely a poor first half.

Whew. Glad to get to half. We were giving them all kinds of good chances.

frick. We need to play our normal game. We are too tentative and have too many holes when we park the bus. I hope to goodness we can catch them napping on a counter and put this away.

And we almost did.

Whew. Any win at Old Trafford is a great one. Glad we are keeping pressure on Shitty til the end. Oh for any kind of result from Spurs Tuesday.

It is what it is. Before the season started if Arsenal could take 6 points from United, 4 from Liverpool, 4 from Chelsea, 4 from Tottenham and 4 from City give that to me. Arsenal are up against an all time great team with an all time great manager. COYG!!

Great win baws.

In the league, this might be our best season ever, not including the invincibles of course.

From mid January to now, we have been unstoppable.

Not winning the title after getting 46 points out of 51 would be cruel but so be it. Proud of the boys and proud to support a team with dogs literally all over the pitch.

We lacked a little killer instinct in maybe 5 matches this season and it may come back to haunt us but I will take 88 points every single season. We are competing against aliens with Pep and City but so be it. We truly are on the up. I thought last season was amazing, this tops it for me.

86 Points. I mean come on. They're doing all they can!

William Saliba is different gravy. Dude is insane.

Spurs either gonna go for it on Tuesday or put out a U21 side and lose on purpose. Excited to get hurt again regardless.

Saliba was incredible today. The ball to Havertz to set up the assist was outrageous. His ball skills and presence of situations today was world class. He is the player of the year for the club and league. Hasn’t missed a minute.

If you have to look at any one team closely where Arsenal fricked up this title chance is Fulham.

Calling them little lambs is hilarious given Arsenal only took 1 of 6 possible points against them this season.

Then criticizing them for not beating City lol.

Sure fine.

What if them struggling against Fulham twice allowed Arteta to unlock something new in attack?

I mean it's a butterfly effect. 89 points should always be enough to win the league. That is literally 25 points dropped all season.

The problem is City drops less than 23 every season. It is what it is.

Funny to see that sad state of club. Fighting chance for a champions League spot but would rather throw the season

No, what’s hilarious is you bragging how good Fulham has been then thinking you have a gem criticizing me as an Arsenal fan for being frustrated they didn’t show more against City. And you did catch where I said I didn’t expect Fulham to get a point versus City?

Shut the frick up, shithead. You contribute nothing but troll shite posts.

I actually agree with this. It would suck if roles were reversed however, after what 7 years in the shitty Europa League, we made more make the quarterfinals this season in the Champions League than we did in the previous 5 or 6 Europa League seasons combined. That is fricking insane.

If they shoe was on the other foot, I 100% want Arsenal to get top 4. It attracts better players and the funds are amazing.

Also, next year's Champions League will be way more profitable considering the increase in games and revenue.

Crappenham can't afford to bottle this game. It would prove to any player wanting to play in Europe they are not the place for them.
