i think 69 is the minimum if chelsea and forest draw then 67 would do it on goal difference. as it stands... Arsenal: 68 (+33) - Newcastle (H), Southampton (A) Newcastle: 66 (+23) - Arsenal (A), Everton (H) Man City: 65 (+24) - Bournemouth (H), Fulham (A) Chelsea: 66 (+20) - Nottingham Forest (A) Aston Villa: 66 (+9) - Man Utd (A) Nottingham Forest: 62 (+12) - West Ham (A), Chelsea (H) prediction Newcastle 72 - win both thus arsenal losing a 2 horse race. Arsenal 71 - beat southampton City 69 - win one, draw one Chelsea 69 - win last game. Villa 69 - win last game Forest 65 - lose to Chelsea chores done now to focus on today.

yeah but did anyone ever offer him 2 whole pork pies....

revised my dream Arsenal: 68 (+33) - Newcastle (H), Southampton (A) Newcastle: 66 (+23) - Arsenal (A), Everton (H) Man City: 65 (+24) - Bournemouth (H), Fulham (A) Chelsea: 63 (+19) - Man Utd (H), Nottingham Forest (A) Aston Villa: 63 (+7) - Tottenham (H), Man Utd (A) Nottingham Forest: 62 (+12) - West Ham (A), Chelsea (H) Newcastle 72 - win both Arsenal 71 - beat southampton City 71 - win both Chelsea 69 - win both. Villa 69 - win both Forest 65 - lose to Chelsea

think i posted this elsewhere. there's no guarantee we win our last 3. well we drew the easiest of the 3 on saturday. i worry that haaland makes us worse. he's proven himself an amazing goalscorer but i like it when we have no clear focal point so it's not clear where the threat is. what crazy worries we have these days. as long as we finish in a CL spot i'll be delighted if you guys finish second. less about you, more about arsenals bottle tag.

hush your dirty mouth

There's only one City, all others are just pale imitations

maybe that's why Arteta thinks Arsenal were the best in Europe this year. he may be placing less emphasis on goals scored and more on the amount of curtseys he does?

this is pretty much why i hate modelling data. i can be a little obsessive with perfection. let me just tweak the model and run it through again.

when Saka missed that chance i had horrific flashbacks of Sterling doing the same for us

a penny for the thoughts of those arsenal players. probably think what an absolute goon

I fit in the first sentence not the second. Also not understanding what qualifies as expected and what doesn't is quite simply due to lack of interest. It's like if the wife talks to me about curtains, there's a bored glaze. For what it's worth my degree, way back in 88, was Maths. I deliberately avoided stats units and focused on other stuff like game theory and quantum mechanics. Silly really as stats is probably the most useful unit.

i'm gonna be honest, i don't even know what xG means. I know it stands for expected goals but it doesn't hold my interest for long enough for me to learn how its worked out.

sorry i checked bluesky and whilst bluecitybrain is on there he hasn't posted in a while. lots and lots of charts or i'd cut and paste for you

I just want top 5, but 2nd would be hilarious. Even close to Arsenal would be embarrassing for them in my opinion giving this is our worst season in a while. Anfield will be bouncing when Arsenal go there, can definitely see the possibility of any result. I think Arsenal will get torn apart. Then it's in your hands, beat a broken Arsenal and you can finish above them. Arsenal: 67 - Liverpool (A), Newcastle (H), Southampton (A) Man City: 64 - Southampton (A), Bournemouth (H), Fulham (A) Newcastle: 63 - Chelsea (H), Arsenal (A), Everton (H) Chelsea: 63 - Newcastle (A), Man Utd (H), Nottingham Forest (A) Nottingham Forest: 61 - Leicester (H), West Ham (A), Chelsea (H) Aston Villa: 60 - Bournemouth (A), Tottenham (H), Man Utd (A) My dream final table City 73 - win all 3 You 70 - draw with Chelsea and win the other 2. Villa 69 - win all 3 Chelsea 68 - beat Man United and draw with you and Forest. Forest 68 - draw with Chelsea and win the other 2. Arsenal 68 - lose to you and liverpool and bottle it to draw with southampton when needing to win ideally these results will be fuelled by some dodgy refereeing and awful VAR calls. legohead gets sacked
