The funniest outcome will be if Arsenal finish 3rd in a 2 horse race.

 

Bottle It champions for how many years in a row?

Lads we’ve lost one of our last eight matches. Chill the fuck out.

Sky did a graphic, which I think Andrew posted on here somewhere that showed since mid December we are either first or, at worst, second best on every metric they had.

 

I second the honourable gentleman's chill the fuck out motion.

Well there you have it. It has been declared by the board elder and his much younger, sexier and smarter colleague that you all need to:

I'll doubtless be pissing meself on Sunday because of the importance of the game but I have confidence in the lads, at home. I think the game wont be as easy as past home fixtures against Chelsea have been. They're in good form and have pace on the wings, but it also means we'll have more space to attack in if they decide to take the game to us. I can see us edging it, hopefully.

 

Not sure about Arsenal away, they've been shite recently in the league but we're not reliable away from home, even a point would be massive.

 

The natural bedwetter in everyone expects at this point for rivals to get max points from their remaining games, it really shouldnt be that way as this league has shown time and again, hopefully still some unexpected dropped points for Chelsea and Forrest to come.

No one seriously expects you guys to miss out

 

Also you're somehow not as enjoyable a scalp for that as Chelsea, Forest or Villa, at least to my eyes.

I think we all assume you will be 2nd or 3rd.

This will be an Eddie Howe 'special' tactics event with a tweak to the formation / roles / marking to facilitate closing down Palmer and restricting delivery to their wide men. Whether it's Sandro given that defensive assignment or someone else remains to be seen. Could even see Botman come into the team with Schär marking Palmer. Offensively I'm expecting Isak to play a little deeper with Gordon and Barnes primed to counter down the flanks.
