No United for 10 days.

Also, what's the deal with 7th minutes in start times on Saturday and Sunday?
 
Putting an Fa Cup semi on at the same time as us is annoying. Also, no Saturday early kick off?

Apart from the Liverpool game, those are some shitty looking fixtures.
 
Crunch time, win all our remaining games and we should be cha5pions! Swansea fighting for their lives will be another banana skin though. If we dont win it we should put all our eggs in the CL basket.

Only one stand-out game (which I think will doom us all) but hopefully Wigan can continue their giant-killing to make the FA cup more exciting. Norwich I think have gotten themselves into big trouble...
 
If Wigan beat Arsenal and City beat Liverpool (and Chelsea don't win the CL) I will call this season a success.

You could win all your remaining games and still not win the league. It's completely out of Chelsea's hands now.

Are Chelsea fans hoping Liverpool win on Sunday then you beat them away or hoping for a draw?

Hoping Liverpool to beat City, since we need City to drop 5 points and I dont really want to be relying on Everton winning or dropping points vs Palace, so Liverpool beat City and we win all our remaining games is the only likely way we are champions.

You'd back us to beat the Scouse at Anfield, but not beat Swansea or Cardiff.
 
Arguably Liverpool's biggest league game in 24 years. Tickets going for £5k. The atmosphere will be incredible. If Liverpool do their usual they could grab some early goals. But City may still come back into it. It'll be goals, goals, goals...

Nothing arguable about it. I can't wait.
 
If Liverpool win they are the champions. The momentum with them will be unstoppable.

How does an M become a 5? Surely you would have been better off going with Champion5, at least the 5 is similar to an S.

You'll smash Swansea, but you won't be champions.

I was being ironic because you and Liverpool do it with your double figure hauls, also an M looks like a 5 on its side, sort of, if you've had just the right amount of LSD.
 
What's the point? For me the season is already dead. United aren't playing, its not even worth paying attention to.

Most will automatically think we would want a draw, but I still maintain we have a better chance of overhauling Liverpool than City for the simple reason we need City to drop more points and we still have it in our own hands to finish above Liverpool whereas we dont with City.

A draw would mean we need one of Palace or Everton to beat City or to drop points in both. A Liverpool win means we only need a City draw away to Everton/Palace.
 
Biggest game for us since the CL final.

Wenger's arsenal future hinges on this game.

We haven't won in ages (North London Derby?) and everyone and their dog expects us to lose.

I had to check and make sure we were playing Wigan because the way people have been going on I thought the Barcelona team circa 2009 were going to be our opponents on Saturday.

I know we've been poor, believe me I know but if we've gotten anything right this season its the FA cup. We'll win this and win the final.

If we win the cup, finish 4th and City win the league while Chelsea get dumped out of Europe. Would that mean we had a better season than every other club bar City despite some poor results?

I think it would.

You are overly-dramatic.

Everyone and their dog expects you to lose? Really?

Pur-lease. You've had countless scrapes with getting into the top 4 since then. If you'd have lost against Newcastle on the last day of last season you'd have missed out then anyway. This is hardly as big as that for starters.

You think wrong.

It would be yet another horribly disappointing season from Arsenal. Repeatedly out-classed by the top teams at home and abroad. Irrespective of the final league position and silverware Chelsea, Liverpool and even Everton fans would have much more to be pleased about in the scenario you describe above than gooners.

An FA cup game? Really?

Looks like Wenger is doing to you what Moyes is doing to us right now.

Trying to jinx us, eh?
 
I hope City beats Pool and wins the whole thing. Can't see us getting anywhere near the title and I hate the idea of Liverpool finishing 1st.
 
The choices are just so horrible. Chelsea or City or Liverpool? Truly a season from hell.

Guess I'll cheer for City on Sunday, I might hate them tiny bit less than Liverpool.

But then again, tiny bit or not, I'd feel equally shit whichever one of them wins the league.
 
City win all day long. However judging how this season has gone Liverpool will end up winning comfortably on the way to winning the title.
 
I hope Arsenal win the FA Cup otherwise that more or less rules United out of contention for a Europa League place and while it is always fun laughing at Arsenal being abject failures, a manager like Wenger deserves to win one last trophy - a trophy that might be the clubs best chance to win one for years. If Arsenal don't win the FA Cup and Wenger leaves, it might tarnish the legacy of a manager who's final nine years in charge don't serve credence to the mans managerial ability.

If we don't win Wenger is off and it would be a sad end to his tenure. But we will win.

I'm confident Arsenal will go on to win the FA Cup, but Wenger might see that as the perfect send-off. Particularly, if Everton go on to seal the final Champions League place. But again, I expect Arsenal to stave off Everton anyway.
 
I expect FA cup and top 4. Then I think Wenger will give it another few years to finish building the MkIV team. Drop either ball and I think he may head off into the sunset.

Wenger doesn't seem the type to leave on a low. His early career deserves a fitting end.
People will hold it against him if he leaves this Arsenal team without the trophy/top four. We are seeing it with SAF and he left after a title winning season!
 
I think Wenger will be tempted to call it a day with Arsenal if, as expected, he does win the FA Cup.
