Premier League Gameweek 24

Goonerinpeace is somewhere shouting he won't surrender to Taliban while watching this.
 
My comments prior to the FA Cup game between Arsenal and City.

Well well.....

.On the contrary, I think that Pep and Arteta will treat this game as tremendously important in and of itself, not necessarily because it's the FA Cup, but because it's the first meeting of 1st and 2nd place thus far this season and the psychological value of winning this could have ripples moving into the 2nd half of the season, and indeed for both PL games between the two teams. A win tonight, and a convincing one, sows a seed of doubt, of discouragement that can make (or break) a season. If you go into a game knowing your rival has already beaten you prior, there's an inevitable trepidation that comes with it.

I think the fixture congestion is going to pose a real problem for them, out of all the top teams they seem to have the worst squad depth.

Yep, they needed a big gap on City before European football restarted.

The thing is the title race/run-in hasn't even started yet and they look out of ideas.
 
I see someone didn't miss that Saka foul the first half?

I actually think the Everton game was the one where they lost momentum. New manager bounce yes but Dyche nullified the opponents (strongest XI) with ease.

Teams in the first half of the season allowed Arsenal to pick them off. Teams in the second half of the season aren't complacent, some are scrapping to stay up and now have a settled game plan. Saw that last week against Brentford.

Villa and Newcastle have a set order of players to go down and fake an injury in the second half if they're winning, I'm sure of it.
