Arsenal lost 3-0 to us, Liverpool FC second half 2021. Probably the only team who didn’t even bother us this calendar year. I trust ourselves to win 4 games than to think they’ll win this one. Yeah, that’s how bad my confidence is in them to cause any problems to Chelsea.

Come on Arsenal, you win tonight and we get fractionally closer 
Just a quick look over the maths, Chelsea and Leicester playing out a draw is quite likely isn’t it 
Leicester won’t pick up any more points.
We need to win 3 games and up our goal difference
I will never, ever understand the ‘it’s gone’ type posts, when it clearly isn’t.

Can’t count the number of cricket games I’ve had to drag the teams’ heads up when it gets a bit tricky. Defended 160 on Sunday, half the kids (frightening ability, mental toughness of tissue paper) KNEW we’d lost when we only had them 80-5.
Of all fans, we know how victory can be snatched not from the jaws of victory but down the esophagus, through the stomach, round about both bowls and right from the soon to be shat out region of the beasts’s rectum. But then memories are short…

Wouldn’t surprise me if Aubameyang does an Agüero tonight. 
Well this makes it even more interesting. Huge game tomorrow, we needed to win it regardless, but this has made it even more important with top 3 possible.

Unless I’m wrong here, we win all our games and we finish top 4.
In other news Arsenal just moved above Everton

No, I think LC can lose to Chelsea and beat TH.
EDIT: in above scenario, it’s goal difference I believe.
And this is why we don’t call a really tight race for top four over, until it’s actually fucking over.
And No. I don’t think it’s quite in our hands. Chelsea and Leicester have to play each other. That means one of them is dropping points. Could now actually do with Leicester turning them over.
Chelsea can finish with a max of 70. Leicester 72. But with them still to play each other, the worst scenario for us is a Chelsea win, which would reduce Leicester to a max of 69, same as us. In that case we’d have to overhaul their +3 GD. That collapse against them looks really fucking costly now.
Of course, we need to do our job tomorrow night. Otherwise it’s academic.

Exactly, in our hands. We need to batter United 15-0 tomorrow

@Mascot a win tomorrow is not mandatory - a point wouldn’t be the end of the world.
And if we get to the same number of points with Leicester I’m sure we will have the better goal difference by then.

this…our GD would have to increase by +4 to win four consecutive…

I think we should just get rid of any goal difference issues tomorrow.
Example
ManU - Liverpool 1-1
West Brom - Liverpool 0-2
Burnley - Liverpool 0-1
and Leicester beats Chelsea
Think we would jump to fourth on next week Wednesday already.
Correct?
Beauty is that Chelsea and Leicester can’t now play out a draw and both get CL.

Same points as Chelsea, goal difference again. Depending on LC vs Ch score.
Hey, every game is a cup final for us, no replays possible.
