KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Both of them should be scrapped anyway. After a gruelling season i don't know what was in the minds of the board to add another 2 games to our schedule.To be fair, both teams will probably put out a second string lineup. So it's fine. Although the extra Travel remains...unless we just leave a few key players out completely.Mazacar should be completely left out to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,516 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 There is a very small possibility of a Premier League PlayOff for 3rd place"If at the end of the season... the question of qualification for other competitions cannot be determined because two or more clubs are equal on points, goal difference and goals scored, the clubs concerned shall play off one or more deciding league matches on neutral grounds, the format, timing and venue of which shall be determined by the board."Possible permutations Any of following score combinations would ensure Chelsea and Arsenal finish the Premier League season with identical records: Chelsea draw 0-0; Arsenal win 2-1Chelsea draw 1-1; Arsenal win 3-2Chelsea draw 2-2; Arsenal win 4-3..........................................................No more games please! Chelsea, just win and confirm 3rd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 trust & believe in arsenal... they ll bulb and drop a couple... plus we just need 1 point, right?I would rather complete the job ourselves and not rely on others to screw up OR do the job for us.Getting 1 point might do it but looks unlikely.3. Chelsea - 72 points (GD +35)4. Arsenal - 70 points (GD +34)Arsenal could easily beat Newcastle by 2 goals given that they have been in poor form and us drawing Everton then would see us dropping down to 4th and facing an unwanted CL play-off next season. OR worse, we could end up having to face Arsenal in a play-off to decide who finish 3rd if both of us finish with the same points, goal difference and goals scored. Best to just play the strongest team possible, win the game and don't have to worry about others. After all, it's our last home game of the season. Better to end of a high as well after the recent good run of results.And oh, I doubt that team you suggested there would even be able to take a point from this.

One year after winning the Champions League! :cfc:Therefore, Rafa should put in strong line-up. Just to say good-bye. The last game of the season & Chelsea should try to win it, I feel.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Even if we drop to 4th, playoff won't even be that bad because Milan will also be seeded.Our lineup should be very similar to today's simply because we lack optionsAbsolutely, our co-efficient is good enough to ensure we are given a "favourable" draw - the hardest team we'd come against is on par with the likes of those we've beaten in the Europa League this season, such as Sparta Praha and Steaua Bucharesti. Arsenal WILL win on Sunday. Newcastle are a - shit, and b - safe. That means they'll play it at walking pace, knowing they're staying up. So we really could do with three points, BUT it wouldn't be a disaster.Fourth place > Spurs :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no chance we'll get Sparta, Steaua etc. Only non-champion teams from bigger leagues will be in the draw. More likely we'll get Lyon or Borussia Monchengladbach.
