Has Emmy Martinez put a single foot wrong since coming in for Leno? He is so surehanded, composed and strong in the air, how did he go unnoticed his whole career?

if we finish on 63

and Leicester go 1 win, one draw, one loss (or better) they finish on 63 (or more) and do through on GD or on points

the exact same for Manure

and  if we draw v victimpool or wolves and lose the other

we are on 64

then it only takes a win and two draws for Manure and Leicester to BOTH top us 

the skulduggery possibility is

we draw with the dippers or lose to the dippers

and both Manure and Leicester come into the final game on 63 (or more points) or even on 62

and we go down BIG in the first 45 minutes to Wolves (if we lose to the dippers this works even if Manure and Leicester come in only 62 each) 

a  draw puts both through if we have 63 and they are on 62, OR if we are on 64 and they are on 63 coming in

if we are smashed in the first half v wolves, they both will know a draw puts BOTH through in either scenario

again, if we lose both games (and are wiped out by HT v wolves), then as long as one of them has 62 and the other the same or even more (probably manure)

then a draw still puts them both through (due to GD at worst or on points at worst)

they could park the bus by mutual agreement

if they both come in on 63 or more they would not even have to draw, if we are thrashed by wolves at HT (or the just beaten by FT) provided we already lost to the dippers

I don't know why people are so keen or bold to make predictions about Leicester or Man United's results. Don't want to get our hopes up again after the BS results we've had this season. I'd rather wait and see what happens, especially tomorrow.

Sweet Caroline now!  

So good, so good, so good!

[Jase 43,479]

So, Liverpool have lost and they can no longer get the PL points record...

Arsenal have shithoused some ridiculous results this season and are still mid table! 

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Points and win record gone. what is there even left to play for them when they face us?

 

The liverpool we have seen today is beatable by all means. Even for us.

I only put it out there today because many were acting like it is likely clinched with no more points even needed

I am maths and probabilities driven

Liverpool will be nice and rested and also pissed off at somehow losing that game.

Someone needs to end that before they catch up with our record!

Arteta could be a monster if he is backed with his style of players (and quality)

They're about a year and a bit away from our home record.

Most likely yeah. But their players don't really seem up for the challenge anymore, only 3 wins out of 7 after the break.

Remains to be seen what their motivation level going into next week is (home record, lifting the trophy after the game) but they're not unbeatable by any means.

If we play on the counter attack, which I expect us to do because Kante will be probably fit, so there would be no Jorgi. I can see us make some deadly coutner attacks with Pulisic, Kovacic and maybe Mount. But Lampard has to rest all of the players that will play for Liverpool. The Pool game needs to be played like a final
