The Race for Fourth

Sturridge has to start in place of Origi. He's just got so much more to his game in front of goal.

So shit having to wait until end of Sunday - I'm already bricking it. If results have all gone against us by the time we play, it's gonna be unbearable.
 
Stoke have an excellent record against Arsenal at the Brittania stadium

Last time Arsenal won was in February 2010... 3-1

However they where humped 3-1 a month earlier themselves by Stoke in the FA Cup and again the following season in the Premier League...

In fact Arsenal have only won once in the Premier League against Stoke at the Brittania Stadium since Stoke got promoted to the Premier League in 2008
Stop. Just stop...
 
Back in grove against a dire West Ham, let's hope Boro are in holiday mode too next week.

One win and it will have a been a good stride forward this season.

Gotta say impressive that it's Arsenal that have pushed us all the way.
 
I think there's every chance although according to some, because you've said this on the internet we're bound to lose.

Apparently such people also have the vote.
Absolutely.
I would also like to add that despite what I may have said in the recent past, Adama Traore is not a headless chicken but is in fact a super footballer and we should be very wary of the threat he poses.

Quite clearly we are part of a multiverse and the outcome will vary depending on which one you happen to inhabit at any point in time.
 
Late fitness tests for Sanchez and Kosicelny who could miss out today.

Lets hope either Sunderland or WBA can nick a point.

Sunderland don't have anything to play for and will probably get crushed but I have a feeling WBA might get something from City.

Watford were well up for it against Chelsea last night too.
Repeat that trick on Sunday and they could make Man City sweat

Relegated sides often play with freedom and cause problems.

Remember the scare QPR gave City in their 1st title win of this era
 
Sunderland played rather well against Hull away a couple of weeks ago. Hull hadnt lost for ages at home but Sunderland beat them 2-0.

Its a snowballs chance in hell but if Pickford has the game of his life, a draw could happen. Could.
 
I'm hoping that Defoe's Spurs roots cause him to be right up for this one, the thought of dumping Arsenal out of champions league reckoning must be quite the motivator for a die hard Spurs fan like Jermaine.

I think Sanchez has been a doubt for almost all of their games this season, the guy just plays regardless, like Suarez he just wants to be on the pitch, phenomenal attitude completely out of place at Arsenal.

He was making signals to the bench that he needed to be substituted in the second half vs Stoke. While they were preparing the sub he scored the 3-1 goal. His attitude is brilliant.
 
So, in summary, what I'm reading is:

We're fucked if Boro comes to park the bus 'cos we're shit at cracking that.
We're fucked if Boro comes to play with freedom 'cos we're shit at containing that.

Meanwhile,

We're fucked if Sunderland parks the bus against Arsenal 'cos they're shit at that.
We're fucked if Sunderland goes to play with freedom against Arsenal 'cos the Goons will tear them apart.

So, 4 in 4 chance we're getting fucked. Excellent.
This has to be the MOAB equivalent of pre-emptive counter-jinxes.
