The Race for Fourth

Not open for further replies.
I'm not worried about Sunday. There is a reason why they are second from bottom. They're shite.
 
Fucking hell chaps....really really clutching at straws thinking Sunderland could get something at Arsenal. It'll be 3 or 4nil easily.
 
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.

He supported Arsenal growing up.
 
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.

Just to add to this.

Boro are relegated so have nothing to lose so will hit us with everything. Sunderland are already relegated and so on holidays already.
 
If we play with the same line up we with against West Ham. Parking the bus isn't going to help them.

Wenger's at it, too, complaining about 'teams like West Ham' relaxing, while apparently ignoring the fact that the likes of Southampton played against us like it was a crucial game and then snoozed through the game against the Gooners.

I do wish that miserable git would just go and give us all a bit of peace. You see him during games and he's clearly hating every minute, even when they're winning. He needs to do something that he actually enjoys while he's still got time!
 
It has to be the same eleven doesnt it ?

Theyre away from home and have no reason to park the bus , its purely playing for pride so hopefully they give a go.
 
No. No it doesn't.
Origi to the bench, Firmino on in his place.
Nah firmino looked shagged before getting injured, i liked how the lump that is divock offered a decoy for sturridge

Bring firmino on if and when we need him in the second half

Guardiola's response to Wenger's moan about teams taking a breather against their rivals but being up for it against them:

“I never saw one player in my life go on to the pitch and not try to win the game. But if you don’t want this situation [depending on others to get results], you have to win more games yourself. He plays against Everton and Sunderland, no? Both teams are done, no? One is relegated and one is in the Europa League, so it’s the same situation, so you don’t want to complain. Do it better during the season and you will not have this problem.”
 
I want Arsenal to win tonight.
Get their little hopes up ready for their bathtime selfies only to be dashed as we flay Middlesbrough at the weekend.

Boro are going to hit us with everything?! Hahaha! The reason Boro are being relegated and probably have the lowest goals for column (haven't checked but it was), is because they are shit. They aren't going to hit us with anything.

No.

Nonononono. Minimise risk, eliminate all possibilities as early as possible.

It's like people saying they wanted United to get to the final, because it would be funnier to watch them lose/ impact on their league form blah blah blah.

Fuck that. What if they win? Out as soon as possible. Same with Arsenal - all hope extinguished, so that it doesn't fucking matter what we do against Boro.

They've been relegated along with Hull and Sunderland.

We lost 2-0 to Hull and drew 2-2 with Sunderland in our two most recent fixtures.
 
I'm going the pictures tonight at 8. As such I'm jot gonna know the scores til I get out.

I'm hoping to see wins for Sunderland & WBA.

I'm also hoping for a random fit female stranger to give me a blow job during the film.
 
Hull lost 2-0 at home to Sunderland when they were "fighting for their lives" snd Sunderland had already been relegated.

next.
So a match between two relegated sides is a great indicator as to how a 3rd relegated team will do at Anfield. ? Ha. Jesus Christ. That's a stretch to say the least, even for you. Next
 
So if you could choose for one of them to blow it tonight with a loss, who would you hope for?

A City loss would strengthen our position, while a Arse loss would secure top4.

Maybe you havnt seen this beautiful one of a kind inquisitors time gauntlet ive been carrying around recently.

At the time of the match, one of the sides wasn't relegated, and were "fighting for their lives" - a point YOU introduced to the discussion - and they still fucking lost, to a team who were ALREADY relegated, and thus, apparently not "fighting for their lives".

I'm not sure why you're finding this all so confusing. It makes fuck all difference whether or not a team is relegated, or "fighting for their lives". Just ask Tottenham, who were fucking spanked 5-1 by an already relegated Newcastle last season.
 
We also beat Hull and Sunderland at home. NEXT.

Yeah, but wait! They weren't "fighting for their lives" at that point!

Or perhaps Sunderland still were, but they still managed to beat Hull - who were "fighting for their lives" - and still beat them at home, despite not "fighting for their lives". A fact which Frogfish first ignored, then actually got wrong because he seemed to think Hull vs Sunderland was a match between two relegated teams, when in fact one was very much still "fighting for their lives" and very much still got fucking beat.

Almost as if HIS ENTIRE POINT was rendered irrelevant by my amazing use of obvious, relevant and recent facts.

So whether or not they have anything to play for, or otherwise, it seems to make no fucking difference (SEE ABOVE POINT RE: HULL VS SUNDERLAND) and we've already dropped points and lost to really shit teams - as well as beating them - so it's not really viable or accurate to use their relegation status as any indicator of how they will perform at the weekend, as I illustrated yet further by using the fantastic example of Newcastle (already relegated; officially not "fighting for their lives) twatting Spurs 5-1 in the final game of last season.

He's already had his arse handed to him on this one, and your fucking help isn't going to make it any better. The opposite, in fact.
 
Haha Brendan's need for self validation (and his need for the last word - which is coming right up folks) is hilarious! A 250 word crowing essay to prove his point. All because I misread his post. Jesus Christ.

And talking about having your arse handed to you it was shocking how you slunk off the last time we got into it and yours was on a platter. No guts to admit you got it wrong. Just went dark. Something you learnt from your employers no doubt.
