    I think last time it happened was also because of a result at SJP. Our relegated team beating Spurs 5-1. Six years ago. Arsenal were very poor tonight but that doesnt do justice to the way we played. Incredible that a team with everything to play for could be so dominated by a team with so little to play for. The atmosphere was fantastic but that only portrays the visitors as even more lacking in the qualities needed for matches like this.

      It ain't over 'til it's over of course, but I'm mightily surprised at how poor they've been since those (admittedly) impressive victories over Chelsea and United, and a good first half against Leeds.

      Newcastle were indeed dominant and didn't let up all match. For this, we're extremely grateful.

        could do the spursy double. spurs lose away at norwich and Arsenal draw at home to everton.

          Arsenal were completely overwhelmed by the atmosphere at those last 2 away games.

          cant help fehelng that there will be alot of spurs fans in the stadium on sunday.

            Arsenal probably lost it earlier by not getting enough points in the bank before this tough run-in; specifically the defeats to Palace, Southampton and Brighton. But ultimately they're not good enough.

            Spurs presumably are a better bet for getting through the CL group stage anyway: more recent experience and I assume a higher coefficient, meaning a better draw? Arsenal get another crack at the Europa (and even if they fuck that up, a parachute into the Conference League as per Leicester).

            Under the new format post-2023, they'd both be in the CL, as would Man U/West Ham* (country performance).

            *West Ham can still grab 6th.

                They appear to be playing Meat Loaf's 'Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad' during half time at Soton v Liverpool, which is excellent really.

                  Just seen on Twitter they've also played 'God Save The Queen' (Sex Pistols version) and 'Two Princes' (I don't know that one).

                  Comment


                    I did wonder if the Meat song had a meaning I didn't get, I'm even more intrigued now.

                      Southampton fans were singing the National anthem in the first half, sad twats.

                        The Spin Doctors's biggest hit.

                        Top trolling, though.

                                It's not, Man City will be 4-0 up by half time. Simply time for reflection on completing yet another season with more points than almost every other "champions" in the Premier era, wishing we'd beaten Brentford, but looking forward to seven stars on the shirt.

                                  Why did you put champions in inverted commas?

                                    Probably the mental exhaustion of crafting jinx posts since around December?

                                      I think if Villa had a decent amount of prep they might make a game of it, before ultimately losing. But playing Thursday-Sunday is going to sap the energy out of them, the squad is pretty thin

                                      City will just passfuck them and then Mahrez gets a tap in. The sky build-up will be great though, I'm sure

                                        Because the one time Liverpool won the Premier League it was the Covid asterisk season and they were crowned "champions".

                                          Last year was "the Covid asterisk season", for the benefit of any halfwits and RANOLDO shirt wearers who came up with such bollocks. The one we won was done and dusted with seven fucking games to spare, before a packed and heartily coughing crowd at Anfield as we played Atletico Madrid.

                                          Not that it triggers me, or anything.

                                              Can't believe that the Irish and Welsh players who have been starring for Man City this season are actually Portuguese and Spanish.

                                                Haven't watched any of it on the telly, you see, and assumed from radio commentary that they had players called Rhodri and O'Silver. Imagine my disappointment, etc.

                                                  It's been weirdly sterile, this title race, though. Close, and intriguing, but not gripping. No mind games, no outbursts, no dramas.

                                                  I get the feeling that these two just don't dislike each other enough. Almost any other pairing of the 'big six' (ahem) would have a bit more needle in it I reckon.

                                                    Can you name the last Irishman to play a League game for Citeh?
