Yes, Palace, continue playing like this. Don’t reveal your secret tactics for the last matchday (I have no realistic hope for that)

I cannot believe that the no DM lineup is working for the second game in a row. I guess both Andrews and Glasner got caught off-guard. I guess Pep has finally adapted his system to not have a DM anymore after all these years too. Took an ACL and a failed season for it I guess.

I’m not entirely sure why so many people think Arsenal beating Burnley is a given. They not only barely beat West Ham at the weekend. But have recently lost to Southhampton and tied both Wolves and Forest. I’m not saying it’s going to happen. But I’m not entirely sure why so many people think it’s a foregone conclusion. Not to mention City barely beat Burnley 1-0 recently.

I have more confidence in Burnley getting something than Bournemouth. Their high press will get abused by City for the nth time. Idk why people think they will give City a game when historically they get pumped by 3⁄4 goals under Iraola.

Listening to Jamie Redknapp talk about players who beat the norm of physicality by being clever and technical, like Foden and Bernardo tonight, is such tedious analysis and I’m so tired of it. Talking like the league is just braindead brick heads and that it’s so nice to see players who can kick a ball with intention is such nonsense.

It’s very daft to assume any game is a given at this point. Unless the points are on board, anything can happen. Gonna be a fun week or two for neutrals though.

They don’t have to lose though. A draw is plenty.
dudududujisungparty🇰🇷120 minutes ago
It would take an all-time stinker from Arsenal to draw to Burnley or a heavily rotated Palace side in which case they deserve to lose the title. Chances are very low that happens though. City are much more likely to drop more points against Bournemouth away or Villa at home.
JazzyScrewdriver121 minutes ago
Yeah, I think it’s 98% Arsenal’s title by 2 points

Arsenal drew to bottom of the league Wolves back in February. Let’s not get our panties in a bunch when someone implies you COULD drop points against a relegation bound side.
tiredofdev👤116 minutes ago
Simply stating a possibility doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. I said it could be a dangerous matchup and you’re acting as if I said Burnely are smashing Arsenal.
Also form means nothing at these last stretches when the pressure is at its highest, West Ham are fighting relegation and we all saw how Arsenal barely managed to squeeze out a win
Suitable_Clerk_617112 minutes ago
Lol no need to get defensive why do you people get jumpy when someone asks for clarification xD,
I’ve just heard this argument a few times and it does come accross like if Burnley can hang on against Villa, they may against Arsenal, which yeah but ok??
Well yeah, its the prem anyone can beat anyone.

We’ve been here before. Better to ignore it as an option totally in my opinion.

I’d like Roger’s, gibbs white. But if foden finds his form he might make a good bench.
As much as it pains from a Chels fan side, palmers just not it. I’m adamant he’s injured.

sagi1246👤17 minutes ago
To the contrary. Since city are facing two tough matches, they should really build a healthy goal difference today. otherwise, Arsenal putting 3 or 4 at home against Burnley (which isn’t improbable) would mean a tie against Palace on the final day would be enough

They could also not give a shit because mathematically they are safe from relegation and just want some fitness without risking an injury leading up to what would be a generational trophy for them right before their manager leaves.
If I was a palace player I wouldn’t take this too hard considering City are chasing the league.
Quagaars123 minutes ago
Yeah and like.i said to the other fella, a run of bad performances and string of losses isn’t the best preparation for a cup final. Dont matter if there isn’t at stake in the match, there’s wisdom in keeping good form going.

gunningIVglory122 minutes ago
I mean their playing a mid table Spanish side. Doubt their too fussed about preformances going into that game

Guess its a case of wait and see then. But surely you understand my point though that good performances breeds confidence.

Not beating city isn’t the litmus test for that especially with a rotated team
I’ve seen enough teams shit in the league win European comps there’s like one every other season lmao

No but playing well in said match is. Performances breeds confidence. But yeah I hope you’re right. That in the Final they turn the tap back on and instantly go back to playing well and win the game with ease if its that simple.

I think they mean “Refuse to show up” as in play like complete buns not in the literal sense of showing up to the match on matchday.
Burnely drew Aston Villa few days ago. Arsenal has everything to play for and Burnely has nothing to lose. Could be dangerous matchup lowkey
Villa are a useless metric. Their in absolutely free fall in the league,unais only focus is UEL
Are we comparing top Arsenal and champions league finalists to Aston Villa?
Arsenal drew to bottom of the league Wolves back in February. Let’s not get our panties in a bunch when someone implies you COULD drop points against a relegation bound side.
Simply stating a possibility doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. I said it could be a dangerous matchup and you’re acting as if I said Burnely are smashing Arsenal.
Also form means nothing at these last stretches when the pressure is at its highest, West Ham are fighting relegation and we all saw how Arsenal barely managed to squeeze out a win
Lol no need to get defensive why do you people get jumpy when someone asks for clarification xD,
I’ve just heard this argument a few times and it does come accross like if Burnley can hang on against Villa, they may against Arsenal, which yeah but ok??
Well yeah, its the prem anyone can beat anyone.
me:
you:
tell me how these two statements are different and why you had any issue with my original statement then
The same Villa who have been complete ass in the league for the past month? City are playing Bournemouth at the Vitality next and Bournemouth have been in excellent form / pushing for a CL spot.
True, potential party poopers in that squad. We just have to kill the game as fast as possible otherwise any glimps of hope they might turn up lol😂
wish we hadn’t been shit in april like every year so we could have had this league wrapped already. this is a painful watch lmao
Never seen Arsenal win a league, huh?
i was 8 years old eheh
Even a point v Bournemouth would have been valuable
Well, Palace saved all the haters some time unlike Brentford
How the fuck did Spurs scam palace for Brennan Johnson, worse than Nketiah transfer
Foden looks like a new person. Finally had a good rest I guess?
Ya 26 games
what is this ad? what retirement plan includes getting buried in packaging peanuts and taped into a box with no air holes so you have to break out
Jason Bournemouth, you’re my final hope
The refs want Arsenal to win the title so badly
PGMOL are a bin fire regardless of the match
🧢, keep crying loser
where’s this take coming from lol
The refs don’t give a shit
Fuck me sideways, Neville advertising CoPilot. It’s like a Cunt Matroyshka Doll.
We could all benefit for a prime foden for England
We could if he actually played in deeper midfield role, which he won’t because Tuchel would rather play defensive football. Tbf better to leave him home & keep his confidence high than to crash and burn and be scapegoated yet again.
We’ve been here before. Better to ignore it as an option totally in my opinion.
Who’s your pick?
I’d like Roger’s, gibbs white. But if foden finds his form he might make a good bench.
As much as it pains from a Chels fan side, palmers just not it. I’m adamant he’s injured.
Has to suck for Arsenal they won’t be confirmed winners after a home game
Would have loved to lift the trophy at home. But it is what it is….
Everton scored 3 unanswered, so it isn’t over yet (although I doubt they’ll do anything if this is the way they’re playing)
Palace look hopeless, but I think Arsenal could win the title on Tuesday after City play Bournemouth
yeah people are saying that arsenal have to win their remaining two games as if bournemouth aren’t on a 16 game unbeaten streak hosting city in a weeks time
My fav genre is takes on players most of us watch maybe 90 mins of an entire season hahahahaha
I like it when a fan base is like “why does X always play a blinder against us” like bruv they are just good you melt
I’m guilty of that sometimes but yeah seeing that in this thread made me laugh 🤣🤣
90? One minute is all it takes (no pun intended)
We all know refs gonna rig the remaining 2 Arsenal games for Arsenal to get the title
Do we all know this?
What an absolutely baffling half from palace
City started that game so slow. Stadium dead silent. And they couldn’t even put 2 passes together.
Just had decisions, if they make it 2-1 we could have an interesting game. But i doubt that and City win 4-0 lol
We always talk how strong the PL is and then you see this and its far worse than Bayern Munich against Heidenheim
The performance in Europe suggests they are pretty strong.
Palace and villa are the richest teams in the competitions and where expected to go far in their competitions. That’s not a good indication about them being strong
I mean there’s an English team in every single European final that’s a pretty good indicator of strength
Palace and villa are the richest teams in the competitions and where expected to go far in their competitions. That’s not a good indication about them being strong
it’s a pleasant surprise to be almost level with Arsenal and it’s mostly thanks to their crap April but the last two hatewatches are gonna be insane given we win this
Its all on that Bournemouth game
If you take it to the last day. Anything can happen
The amount of Arsenal fans piling on Brennan Johnson makes me think he’s going to put a blinder in on the final day
By amount of Arsenal fans, you saw, what, 5?
I think seven, but I wasn’t tracking names so some may be doubled. What would you consider an acceptable number for my comment?
Yeah Brennan will be motivated by those 7 arsenal fans on reddit lmao
Don’t think I said he would be.
Crystal Palace 1 [Johnson 90+5’ (Pen)] - 0 Arsenal
I can see the vision
begging, literally begging Guardiola to stop spitting every 2.5 seconds 🤮
Man will choke on all that coke drainage if he doesn’t spit, why do you want Pep to die?
they have behavioral therapists for these tics goddammit he needs to CEASE this behavior 🤢
Brennan Johnson is unbelievably ass. Like unbelievably ass.
Imagine the absolute scenes if Crystal Palace helps City with stat padding this match and then somehow holds Arsenal to a draw. Lmfao
This is exactly what will happen.
Do you even see this palace side? they are pathetic
They’re playing the kids that match we’re gonna win nervy 1-0 and lift it
Yeah I’m actually worried about that 🙈
And lose 10million? 😂
The players don’t care about that, that 10mil will go to replace a team member
Who do they like more? Eze or Guehi
Brennan Johnson would be out of place in a championship level team. Hes that bad
Has Brennan Johnson had a good game for Palace yet?
Looks a total waste of space every time I see him play.
He’s had a few okay games but I wouldn’t say he’s had a good one yet
This is city’s chance to push that goal difference as far as possible, make sure an Arsenal draw puts city ahead
Have people forgotten they need to go Bournemouth?
To the contrary. Since city are facing two tough matches, they should really build a healthy goal difference today. otherwise, Arsenal putting 3 or 4 at home against Burnley (which isn’t improbable) would mean a tie against Palace on the final day would be enough
Isn’t the Palace manager linked to City? Hmmmm
Yeah, they’d be winning 3-0 usually but … He’s throwing the game?
And the players are obliging too?
Fuck me.

Talking about mothers, that’s so random. I can pay 6 sessions of therapy for you if you like
I have seen a lot of names but he hasn’t been one honestly
The stuff people come up with to cry conspiracy
No lol
god palace are looking terrible
Doesn’t bode well for their form and morale going into their Conference League Cup Final. Cant turn it on like a tap.
They could also not give a shit because mathematically they are safe from relegation and just want some fitness without risking an injury leading up to what would be a generational trophy for them right before their manager leaves.
If I was a palace player I wouldn’t take this too hard considering City are chasing the league.
Yeah and like.i said to the other fella, a run of bad performances and string of losses isn’t the best preparation for a cup final. Dont matter if there isn’t at stake in the match, there’s wisdom in keeping good form going.
Tell that to Villa…
What?? They’ve been fantastic in Europe haha their best attacker isn’t playing and they’re missing other key starters
Yes but you understand the point of the benefit of going into a final on the back of victories and good performance rather than losses and shit play? This isn’t going to help.
I mean their playing a mid table Spanish side. Doubt their too fussed about preformances going into that game
Guess its a case of wait and see then. But surely you understand my point though that good performances breeds confidence.
Not beating city isn’t the litmus test for that especially with a rotated team
I’ve seen enough teams shit in the league win European comps there’s like one every other season lmao
No but playing well in said match is. Performances breeds confidence. But yeah I hope you’re right. That in the Final they turn the tap back on and instantly go back to playing well and win the game with ease if its that simple.
This Richards brother may just be the worst player in the premier league.
He’s been great all year
Was he not one of the defensive players of the year for the PL last year?
So can Burnley do anything
It’s going to be either 4-0 Arsenal or a 1-0 with a last minute goal by Eze.
To be fair, you could say that about almost any Arsenal game this season.
Go into the fetal position and hope Arteta doesn’t hurt them too badly
HAHAHA
How many goals do city have to potentially score today if things might go down to goal difference in last day?
They are equal now. City have more goals scored as well.
Both stand at +42 right now
Man, Brennan Joshson is so bad. How they paid 40M for him after his Spurs stint?
Same way they paid 30 for Eddie
He had that 6 week period where he looked like he could find the goal. But lots of awful players get purple patches Michu, Bony and Gyokores some good examples
Palace forgot how to play football
Every Foden pass is a potential assist
If I were an Arsenal fan, I’d be scared of the potential GD gain City will get this game. It looks so one-sided atm
They only need to worry about +1 GD per game. Anything else is a distraction.
GD is irrelevant at this point
My friend, we will never win on GD anymore. We need to win the next 2 games.
Arsenal have yet to drop points, they don’t have to worry about shit until they do so
Yeah, I think we’ll lose the GD. So better win those two last matches…
Johnson is so bad…..such a simple pass
