  • Manchester United v Arsenal - Sunday May 12th - 1630 PM GMT

goon You do realise we only have a 2 GD advantage against City right? If its level they will win by goal scored.

      awooga83 The challenge will be I expect the GD to be wiped out by the weekend which means we need City to probably lose that last game.

      Nah, assuming City draw one of their games which is the prerequisite for GD to matter, we have a +3 advantage. I'll take those odds going into the final day.

        Clrnc Clarence, I know it's your default state to be critical of the team, but Arsenal quite clearly had all the best chances of that game. Did Raya make a save in the match? You've basically said it yourself, United only had half chances.

          Arteta now happy with the performance either for what it’s worth. So definitely not by design.

          I think this team needs to go through a season with these sorts of wins and build some belief and swagger.

          anyone followed the coverage after the game? I need to know what Ten Hag cried about now

          If they win 4-0 midweek it will be +1 to City. Which means a 2-0 win will do it. If it’s 5-0 then we should be able to win 3-0.

          Basically you guys are suggesting that it’s likely City are going to beat Spurs away by +2 more than we’re going to beat Everton at home.

            Pepe LeFrits Ok the other way round, if they draw at Spuds, they need to beat West Ham by 3 goals more than we beat Everton.

            Normally when you are +3 you expect the other team to need to be 4 goals better off, but not this case.

              HomeSteak no. we're +3 ahead. if city tie one of the games and we win 1-0, they need to win 4-0 to win it all

                  naz oh yeah, I read that post wrong, we are +3 yes. then they need 4 yes. Spurs will win during the week so it won't matter

                      Pepe LeFrits I won't, but I feel a strong urge to answer "Your mum" 😆

                      @Clrnc's count is more practical in my opinion. If City improve their goal difference by 3 relative to us after an unlikely draw at Spurs, then we are equal on goal difference and they win.✳️

                      If they improve only by 2, we are still ahead on goal difference and we win.

                      ✳️ Barring improbable edge cases such as us beating Everton 7–6 etc

                        if spurs win on tuesday, i'll buy a scum shirt.

                        then burn it 10 minutes later
