Arteta now happy with the performance either for what itโ€™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 itโ€™s 5-0 then we should be able to win 3-0.

Basically you guys are suggesting that itโ€™s likely City are going to beat Spurs away by +2 more than weโ€™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" ๐Ÿ˜†

      @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.โœณ๏ธ

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

      โœณ๏ธ Barring improbable edge cases such as us beating Everton 7โ€“6 etc

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

      then burn it 10 minutes later

      Pepe LeFrits It's called mathematics.

      You're all measuring goals in a conversation about goal difference, I can't help you with that. It's like trying to think about gravity without the concept of acceleration.

      (I hope I'm right by the way, it's fucking late here)

        Burnwinter yeah. It's such a weird vibe. We have just set a record for wins and are going into the final weekend with a chance to win. And we are engrossed in mathematics.

        It's called something but it's definitely not mathematics ๐Ÿ˜†

        If we lose the league on goals scored, I expect to see you and @Clrnc in here making the principled stand for our points tally to be adjusted down from 89 points to 88, for consistency's sake
