Much as I love doing the BBC predictor I do not see the point of this thread. Or am I just in a bad mood?

It highlights how crucial yesterdays game was in keeping the momentum in our favor for as long as possible. For example, defeat to City if we would have won yesterday would be no disaster yet 2 defeats in a row gives Spurs the chance to regain control of the run in. The run was bound to come to an end eventually but we threw it away with piss poor effort which now means our safety net has gone much sooner than we would have liked.

i agree, these predictor threads are pointless - no one would of expected us to whack tottenham 5-2 at home, there are still a lot of twists and turns to come...

I think we can beat city BUT not if we play like we did yesterday we have a good home record they seem at the min to be imploding slightly.Balotelli even though he scored twice yesterday seems to be causing a problem for them.Hopefully aquero wont be fit.But saying all that we seem to be to shoot ourselves in the foot quite easily.

Also sunderland away wont be easy for spurs.

My run-in prediction is that Park, Chamakh and Gervinho will score the combined total of 0 goals, between now and the end of the season, but they will all be here next season or at best farmed out on loan while we still pay 50% or more of their wages because they are all useless cocks that nobody else wants

I know that wasn't really the point of the thread, but the vino is flowing tonight :barscarf:

You just wait mate.....if we beat Man City, the great man will be here giving bundles to everyone. In fact if we beat City with goals from Walcott and Song, I think all of those who can't resist taking the bait had better lock themselves away for while :D

Anyway, yesterday the "pitch was too bumpy" :D :D :D

Sun 8 Apr - Arsenal v Man City D

Mon 16 Apr - Arsenal v Wigan W
Sat 21 Apr - Arsenal v Chelsea L
Sat 28 Apr - Stoke v Arsenal L
Sat 5 May - Arsenal v Norwich W
Sun 13 May - West Brom v Arsenal D

Can't be bothered doing the others but this won't be enough for the prestigious 4th place cup

67 points, 5th, when asked how damaging it is to miss out on the CL, Wenger says, "I believe mentally it is damaging because we have fought so hard all season and the team has given absolutely everything for the whole of the season but overall I believe this team will get stronger".

"And overall I believe that if you take out the first month of the season which was played under 'special circumstances', you can see that this team has a great potential, hunger and belief and that we are maybe 1 or 2 per cent away. We will look to add maybe one more experienced player in the window"
