GWT: EPL - Matchweek 37 (Ft. MW 34)

[Scandale du Jour]

What I now expect: City to lose points against Spurs, Arsenal to choke against Everton.

 

[Jussi]

First time since 2007 that Arsenal won both games vs United.

 

[hatterson]

Wow, looks like the game finished just on time. Hailing pretty good there now.

If Saliba plays more games like he did today I might reconsider my position towards him. He was dominant.

He already has…

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Why would anyone think Saliba sucks?

Did Arsenal just try to hold on to squeeze a 1-0 game against a third of a reserve Manchester United side?

Really stupid game to play Man City deserve the title if they do that again for their remaining game.

I mean if that’s what LFC would have done they might have still been in the title race

They got the result, thats all that matters right now.

I mean here is the thing . The PL is going to tilt (back?) to the boring teams. There are way too many games, so maybe the best more sustainable way is just to be boring, risk adverse, and pray for clinical finishing.

No this is not some great tactical revelation, but with way too many games, with most of them for the top teams especially being scheduled moronically by the broadcasting companies, maybe that’s the best we can do now. There’s going to be a ton of games next season too for the teams in Europe. Just another example of the Prem eating itself here

Getting the 3 was the most important thing for them. Goal difference would have been nice to put extra pressure on City to really make them nervous about a potential mid week draw with Spurs.

I'm a little surprised they didn't play harder for a second goal to keep the chances of United scoring a freak goal and stealing a draw though.

Neither team really generated anything outside of the Arsenal goal.

 

[al secord]

Arsenal will not get 3 points today. I have nothing against them.

Come back to this

I agree.

You don't count the Onana saves on Martin Nelly and Rice as goal scoring chances?

Well taken shots on low percentage chances are different than good chances.

 

[maclean]

If what I read early today is to be believed, Arsenal have never won at Old Trafford by any more than 1-0 in the Premier League. Kind of wild it happened again.

 

[bluesfan94]

Come back to this

If you insist.

 

[bluesfan94]

Feel dirty rooting for the teams I have to root for the next two days.

Arsenal grind out ugly win away against United: wow, they don't deserve the title.

City grind out ugly win away against Nottm Forest: wow, they're just winners, give them the title.

 

[Jussi]

^This is why people would rather have City win the title.

Because us Arsenal fans will call you out for dumb logic?

 

[Jussi]

Because us Arsenal fans will call you out for dumb logic?

Because Arsenal fans are making it hard to root for them.

 

[KJS14]

Because Arsenal fans are making it hard to root for them.

Someone makes a point that makes no sense = Arsenal fans are hard to root for.

We don't need you rooting for us. Go slobber on your cross town rivals for all I care. I know I'll be rooting for ours on Tuesday.

I'm not rooting for them either.

 

[Savant]

Wasn’t it just last year that Liverpool had a single healthy CB for a while?

In the Covid Season 2010-11, LFC had to use (I think) 26 different pairings across all comps.

There was no external sympathy
