Game week 36 and 37 could be really interesting, all of our rivals have games against each other whilst we have Watford and West Brom back to back, could see a lot of dropped points in our favour.

Our points tally is wrong we have 49 points.

A win Saturday would be really big as both Liverpool and Chelsea would be looking up at us going into their matches Sunday and Monday respectively. It would be really good to start putting them under pressure to keep pace.

NLD such a massive game. Honestly think if we win it we'll.finish the season so strongly, at least 3rd for me.

I was having a look at the fixture left.

Chelsea have City and United away plus us and Liverpool at home (2nd last game of season). Liverpool have United away plus the Chelsea game away.

We obviously have Arsenal at home this week and then other big games are Chelsea away and City at home (hopefully they have stopped caring by then)

However i suppose we should be looking 1 game at a game, starting with the massive game against Arsenal this weekend.

Yeah, a win against the gooners would put big pressure on Liverpool and Chelsea. Looks like Chelsea are starting to crumble from inside out, again. And Liverpool, well, I think the bad mouthing of refs could end up doing them harm in other games. Refs stick together, Liverpool will be in the face of refs over every decision now. This could really upset their flow, and it’s only their attackers that are winning them games. If their defenders and sideline coaches all lose the plot, I can see them getting a couple of real hammerings..

Think Conte will be gone this week. Guus Hiddink should keep his phone switched on tonight!

Must win game against the gooners I think.

More imperative is that we don’t lose though, we cannot afford that at this stage.

We have to treat it like a cup final, the gooners will be well up for this and it would be unwise for us to underestimate them, especially that twat Aubameyang who seems to really dislike us for some reason.

I really hope the lads know how important this one is and that they turn up to not just beat them but to utterly bury their season, I want us to maul them, I am talking 4+ goal pasting and destruction.

I think we will be well up for it, the problem I have is, FA Cup game shouldn’t be ignored because it’s a priority that we win a cup I think, Poch needs to take that seriously.

Whilst it's good to aim high I'd still take 4th if it was offered to me right now along with shoving Chelsea and Arsenal out the trap door of 5th and 6th, as to which way round they'd finish, frankly who cares as long as Arsenal didn't creep back in through winning the Europa League.

I like the sound of that and agree completely that Arsenal cannot be underestimated, they will be up for this one and they have good recent form at Wembley so we will have to be at our very best, I'd be happy with any win. We have a real dilemma, we can't afford to slip up in the FA cup this week yet we can't afford to play all the big guns in our team over three games in less than a week ( Newport Arsenal and Juventus away), whilst I hate to say we need to rest a few this Wednesday, we simply have to although we can have them on the bench if things don't go to plan, fingers crossed they won't be needed.

Definitely. Trouble is, when we have a chance like this, we envariably fuck it up and don’t take advantage of it unfortunately.

That's why I'm glad it's the NLD. We'll be up for it.

I'd be much more worried if it was Leicester at home or someone.
