Arsenal win? Chelsea win? or the Draw?

[AngerManagement]

As kick off approaches what are you hoping for?

Arsenal win would make them very hard to catch for third but give us a real boost for fourth

Chelsea win would give us a real boost for third but make fourth a lot more difficult

the draw would give us the potential to gain on both and this is my preference but I think it comes down to how confident you are about our own results from now until the end of the season. (it would however mean both gain on us if we slip up)

If you think we will win them all or generally finish well then the draw or Chelsea win has to be your preference

If you're scared we will fall out of the top four then perhaps you'd rather a gooner win

Arsenal win. With our form we're going to struggle to hold on to 5th, let alone 4th. We've got to look down, not up.

I don't think there is a bad result in this one. We just need to do our job later on.

 

[jimtheyid]

Agree with Daniel

 

[AngerManagement]

I've said for a long time I thought Arsenal would be big favourites for this game and I expect them to win, at least I don't think Chelsea will

A draw I think would be quite perfect for us and hopefully chelsea can show more of that defensive effort and fortune that kept out barca midweek

all results have good and bad aspects, less so with the draw

but an Arsenal win basically puts them out of sight in third for us

a Chelsea win puts us in major trouble for CL qualification

There are bad results if you choose to look at the potential negatives instead of potential positives

 

[JohanTheYid]

If only we could skip forward to our result. We can't, so draw for me. In an ideal world both us and Chelsea win.

When did Rosicky and Song suddenly become great players? They've been like two new signings for Wenger this season

I can find positives in all outcomes but we need to mitigate the worst possible outcome which would be to finish 5th or worst, therefore an Arsenal win is preferable to a Chelsea win although I'd still personally take the draw.

I physically cannot will arsenal to win, so a draw.

But a draw has the benefit of Chelsea still dropping two points and us having the chance to gain 2 points on both, yes it would be gutting if we ended up fifth by that point

But then.....equally you could call this the worst case,

We beat Chelsea to fourth largely due to the Arsenal win today, That Arsenal win also plays a major role in Arsenal finishing third above us......Chelsea then win CL when had they took the draw today we would have been third and Arsenal would be the one losing their CL status (that in my eyes is the worst possible case scenerio, so you can't dismiss the need to come third)

Perhaps but I'm not going to rack my brain with all possible outcomes as any scoreline has its pro's and con's attached - plus I'm not even considering the fact that Chelsea would win the Champions League because I'm as certain as God made green apples that Barcelona will beat them in the second leg and progress.

As long as we get our business done then that's all that matters

By the way, what is the story behind the photo on here?

While the draw is a win win all round for us, its give Arsenal that extra point that means there is every chance they could finish above us not on points, but on goal different. How sickening would that be? A draw leaves it 6 points and 6 goals in it, with 2 games in hand. We'd need a 6 goal swing.
Lets start with a 4-0 win today? How bloody good would a comfortable win be?

Yeah I realise that but what was the story?

Is terry getting in between ivanovich and rvp or were they arguing with each other?

[kcmei]

The poll bar is very hard to see

 

[lillywhites61]

Watching this game it is very tight indeed. I can see it being a draw to be honest. We need to win all our remaining games. And secure 3rd. Easier said than done obviously but we are certainly capable of a run like that.
