So WH lose and we are only 4 points behind them with 4 games to play.

If we had have played and beaten Arsenal today we would be a ahead of them with 2 games in hand.

What an advantage that would have been and shows how we have been fucked over

It's incredibly frustrating and I am livid that Arsenal were enabled by the PL to get away with such blatant gamesmanship. But they can run, they can't hide. If they think we are going to be an easier proposition with more time to work with Conte, with some of our key players also set to return, and with potentially a new signing or two to improve the squad, then good luck to them.

If we had played the same number of games as other teams right now, I would be looking at this table and thinking top 4 was still very do-able. Ahead of United, will go ahead of Arsenal if we beat them at home (whenever it will be), 4 points behind a West Ham who are on a downward trajectory.

The fact that we have so many games in hand is now brilliant, because so many of our competitors have failed to get the points on the board. They could have put a huge amount of pressure on us, but we will end up having a few free hits.

Leeds Utd made an absolute mockery of Arsenal's request to postpone. Leeds simply put a load of kids on the bench (kids, as in actual children, rather than merely inexperienced), and got on with it. They beat the team in fourth. That is how you respect the competition and maintain integrity.

They had 15 year old Archie Gray on the bench. 15!

Liverpool must be angry played today whereas Arsenal have rested. We all know most players will be fit and up for it-Although I hope it’s called off on Thur and rearranged two days after playing us -the unsporting turds deserve it.

Edit.

Hopefully watching the spammers lose was some consolation :) Bowen chesting it over with seconds to go would have been worth the price of admission alone... Safe travels home.
Definitely glad I went. Wear Ham are poor. All the bigging up of Antonio but in reality he offers absolutely nothing when he’s not scoring. I though Leeds were well worth the 3 points

I actually don't blame the Premier League for their decision as Arsenal's appeal technically was correctly However, it is the fault of the PL for making such a ludicrously loose rule where clubs can take advantage of it.

By the way who are the "PL" that actually makes these decisions? Does anybody really know?

Barca have been playing much of their teenagers all season. Arsenal used to try and compare to Barca with their academy but now they don't even turn to them when they really need them.

I can't believe we're still to play a league game at the new stadium with a full crowd against them though. They probably sabotaged the stadium too so we had to face them at Wembley a few years ago. They really are afraid to face over 60k fans who actually make noise in a NLD.

I generally find with football related stuff after 24 hours I’ve forgotten about it and moved on. But I think I’m more angry now than I was when it got called it off. There’s just nothing worse than a snivelling coward. I’d rather lose 8-0 with a team of kids than pull the coward card via a loophole.

When this game happens we need to make it incredibly hostile. Like PTSD inducing bad so they're petrified to ever set foot in our stadium again. Like the Judas return game - that hostile
