Saint Charlie Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 So, Arsenal win needed for European football. If Villa defend like they did against us then its no contest. But Arsenal can be flaky on big occassions so you never know. Despite getting a hattrick I reckon Giroud might come back in for Walcott up front. Will be odd watching this and supporting the bigger team.
SaintLiam Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 gooner for the day wenger out!!!!!!!!!! Giroud all I see on Facebook anyway but Arsenal do have the tendency to not show up for the big games...let's hope it's not the instance
Saint_clark Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 After being in the top 4 for such a long period of the season it is pretty disappointing to finish down in 7th.
Bucks Saint Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 After being in the top 4 for such a long period of the season it is pretty disappointing to finish down in 7th. Understand this, but find someone who would have not taken 7th like a shot, if if had been offered just before the Anfield match
Viking Saint Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 After being in the top 4 for such a long period of the season it is pretty disappointing to finish down in 7th. We can look at it that way or we can take the fact that we were plenty of pundits' favourite to go down, and I think most of us would've happily taken 7th at the outset. Good times, now here's hoping Arsenal can do us a favour next week....
Roger Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Since jam almost been relegation form. 5 away defeats in a row. Think we need to ship out some players
SuperMikey Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Understand this, but find someone who would have not taken 7th like a shot, if if had been offered just before the Anfield match Absolutely. Considering how well we've played this season at times it is a bit disappointing that we haven't finished higher but 7th is still an incredible achievement considering the summer we had.
Convict Colony Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Think its a win win personally, great if we get in but not too worried if we don't due to someone elses cup win as it will enable us to build on this season. What would Barry Gale choose ?
S-Clarke Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Since jam almost been relegation form. 5 away defeats in a row. Think we need to ship out some players Because that's the sensible thing to do. Snapshot an entire season over a few games.
SNSUN Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Finishing 7th means we can improve our league position next season. COYG Good point. Easier to emulate or better 7th than 5th for instance.
SuperMikey Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 So if Arsenal win the cup, Liverpool and Spurs automatically go into the Group Stage and we take Liverpool's current spot in the 3rd Qualifying Round. If we make it through that tie, we then face off against a team in the Play-Off Round which consists of winners of the last round and teams knocked out of Champions League qualifying. Potentially 4 extra games next season, and that's even before Group Stage fixtures if we make it through there! Although saying that, Villa might win the cup and we can all watch Coronation Street on Thursday evenings instead next season.

Looking on the bright side it would mean a couple more Away days, I mean who here hasn't always wanted to visit Kazakhstan?
Appy Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 Since jam almost been relegation form. 5 away defeats in a row. Think we need to ship out some players Roger in knee jerk shocker
saintalan Posted 24 May, 2015 Posted 24 May, 2015 ...I mean who here hasn't always wanted to visit Kazakhstan? Been there done that!
SNSUN Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Soooooooo, today is the day! Come on Arsenal, make your class show. I think qualifying for the Europa will be a step forward for us, even if we're relying on another team to get there. I'd rather we got Europe than not. That said, I have had a little back up flutter on Villa winning the cup, should the worst happen...
Window Cleaner Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Think Villa and Arsenal have about equal chances of winning the Cup actually. It's an occasion where form and pedigree often go out of the window.
Matthew Le God Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Think Villa and Arsenal have about equal chances of winning the Cup actually. It's an occasion where form and pedigree often go out of the window. So on what factors did you use to come up with the "equal chance"?
Window Cleaner Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 So on what factors did you use to come up with the "equal chance"? Just the one, it's the cup final.
goneawol Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Is it not known as the Gerrard Final anymore I'm expecting him to turn up in his kit like john terry. Little known fact: today is steven gerrard's birthday
S-Clarke Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 I'm not sure if anyone is aware, but it's Steven Gerrards birthday today. Don't think it has been mentioned before.
Fan The Flames Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Just the one, it's the cup final. The Cup Final that's won by the favourite 75% of the time.
hypochondriac Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 By the end of the day, I hope I bloody love Arse. OK enough about your bedroom activities. How do you think the FA Cup will go?
nta786 Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 ngl, watching Lineker's documentary makes me want to experience another Wembley day out! Looking forward to Europa League next season though if Arsenal win today even more too though
ericofarabia Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 What's with the whanky 1730 KO time. What is wrong with a traditional Sat afternoon 1500 KO for the traditional end of season match?
mcjwills Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Spurs fans are going apoletic at Gareth Bale because he wished Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott good luck in the final.
Saint_clark Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Spurs fans are going apoletic at Gareth Bale because he wished Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott good luck in the final. "He was born to play for Spurs"
The Cat Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Put a few different bets on Villa to win which will cover the annoyance of us not getting to Europe if they do. I liked the Arsenal half time Villa full time odds of 60/1.
Lets B Avenue Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 What's with the whanky 1730 KO time. What is wrong with a traditional Sat afternoon 1500 KO for the traditional end of season match?

Lorne Malvo Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Got me twenty squid on an Arsenal win and Sanchez scoring.
Saint_clark Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 £20 on Walcott to score two or more times, 9/1. Hoping he keeps the striker spot, he definitely deserves it.

Top teams hardly ever play on Sat 1500 ........ because of phucking TV schedules ....... NOT because it is what the fans want!! I'm fuming!! Just spilt my Horlicks over my best carpet slippers
Saint Garrett Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 10er on Sanchez/Arsenal at 4/1, 5er on Benteke/Arsenal at 16/1
SNSUN Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 OK enough about your bedroom activities. How do you think the FA Cup will go? :-) I should probably say Villa can be dangerous and it'll be a tight but I can honestly see Arsenal's class shine through and them whipping Villa like we did the other week.
dubai_phil Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 We have a full on Dubai Massive meeting up at our usual "Official Pub" for this one. However since every time he has been down to watch Saints of late we've lost, so Eric is being forced to stand in the naughty corner wear claret and support Villa Dubai Saints @dubaisaints 3h3 hours ago Who wants to go on a European Tour? #GunnerForADay #SaintsFC
Badger Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 I'm not sure if anyone is aware, but it's Steven Gerrards birthday today. Don't think it has been mentioned before. I did read it somewhere a while ago, but it must have slipped my mind
Heisenberg Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Stuck £150 on Villa to lift the cup. Returns nearly £600 just in case the worst case does happen. Come on Arsenal!
sadoldgit Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Absolutely. Considering how well we've played this season at times it is a bit disappointing that we haven't finished higher but 7th is still an incredible achievement considering the summer we had. Even when we were 4th we weren't always consistent and picked up some wins that perhaps we were lucky to. We finished 7th because that is where we belonged overall on average over the season. Yes we could have finished higher but we could also have finished lower. As you say, after losing so many players and our manager to finish 7th was an incredible achievement. Roll on next season!

SNSUN Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Arsenal don't lose matches like this. We don't want any Hull style goals either.
