I mean this in all seriousness. I feel so defeated as a supporter. It makes me angry and sad to just see our crest at the moment. To see fans torn into groups. This club is in a bad state not just the fans, not just the management, the players... the Arsenal name. I feel slightly physically ill before each match whether we are going to play Lincoln City or Chelsea. This club is draining me at the moment because it is a big part of my life and my essence. I feel like I love it too much to the point where its unhealthy and I've thought about it all day. It gives me so much stress and nothing in return and I genuinely feel so lost. I don't know what to do. Should I take a break from watching football? Should I keep going? Should I stop supporting any clubs at all? I don't feel like I could take a break from something that means so much to me. I need advice for fellow gunners. I may seem like a crazed lunatic or whatever, but I just needed to vent to people who know what I am talking about.

Arsenal can get to fourth if they win them both but United will need a 9 goal swing and Everton would still be one point behind. Dunno if we'll get fourth at the end of the season but things have been a lot worse in recent years idk

There are but IIRC most of the top six have to play each other on multiple occasions (isn't Arsenal's game in had v United?) whereas we only have to play City.

Yeah but the top six are basically the only teams Liverpool play well against. More of a negative than a positive at this point.

Arsenal's game in hand is against Southampton, due to the EFL Cup final. They also have to play Tottenham, City, and United before the season ends.

At the risk of restating a cliche, isn't it better to just have the points instead of games in hand?

The most concrete benefit of Liverpool not having to play any other "Top 6" clubs besides City is that those clubs will still be taking points off of each other. That may offset Liverpool's inevitable self-destruction against a couple of lower ranked teams.

Will Liverpool drop points at a higher pace than the other clubs? Maybe, but this is arguably closer to Liverpool's actual quality level than that nice run in the beginning of the season.

It's really quite maddening.

Not sure if Liverpool are going to get a win against City and it's terrible that they need to in the first place.

More the fact that they are going to take points off each other.

Spurs: Chelsea, Arsenal, United
City: Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea
United, Chelsea, Arsenal, United
Arsenal: Chelsea, City, United

So that's a decent number of points that each of our rivals are guaranteed to drop in the run in (and importantly, apart from City at least two games against the others), so games in hand don't really mean as much.

Like you said we're fairly poo poo against the other teams but the games in hand really aren't as much as a bonus as people are saying.

Lukaku has reportedly rejected an offer from Everton to extend his stay and raise his wage to 140,000 GBP per week. Would Man-U be in for him or has Mourinho burnt that bridge?

Lukaku's only 23. The boy's good.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
United are also playing Everton, away to Burnley, and three relegation-desperate teams (Sunderland, Palace and Swansea) as well as Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs in the run-in. Wouldn't be surprised to see another seventh-placed finish

Don't United face some serious financial penalties from sponsorship deals if they miss out on CL football in consecutive seasons? I seem to remember it being a big part of the Chevrolet deal.

From a quick search, it looks like the Adidas deal gets slashed 30%. Chevy is in for the long haul, unless they get relegated.
