Premier League

I support Hastings but my dad is from South London. Never supported Brighton but I like seeing them do well so.

How long have you supported the Gooners?

How long have you supported the Gooners?

Time immemorial

(about 30 years)

It used to be the way but now we have a shift of plastic supporters who follow a team when it wins.

Man Utd during the 90s is the prime example unless those supporters wear the grey away shirt.

How so?

Considering previous seasons have been absolute rubbish, this one has been amazing for good reasons.

Isn't over yet sonny Jim x

Context is key, no team has ever led the league for so long in nearly ten years and then lost it. Liverpool’s 2013/14 season receives a lot of shtick for Gerrard’s slip and the one shot speech but they were leaders for far less long and had lesser quality in their team. While at the start of the season you’d have been absolutely elated with a top four spot and a title challenge, offering the same now would feel very underwhelming after the way the team’s squandered a very winnable position. I’ll admit that this version of Man City as the challenger is a whole different beast, they simply don’t let up easily (which also conversely reinforces my earlier point that failing to take advantage of when they did earlier will make this season feel disappointing).

The less said about Tottenham’s season, the better.

yep have to admit it is a major capitulation from a great position but they thrashed us in the recent fixture which speaks loads. Sad to say I was excited but now a bit disappointed but as you say I would have bitten my own off to get top four but feel empty and hollow.

Brighton surprisingly close to a UCL spot. Too bad their last few games are mainly against big clubs.

Define 'big' clubs, they play Everton, Soton and Villa last day? Man City and us, yes! Newcastle probably but I feel they have earned the right not be written off.

Aston Villa have been the second best side in the league since Emery took over on form, they’ll be incredibly tough at their home ground to boot. I think they should be favourites against the other two but relegation threatened sides have a weird habit of playing out of their skins sometimes when they are close to the drop.

If they lose to Arsenal, City and Newcastle what chance do they have of top 4?

Hope we dont bottle the top 4 to Liverpool

Who says they'll lose? They can hold their own weight and have a very capable and decent squad.

Villa will return to stereotype next season, just as night follows day.

*Disclaimer.

Just seen Everton have just thrashed Brighton so that was a huge surprise!!!!!

Arsenal have bottled it

 

[pillowprocter]

Arsenal have bottled it

There was really not much left to bottle at that point, Man City would've been heavy favorites even if Arsenal won yesterday.

Them still losing is what makes it all the more funny.
