I have a feeling it will be a dull 1-1 or 0-0 tho. I have been wrong in the past tho.

Spot on Pete!
How do you do it!? Mystic Meg/Pete! :lol:
The guy I'm fighting it out with for top spot in one of the other leagues I'm in has pulled ahead of me and was about 20 points clear going into last nights game. Maxi scored two inside 6 mins and I was cheering away until I realised that he had Maxi. I've never been so gutted to see a Liverpool player score a hat-trick
Spoons. Agreed, there are 88 other teams in the football league would gladly settle for a mediocre 3rd place in the PL and a spot in CL next year. Heck, City would probably swap 3rd place and auto entry for a cup final spot and 4th place/the qualifiers.
BUT given Arsenal's team, the fact they made 1 cup final, and had their CL group all but wrapped up after four games only to stuff it up and finish second (resulting in a nice cushy draw against Barca), and were pish in the FA cup. I can't help but feel they have under-achieved AGAIN!
Hopefully, you know by now, I'm not one of those idiots who gloats over teams doing poorly (unless they are managed by fergy) but I do worry that Arsenal are fast approaching becoming seasoned bottlers. How long can winning nothing and choking in the big games, go on for before it becomes almost ingrained!?
Arsenal are too good a team not to win something. But, at the same time their weaknesses are obvious and known to anyone with a passing interest in football. Yet season after season they do nothing to alleviate them!?
As a 'neutral', albeit one who likes watching Arsenal play (except when they dick on Liverpool), it frustrates the life out of me!
