Not really. Any points taken were a bonus. 1-0 the acceptable loss. All games with the PL top 6 done and dusted. Three of the remaining 4 games at new WHL. That should suffice for a top 3 finish.
Absolutely agree you can only fook it up for yourselves, as you say done an dusted, three home games against easy oppostion, imagine how embarrassing would that be if you didn't finish third.
Yeah, if we finish fourth instead of third, having had the disruption of the new stadium and zero players bought this season, and our main players injured for huge chunks of it, we'll look fcuking stupid.
but...but...he said a top three finish, make up your mind lads, what's it's to be 3rd, 4th.........maybe even 5th
Excluding the scenario where the Goons win all their remaining games (and finish on 81 pts vs a potential max of 79 pts for Spurs) , it would be disappointing not to finish 3rd with at least 77 pts.
The fight for PL 3rd/4th may come down to GD. Therefore I believe that 1-0 losses are preferable to 6-0 losses. < YMMV >
If Arsenal finish above us, all the Gooners (including Bambi and Skiddy) will celebrate like they've won the title. For us, it will merely be a very minor set back.
