The Gunners have also gone 1-0 up from a corner on nine occasions in the top flight this season - in Premier League history, only the Southampton side of 1994-95 can match that. It shows how important their corners can be to unlocking a game. And no matter what the state of a match, their set-piece expertise always gives them a chance
I did not know that!
Matty … of course

Arrogant Croatian way out of his depth? Yes, very much so. Just waiting to see him start playing Xavi Simons at CB.
If Forest don't manage to pull away from danger, then I imagine that they will seek their 5th manager (which sounds ludicrous). They appointed Pereira with 12 league games still to play, which is a decent chunk of their season. Enough time for him to make a difference, but also enough time to get sacked before the end.
What plays into Spurs' favour is that they still have six games against sides in the bottom half (four of which are at home) - plus Everton at home on the last day, who might have nothing to play for. I would say that on paper their run-in looks kinder than for West Ham or Forest (although Leeds probably have the kindest run-in of all). But whether that translates to Tudor getting results...
Everton also may be fighting for Europe and their away form has been excellent.
Yeah I wouldn't fancy Spurs if they were playing Everton at home now. But a lot can change in 12 weeks. The middle of the PL is currently so tight that Everton could reasonably be anywhere between 6th and 14th going into the last day.
If should Everton find themselves with nothing to play for, then a home game against a team in such a position would be a very good final game for Spurs to have. Of course Spurs will really hope it doesn't get down to that!

Amazing that after the start they had, they’re not even going to finish bottom.
Wolves will hit the ground running next season.
This is why it’s best to get your next manager in as early as possible, even if relegation is all but confirmed.
Can’t ever understand the whole “just put x in charge until the summer” argument.

Will be a lot of player turnover as there always is with relegated sides, so depends how quickly they can gel. They’ll be one of the favourites for sure.
If it’s the current bottom 3 who come down then I’d have Burnley as my favourites to come straight back up, but all 3 should be right in the mix, like the season us Leicester and Leeds came down.
Not for us though, mid table at best if we are still in the division
Yep but mid table with a chance of a top 6, rather than cast iron bottom 3 and celebrating a 0-0 draw like we have won the league.
Too early to tell for next year. If I had to guess it would be mid table with a chance to be sucked into a relegation battle, but then I am an optimist
