If Arsenal Fan TV is to be believed, that’s pretty much the mood of Gunners fans from the final whistle of the opening match EVERY year, lol.

I love those delusional goofs. But I'm also thinking United are finally out of the woods of mediocrity.

Was very surprised, the way the match started I thought we were going to lose 3-0

I checked the possession percentage after about 10 minutes, and I think they had around 92%. I thought we were in for a long day. Good adjustment(s) from the team/manager/etc.

Glad Chelsea won. Would be difficult to decide who to root for had it been Arsenal/Man U.

Hope Pulisic's injury isn't serious.

Relegation, Top 4, Europa League, tiebreaker rules

PREMIER LEAGUE TOP 4 SCENARIOS
Chelsea
  • Chelsea would clinch top-4 with:
    • Win/draw v. Wolves
OR

    • Loss v. Wolves AND Manchester United win at Leicester
Manchester United
  • Manchester United would clinch top-4 with:
    • Win/draw at Leicester
OR

    • Chelsea loss v. Wolves*
*Scenario assumes MU maintain damn advantage over Chelsea (MU: +28 / CHE: +13)

Leicester City
  • Leicester would clinch top-4 with:
    • Win v. Manchester United
OR

    • Draw v. Manchester United AND Chelsea loss v. Wolves
EUROPA LEAGUE SCENARIOS
Wolves
  • Wolves would clinch top-6 finish if:
    • They better or equal Tottenham’s result
Tottenham Hotspur
  • Tottenham would clinch top-6 finish if:
    • They better Wolves’ results
And 7th would qualify for Europa League if Chelsea win the FA Cup.

TIEBREAKER RULES
In terms of tiebreakers, here is the order and format in which league position will be sorted by if teams finish level on points:

  • Goal difference
  • Goals scored
  • Points won in head-to-head meetings
  • Away goals in head-to-head meetings
If the teams still can’t be separated after the above tiebreakers, a playoff will be arranged (at a neutral ground with the format, timing and venue determined by the Premier League Board).

RELEGATION SCENARIOS

Relegation – How teams can stay up
    • Aston Villa: Better Watford’s result OR draw and Watford draw
    • Watford: Better Aston Villa’s result
    • Bournemouth: Win and both Aston Villa and Watford lose
Aston Villa
last match: 11 am ET Sunday at West Ham

Villa needs a little bit more than a win or hoping Watford falls at Arsenal.

How could Villa go down with a win? If Watford beats Arsenal by at least two more goals than Villa defeats West Ham, it will climb over the Villans.

Similarly, if Bournemouth draws or loses, and both Villa and Watford lose, Villa could go down if it loses to West Ham by at least two more goals than Watford loses to Arsenal.

If both Villa and Watford draw, Villa stays up.

If Villa draws and Watford loses, Villa stays up regardless of what Bournemouth does at Everton.

Watford
last match: 11 am ET Sunday at Arsenal

A win over the Gunners would be enough if Villa loses.

A draw would be enough if West Ham beats Aston Villa.

Watford could even stay up with a loss if Bournemouth draws or loses and Villa loses to West Ham by two more goals than the Hornets loses to Arsenal.

Bournemouth
last match: 11 am ET Sunday at Everton

The Cherries need to win at Everton. Anything less and they’re down.

If Eddie Howe’s men take down the Toffees, they also need Watford and Villa to lose.

So....Watford sacking their manager with two games to go seems to have worked out poorly for them. Still holding out hope Bournemouth find a way to stay up.

What an epic collapse by Leicester. At the end of the day on January 1, they looked like shoe ins for CL qualification, and possibly even challenge City for 2nd place in the league. Since then they’ve only won four matches in the league.

So how much extra do you have to pay to get world class defenders who will follow the ball up field when they won't get to play Europa or Champions? Sometimes, I think the only thing that will get Arsenal back to form is to suffer the pain of relegation.
