Verbal Kint
Player Valuation: £35m
Its fantastic that we can look forward to next Sundays game still dreaming of a champions league place, considering how we all felt entering injury time against Cardiff it's been an amazing turnaround in both our form and the form of the Gunners.
I have had a look at the remaining fixtures both sides have remaining this morning and my optimism has taken a slight knock, here are both teams remaining fixtures.
Arsenal
Everton A 6th April
West Ham H 15th April
Hull A 19th April
Newcastle H 28th April
West Brom H 3rd May
Norwich A 11th May
Everton
Arsenal H 6th April
Sunderland A 12th April
Palace H 16th April
Man Utd H 20th April
Southampton H 26th April
Man City H 3rd May
Hull City A 11th May
Looking at both team final fixtures we have by far the most difficult, the Arsenal game next Sunday is obviously a must win game now after the point they picked up against City, the following weekend we go to a team fighting relegation and and we have a poor record at the Stadium of light into the bargain. Arsenal then have a banker 3 points to look forward to against against a West Ham team that should be safe from relegation, the following night we entertain Palace probably knowing Arsenal have won the previous evening, Palace will also be fighting for survival so i don't think this is by any means a gimme. Arsenal then have the advantage of playing first again when they go to Hull on the 19th, this could be a potential slip up game for them but i also think Hull could be safe by then so id fancy an Arsenal victory. The following day United come to Goodison we all know Moyes will have them pumped up for this so it's again going to be difficult. Everton then travel to Southampton on the 26th, now it could be said that they won't have much to play for but considering half the team is battling to be on the plane to Brazil this game will prove very difficult, 2 day later the Gunners entertain Newcastle (Enough said). On the penultimate weekend Arsenal are at home to a West Brom team that could be safe by then, but hopefully for our sake they have something to play for, on the same day (probably day after for T.V) we have City at Goodison, a team more than likely needing 3 points awaits. The final game has us at Hull, we should be good enough to win here and Arsenal are away to Norwich who will probably be safe also (hopefully not).
I honestly think we need to win at least 5 more games including this Sunday's to stand a chance, even then it will probably not be enough, it's all pure guess work on my part but i think Arsenal can easily win all remaining games after Sunday's.
Tough but not impossible COYB
