Last home game of a wonderful season. We are finishing the job.

And hopefully sending Klopp on his way with his tail between his legs being the bonus a la Alan Shearer. What a fun day that was.

I don't really get the Arsenal winning makes a difference thought process. If Arsenal lose, Citeh win the league with a win. They're hardly taking their foot off the gas there are they?

This. It's win / win on the Arsenal - City thing.

The worst thing would have been an outcome that decided the title definitively one way or the other.

Arsenal lose tomorrow is the best result. Because Man City will have one hell of an incentive and no nerves to go with it.

Dear Santa

Please make it so Man City smash Spurs by 10 and fuck off Arsenal all at the same time.

Honestly the scary thing about Man City is that they just seem to steamroll on no matter what anyone else does, which is the best hope we have on our side right now.

We are honestly very fortunate given how we are ending the season that Spurs are playing them. Because anyone else I have my doubts if we have enough in the tank to see the job through by ourselves.

Not really, if they'd already played them when it was scheduled we'd probably already have 4th sewn up.

Hopefully it's enough to make up for the rest of the late-season luck we've been, er, enjoying.

Edit (in response to Paul): oh yeah, that's true.

Indeed, it's totally irrelevant that they're playing them now.

We've already played them twice, Spurs haven't. What's more, we've taken 9/12 points against Man City and Arsenal this season, which is a big contributor to being where we are currently.

We are honestly the 4 best team in the League. Table doesn’t lie.

Today’s Spurs result was the least we could have hoped for but it’s still good. We knew they are more than good enough to beat Burnley but it’s a bonus that they did it only by one goal. They still need to win both their games.

Ultimately, how many of us would want to swap positions?
