I'm expecting a Soccer Aid type performance and the players will be about as bothered as most of us will be. A big piss up celebration day.

Unai will be planning for the Super Cup so I expect a much weakened side.

Bravo Legion. That was funny!

I suspect Mr Emery would like to see at least the point that guarantees 4th and finishing ahead of last season's champions.

Mr Emery should’ve thought of that before he started giving us all we’d ever dreamed of.

4th is worth a couple of mill and keeps a competitor out of the CL. Third biggest game of the season imo.

Think how stressful this game could have been - brings a nice sense of calm that it’s so meaningless.

In a brilliant finale to the season, the two niggles are possibly keeping a competitor in the league and giving another team a Champions League spot. I’d like it to be otherwise but whatever happens now it will be a tremendous season.

Well, I can't imagine anyone who had a mic in their hand on the bus parade will be playing at the weekend.  They all sounded absolutely battered! 

It's such a shame Man City couldn't beat Bournemouth.  I would have loved to have seen the reaction of the Arsenal fans watching our players clearly sleepless and pissed up three days before playing City on the last day!

Judging by their performance on the bus, I expect them to play like the Keystone cops, and I don't care.  Emi won't play given he's broken his finger and will still be pissed.
